AFAIK it's a mix of DDoS attacks and Lemmy bugs.
It's really getting old. But if it's DDoS attacks, I'm not giving up. I might if it was just repeated resource issues, but I refused to be pushed by assholes.
There's no reason not to use a different home instance. It's generally a good idea for sharing the load.
As you can see, I posted this from a different instance, so I get that, but I've spent a lot of time subscribing to things from my .world account and it works take a long time to duplicate that on an alt, so my preference would be to stay there as my default.
I haven't tried it myself but there seems to be something for this: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
I assume I'd need to do that on a desktop, correct? I've been exclusively mobile, but could give it a try.
That's correct. It's currently a desktop-only tool.
But who would be DDoSing Lemmy instances? Not that I doubt you; honest question.
It was me. There is a light switch in my garage … I didn’t know what it was for. Figured out today it launches attacks on Lemmy.world 😭
On that score, there's not much use trying to reason it out. The 4chan types seem to like kicking down other people's sandcastles. It doesn't buy them anything, they just seem to get off on increasing unhappiness.
I’d personally blame Slovenia, but that might be unfair as there is no evidence or motive. They may still be behind my late car payment, though. In all seriousness, no one knows but the admins have posted about it weekly.
Reddit, Lemmy haters who were defederated, Lemmy haters, literally anyone.
Seems like a bad combination.
