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.

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.

What solution were you using before Cloudflare?

Also when will CloudFlare drop lemmy as a 'Nazi' site?

thank you guys for your work! is it possible to disable the cloudflare analytics/telemetry aka cloudflareinsights?

Thank you for the update!

We was behind Cloudflare since day one 😀 And even on Cloudflare there is not the origin IP its again reverse proxied, and we are small site compared to lemmy.world 😜

Any news? I'm still seeing empty pages sometimes (db errors I think), s6 wonder if the kiddies are somehow getting through despite cloudflare.

Thank you❤️❤️

Do you run a reverse proxy infront? Eg. nginx is pretty performant at dropping unwanted traffic.

So many hackers targeting lemmy huh.

It is obviously not. Why would it be?
