Weasyl became mostly unavailable about 3 hours ago as a result of a DDoS attack. We’ve blocked it for the moment, and the site is back. We’ll continue to monitor things.

Ack! Well, the ETA is now.

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 14/06/2026

There isn’t a built-in one yet, but we’re working on this feature! Is there a specific type of management (folders, tags, …?) you’re looking for that we can make sure is included?

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 10/06/2026

We’ve now fixed some residual slowness related to this issue.

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 07/06/2026

The site is back up! Sorry about the few hours of downtime.

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 07/06/2026

Thank you for the report! The site is down, and we’re now looking into it.

We’re still figuring out the best way to write a targeted policy, but the intent, and the way existing policy is actually enforced, is that AI isn’t allowed on Weasyl.

021

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 07/02/2026

And it’s fixed! Within a few hours, as promised.

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 07/02/2026

It looks like we broke friend requests today! A fix should be in place within a few hours.

You can report issues like these to the e-mail address at www.weasyl.com/help/faq#con.... (We have plans to add better on-site reporting options in the near future – for comments, messages, profile pages, and general issues – and we’ll update the FAQ entry then. But for now, e-mail is the fastest.)

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 07/11/2025

Thank you for the report! I think we’ve handled this one – could you confirm that it was a private message that has since been replaced with “[phishing message removed by Weasyl staff]”?

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 26/06/2025

It should be fixed now! Thank you for the report.

Hello @weasyl.com users, your characters and journal entries now create embed cards when you link them. Enjoy! #weasyl

A cropped screenshot of Telegram, with a message linking to https://www.weasyl.com/character/83337/berrysap, which generates an embed card for that character.

And we're back! We'll try to make the next update we post something more exciting. 🙂

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 08/04/2025

Weasyl is down! Technical issues, no ETA yet.

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 13/01/2025

So, congrats, you found a bug! We've deployed a fix, and you should be able to block that tag now. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 11/01/2025

That is a good question! Checking on that here

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 05/12/2024

Yes, that post would be General. We'll review the rating guidelines; thank you for bringing this up!

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 03/12/2024

We're still experiencing intermittent errors related to the previously announced upgrades. Please bear/fox/etc. with us while we continue to investigate, and sorry for the service interruptions!

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 03/12/2024

Thank you for the report! We had to fix a few more issues that were making the site go down sporadically, but everything should be working now.

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 03/12/2024

Hi! Where did you see a reference to "moderate"? We removed that rating in 2017, but we might have missed a spot.

100

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 01/12/2024

Probably not. Our coding resources are limited and we have a lot of things we want to do still. That being said, our website does work on mobile, and we also have an open API, if someone did want to try their hand at making an app!

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 01/12/2024

Okay! So as you may have noticed, we're back up. We hit a very interesting edge case on the server when we rebooted it. Thanks for your patience! For the technical folks, the issue was a corrupt ZFS cache file causing not all the zpools to load on boot.

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 30/11/2024

And of course, something had to go wrong with the updates. Sorry for the delay! We're working on the issue now. No concerns about data, just looks like an access issue right now.

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 30/11/2024

As a heads up, we are running through some updates of our underlying infrastructure, so it's likely the site may go offline briefly for a reboot or two in the next few hours. It shouldn't be more than a few minutes!

I'm not sure how your screenshots are cropped compared to what you're actually seeing, but they don't look like nothing from here! (By the way, our support address is support@weasyl.dev; DMs work too if you prefer.)

Hi! What's broken?

Helped design and implement a new tag blocking UI for @weasyl.com. Featuring: - blocking and unblocking multiple tags at once - a much more intuitive workflow, especially for unblocking - refreshed help text Left image is old; right is new. Enjoy the new interface! #weasyl #webdev

Thanks for the report! We accidentally blocked it while blocking some suspicious scrapers. It should be fixed now!

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 31/10/2024

We have a lot of things around staffing and site structure in flux right now, but will definitely keep you in mind! Also good luck with the FA mod team! They can also use the help. :)

Weasyl @weasyl.com · 30/10/2024
