For hours today, yesterday, and intermittently since I’ve been on here (a month or so) lemmy stops loading using jerboa, liftoff, and a web browser.

The site isn’t listed on any down detector I know of, and each app gives different errors but ultimately just won’t load.

It’s often enough that recently when I consider jumping on here I just don’t because there will probably be an issue. Ranging from not loading, JSON errors, or just blank screens and my comments not working…

What’s going on? Is there a status page for these places?

    Thank you, helpful person!

    I edited the .ini file and installed python 3.11.4 without problems.

    When I type py in powershell it replies Python 3.11.4 (tags/v3.11.4:d2340ef, Jun 7 2023, 05:45:37) [MSC v.1934 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32, so it was obviously installed successfully.

    However, when I copypasta the commands you posted I always get the same reply for each, that python could not be found. What does that mean? Do I maybe have to put a filepath into the command somewhere? Do requests have to be installed separately? What is the meaning of all this, the universe and everything and why does my back always hurt?

      I bet replacing python3 with py will work:

      py -m pip install --user requests
py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini

            It is weird. I can navigate to the folder in powershell without a problem.

            C:\Users\Username\Desktop\lemmy_migrate-1.1.0>

            But when I execute

            py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini

            in there I get

            C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe: can’t open file ‘C:\Users\Username\Desktop\lemmy_migrate-1.1.0\lemmy-migrate.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

            Edit:

            Found the problem, it´s

            py lemmy_migrate.py -c config.ini

            and not

            py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini

            Thank you for the help!

        py -m pip install --user requests

        worked but also returned a warning:

        WARNING: The script normalizer.exe is installed in ‘C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\Scripts’ which is not on PATH.

        py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini

        does not work and returns an error:

        C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe: can’t open file ‘C:\Users\Username\lemmy-migrate.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

        I guess I have to place the files in a certain directory, putting them in the python folder did not help though.
