It's up (and fast) for me rn. They have been getting DDOS'd in a way specifically targeted for sites running Lemmy. Lemmy is still beta software so hopefully this can be a growing experience for the greater Fediverse. The .world admins are some of the most capable out there.

It's amazing how federation makes it so those of us on different instances don't even notice when .world gets DDOS'd

Well, a lot of the communities are hosted on world. I know they make the biggest single contribution to my federation ingress. So, I mean you will kinda notice a bit of a content drought if they're down long enough.

You aren't wrong, but also a lot of the communities I subscribe to aren't on .world so I still have content.

Normally a DDoS would mean I have to go find something else to do!
