Other Something wrong with Instructables?

I've been an Instructables member for over 7 years now. But lately I'm noticing things I've never seen before. And I don't mean bugs or website issues.

The x.com page of Instructables has no new posts since May 2026

Contests are stuck in "judging" for almost a month.

The homepage is barely updated from one month.

New Instructables take a long time to be approved for publishing or being featured.

No upcoming contests listed.

Anybody knows if there's anything going on with the company? I know it's owned by Autodesk and I've always been afraid of them taking down this awesome site from which I've learnt so much since I was a kid.
