Hello, can confirm, we took it down temporarily for maintenance. The sheer number of people in it was causing some performance problems. These problems will be fixed in an upcoming patch soon and the server restored. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Is there anywhere to find info on selfhosting in the meantime?
Self-hosting at the moment is a significant amount of effort, and when the new update comes out will be simplified a lot, with multiple options and documentation.

Joining Fluxer HQ is currently disabled due to the server being overloaded.

Fluxer HQ is currently unavailable–there's lots of new people joining the platform and joining the community which has caused that community to get stressed. This is actively being worked on, but thank you for reporting!

On the mobile website, the community temporarily unavailable screen does not appear. Instead the user is met with an empty screen with no explanation.

If it helps, this is the response {"code":"UNKNOWN_GUILD","message":"Guild wasn't found."}. But I can see that, as @Jiralite pointed out the guild invite is temp. shut down. My point: I would reframe this as a UX-bug, since this is what new users are first met with, which is quite a bad first impression. I am in no way criticizing, just bringing perspective. Thanks for great code, this project is going places! ❤️ 🚀

Yeah the "Join Fluxer HQ" notification should ideally be hidden for now until the issue with very large guilds are solved. When I first registered and tried to join it I thought that all guilds were going to be down due to server issues, while other guilds do work fine.

I wanted to add onto this, the fluxer-hq invite link that is on the website main page has this same issue. It's not a good first look for people who are coming onto the project to click the "try without an email in 30 seconds" link and have it go to an expired link. It may be worth removing that link on the main page until this is resolved.

Is there any way to get into the HQ? I have some questions about being able to be self hosting for my company TekkNodes and use the application as my support ticket and such :)
