Same here. It's available on the Internet Archive:

Note that I had to disable JavaScript to prevent it from hiding the content and displaying "Sorry, we couldn't find what you were looking for."

(Main Dev of site here: Sorry for that! I should really get around to setting up autoscaling. Site should now be properly available again.)

While I have your ear, any reason why the Be Happier post[0] isn't loading anymore? Loading it through the Wayback Machine it shows that the author deleted their account. Did you folks decide to hide those posts? I only ask cuz it's my favorite post on the whole site.

Yeah, the old Reddit codebase was super inconsistent about how it marked deleted and "soft-deleted" posts, and so we erred on the site of deleting stuff to not accidentally deanonymize someone.

But now that you remind me of that, I think we now have the relevant technology and understanding of the old DB to make it do the correct thing. I will give it a shot in the next few days.

That's awesome news. Good luck!

I've been out of the loop a long time -- did the backend change along with the frontend? I remember LW links surviving HN hugs before...

Yep, backend changed together with the frontend, and we are still working out some of the kinks.

Actually you should probably set up a CDN. There is no need to serve pages that are the same for every visitor from your server.

It eventually does, just keep trying.

Same here. I tried the home page, but it's not loading either.

Works for me
