FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

lemmy.world was briefly back to normal and there had been a post saying that everything was fine now - it's not.

The site has just started doing the same thing again.

Please do not try using lemmy.world for the time being.

the post saying everything was fine now was coming from the same account that was originally compromised
