You’re doing a great job so far. Thanks for the update.
I'm learning a lot by following lemmy.worlds actions. Appreciate the transparency!
ty for all ur hard work ♥️
It's not ideal, but there's not a whole lot of options out there for DDoS mitigation.
I put this site behind cloudflare in response to this post. Other than having to change SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full, it seemed easy. I turned on bot fight mode and I'm using the managed WAF ruleset that comes with the free tier. Any configuration recommendations anywhere in the panel?
Where can we donate toward server costs?
Maybe is that Reddit dude, jealous of Lemmy's increasing popularity.
It seems like you made this comment in jest, but I wouldn't say it's outside the realm of possibility. We can't fly off the handle and lob accusations absent any sort of proof, but it would hardly be the first example of a corporation targeting an up-and-coming disruptive service run by amateurs.
I wonder now with the semi-adversarial/semi-cooperative nature between lemmy instances, if wer'e not going to see more DDOS and other types of raids happening because a different instance has an ax to grind against yours. Say between you defederated them, or they consider your instance too big etc.
If you decide to use Akamai, hmu. I'm not an Alamai guru, but I do it professionally.
Yeah, first make sure it doesn't show anywhere anymore
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
