I expect Lobste.rs's outage to be totally unrelated to Heroku's, just pure timing coincidence.

From the last archived version of lobste.rs/about: https://web.archive.org/web/20250601002505/https://lobste.rs...

"Lobsters is hosted on three VPSs at DigitalOcean: a s-4vcpu-8gb for the web server, a s-4vcpu-8gb for the mariadb server, and a s-1vcpu-1gb for the IRC bot. DNS is hosted at DNSimple and we use restic for backups to b2. (Setup details are available in our ansible repo.) Lobsters is cheap to run, so we don't take donations."
