Heard it was DDoS attacks, which seems pretty likely.
Another benefit to using a smaller instance (or hosting your own), you don't have to worry about this stuff

Hopefully they don't try to mess with Beehaw, y'all are too nice :)

This does wonders at keeping the instance up, but breaks the mobile apps and federation functionality sadly ☹️

My instance is using Cloudflare and has no issues with federation or mobile apps (I sent this reply with Connect).

Assuming a standard caching configuration, those services should not break under Cloudflare.

Sorry I should have been clearer in my original comment - the DDoS mitigation features of Cloudflare specifically affect the apps and federation, so as long as you aren't under attack it's business as usual

Ah fair enough, I think most would be fine with that compromise tbh

Oh Damn. So the community still needs to figure it out...
