Lemmy.ml ~~is down right now~~ (back online, was unreachable for about 6 hours)

3 years ago by BitOneZero @ .world to c/fediverse

Is Lemmy.ml Down? We have tried accessing the Lemmy.ml website using our servers and here's what we found out.

lemmy.world had a DDOS in the past 24 hours, Lemmy.ml was showing problem, but now it is entirely unreachable. lemmy.world was showing "Error!" page (server still reachable), but that seems to have only lasted for a hour or so.

I mean, this is one way to find the vulnerabilities in your system, I guess...

Ok so I have learned that it is always good to have a backup account or two if I am intent on getting my memes

lemm.ee has always been solid for me. At this point, I'm debating whether to just make it my primary instance instead.

Same but it’s tough to keep favorites synced and blocks and filters.

I wrote a tool that will help: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

Let's you copy your subs, blocks, and profile settings between Lemmy accounts.

You can run it as many times as you like and will keep adding new things.

At the minute it never removes things though, so you'd have to unsubscribe multiple places.

True true. Hopefully some of the upcoming 3rd party apps can address some of the issues like this.

Cloud? I'm making one, and doing everything locally. Your phone can hold a small database - from there it's all data management. It's

I haven't started synching accounts yet, but it's in the works. Eventually, I want to do custom feeds and stitch feeds from multiple servers/accounts together

I neither want nor need your data though... It's harder to do it all on the device, but it's very doable

lemmy.world is back up now (I'm posting this on it). I'm looking forward to @Ruud posting a postmortem.

This information clarified so much of this morning for me.

Was troubleshooting on my phone because I thought it was my kids using all the bandwidth for YouTube (kids)) and Roblox on a slower than normal Sunday.

Lemmy.world is now responding some at least, and some of the comments from remote servers came into this posting just now.

It's weird, I can access Lemmy.world through sh.itjust.works but I can't log in. Are they updating maybe?

FaceDeer 8 points 3 years ago

If you mean that you can see content from lemmy.world from sh.itjust.works, that might be stuff that federated over before lemmy.world went down.

But aren't we talking and communicating on lemmy.world right now? Maybe I don't understand it correctly and we're communicating on sh.itjust.works even though it says lemmy.world.

lemmy.world is reachable, but no database connections, it has an "Error" page on every post I try to load. Which this post itself on Lemmy.world serves as example: https://lemmy.world/post/1578844

Sorry, not very techy, what does this mean?

lemmy.world is reachable, but no database connections,

Does that mean he's being attacked again?

Beehaw.org was down for over 30 minutes, came back for 15 minutes, now down again another 30 minutes.

BitOneZero 3 points 3 years ago

6 hours down for lemmy.ml is really going to have a lot of items queued on lemmy.world, beehaw, and other popular servers to delivery to lemmy.ml - causing resources to climb on all those servers.

Why tf aren’t they using Cloudflare for DDoS protection? The site isn’t run for-profit so it would be covered under the free tier. My homelab is proxied through Cloudflare and would be able to handle an attack better than this.

You can use markdown codes in titles. Bold, italic, and in my case strikethrough. Two tildes before and after the text.
