Before you start.

  • I have checked the Common Problems page.
  • I have searched the issue tracker for a bug that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Linux
  • Browser Firefox
  • Version 88.0.1

Describe the bug
When I click the fraidycat toolbar button to view my feeds, it opens a page (with URL "https://fraidyc.at/s/"), but instead of showing my feeds it displays the Firefox "Unable to connect" page. When I try curling the URL, it just gives me connection refused. I am able to view other sites normally.

Same here:

OS: Ubuntu
Browser: Brave
Version: V1.25.68

Seems like a server-side issue to me.

It looks like it's back up (at least for now). I'm a little confused why it would require that website to be up, though. Is it not possible to display the feeds page totally locally?

Apologies! Had a server upgrade issue I didn't catch.

I agree! I don't like this situation - here are the details, if you want the full explanation:

Thanks for the further info (although the link didn't work for me, looks like the question mark isn't included in the linkified part)
