I’m just asking for recommendations in case, I feel like migrating to a smaller instance or maybe try kbin for a change (but I’ll miss the voyager web app)

      DDOS attacks have been hitting fediverse sights. LW is combating it. Once they lock it down the DDOS attacks will turn to the smaller servers.

        If only lemmy.world would invest into something like stormwall, ddos-guard or nexuspipe. Cloudflare is complete dogshit against most modern ddos attacks (unfortunately).

          Most anti-DDOS tools don’t deal with federation well. They keep out the obvious and less obvious automated requests, but federating servers are exactly that, automated requests.

          Until there’s some anti-DDOS service that understands the details of ActivityPub, I don’t think we’ll see servers survive such attacks.

      This is not true. C’mon.

      Does it go down? Yes. Annoying. Has it been down longer than it’s been up? Of course not.
