I'm sure it must be frustrating to have to deal with these attacks, but in a sense they're a signifier of how popular / successful this instance is.
Thanks for all the work you do on it, Ruud.

Also the more attacks there are the more vulnerabilities found and get fixed. I think in the long run it helps the platform to mature and be more stable.
The script kiddies are unpaid QA testers.
Big ditto!
I'm getting kinda tired of these attacks. Is some loser from 4chan not getting enough attention from mommy?
Something like that, or potentially some jerk with a knack for technology who's decided to use their abilities to be an ass.
"What's wrong?"
"No comment"
Sorry, I'll show myself out.
The attack today was wild, someone kept hammering lemmy.world for like 4~5 hours straight. Where do the attacks come from? Maybe also report to law enforcement? (even though practically speaking the chances that they are going to do something about it are very slim)
Hexbear started making a big deal out of the defederation by lemmy.world today on their instance and it's possible that their script kiddies might have felt the need to retaliate.
These have been going on since they defederated from the Nazi instance but the lefties still get the blame lmao
For real... especially since the "problems with comments" are really convenient for the Mods who seem to be censoring the opposition they are getting to the hexbear defederation left & right - my absolutely civil disagreements were just deleted.
This is why I have a couple different fediverse accounts
Why would you attack Lemmy in the first place? I guess it's probably because you can for some wierd people.
Because their mommy was mean to them today - (told them to take a shower).
Because their hot pockets burned their mouths.
Because they have a micropenis.
Because they see themselves as helping make the site better.
Some people just do because they are mean and have the knowledge to do so.
Really ramped up after the alt-right extremists on exploding heads were defederated from. There was also turmoil yesterday with the announcement that lemmy.world won't federate with hexbear, and a lot of the users of that instance employ some shady tactics to influence and astroturf. Or it could just be some dumb troll. Who knows?..
Looks like it's fixed now?
Thank you for letting us know!
Keep up the good work.
Hexbear attacks
Wouldn't surprise me honestly, but these have been going on since before the hexbear announcement. I would say it's rather convenient timing, but in reality these attacks have been very frequent so it is likely a coincidence. I'd wager more on the alt-right neonazis from exploding heads being the responsible party.

Putin has both the far-right and pseudo-communists in his pocket to be part of his evangelization troll army. There's no much difference between the camps, just the coat they wear.
Thanks Ruud! LW staff are doing a great job!
What kind of attack is this one?
those damn script kiddies
The comments still seem to be generating, so I'm able to see them. Great work on your instance @ruud@lemmy.world, you're handling your tenure as Lemmy's largest instance extremely well!
Thank you Ruud for all the work you do!
Is this why direct links to replies from the notification view no longer work?
@ruud@lemmy.world and @sunaurus@lemm.ee
I added some self-awareness of concurrency to the Lemmy API Rust logic: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3805/files - this should allow a more standard in-band response to concurrency slow-response server overloads. Keywords ('woodstocksnoopy' as watchdog, and even more alarming keyworld to find in your logs: 'SITE_OVERLOAD') were added to the logging to make it explicit when this is happening.

It seems that you can make the comments appear by refreshing once the page is already loaded. At least as far as the webapp goes.
