Hmmm, we're getting a fuckload of web requests on our Lemmy too... I think I'll enable CloudFlare too! :)
Welcome to the internet, glad there’s a working solution
If you decide to use Akamai, hmu. I'm not an Alamai guru, but I do it professionally.
Whats the motivation to DDOS? How mutch is specific malice to lemmy or lemmy.world itself and how much is genaric.
My biggest problem with CloudFlare is that very often they don't play nicely with VPN.
Yeah, first make sure it doesn't show anywhere anymore
Thanks a lot for all the work you folks are doing to keep this instance up.
ah, rate limits. something twitter was absolutely blasted for but makes sense here because we love lemmy :) even though it serves the same purpose.
There is nothing in theory wrong with a rate limit as long as its not set so absurdly low or to such a long amount of time as to impact actual users. The problem is implementing them stupidly.
Nice try, Mr. Huffman.
Cloudflare makes the website feel dirty, but it'll protect the site until a better option is found.
Not sure if it’s related, but today on Mastodon, I’m unable to upload photos. Also can’t see pics from other users. Profile pics are mostly greyed out too.
Yeah, this is just growing pains for any website. Get popular enough for it to be "fun" to target. Then get enough data that it's "profitable" to target. Etc. And the usual way to deal is to first use an external solution at least until it becomes too expensive due to traffic volume. Then make your own solutions for problems you can solve yourself and pay external companies for the ones you can't.
