Seems to have been more malicious traffic today, causing issues for the site. I've put a block in place, which seems to have helped.
I'll keep an eye on it.

Appreciate your hard work ❤️

Good stuff :)

I was wondering whether it was a backend issue which can be fixed but if it's malicious traffic :(

And more stuff blocked today. Lemmy seems to be drawing more and more attention from various misbehaved bots/scrapers etc.

I noticed comments have been very slow to load recently. Guessing this was the issue.

Ty Lodion. May I ask if it was malicious generic traffic or malicious lemmy-api-targeted traffic?

[–] lodion@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Generic, non-lemmy traffic.

[–] trk@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

That's the worst kind of traffic
