Failed to load community plugins - Mar 2023

I have previously solved this issue by following the instructions to change the DNS server settings suggested in the following post.

But I’m facing the issues again today and I’m not able to solve it.

  • I tried Cloudflare and Google DNS settings
  • I have tried the DNS settings from Quad9 as well.
  • I am able to browser other internet websites
  • I am able to browser github.com as well

Note that I am from India

Are you able to view this in a browser?
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/master/community-plugins.json I’m guessing not.

Try OpenDNS as well:
primary: 208.67.222.222
secondary: 208.67.220.220

Can you try on your phone’s hotspot (if it has one) or a different network?

Do you have access to a VPN?

I was able to access the community-plugins.json link you shared in the beginning. But then I swithced to my hotspot from my mobile and then it stopped working.

Now even if I switch to my older network, its not working any more.

And now that you mention it, I have actually used my hotspot from my mobile in the morning before posting this question.

But now I’m not able to get it to work irrespective of what I try.

bro have you diagnosed your problem yet or should i weigh in…?

Same issue with myself as well from India. Every day for a few hours
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/master/community-plugins.json is inaccessible and all my plugin installations and settings vanish and due to the sync with Gdrive every devices are also affected. Internally Obsidian can handle this a little gracefully in my opinion, when GitHub is not available at least use only the installed plugins and not revert things.
Painful to customise Obsidian every day with plugins. Thinking to switch back to Roam research. :disappointed:
