Hi guys,

Server has been quite slow the last couple of days, and it turns out its because the old.lemmy.today user interface was being hammered and scraped by bots. I turned them off now temporarily while i look into this.

In the mean time, enjoy a faster instance, hopefully.. :)

Edit: And the user interfaces are back online.

Now everyone is rate limited on their real ip before hitting any of the alternate user interfaces. This means the web server can protect against bots hammering the site.

Currently it looks like its working. Both the default web site and the alternate user interfaces are fast again. Give the alternate ones a try if you are using a web browser to access the site. :)

    Just spread the word about the instance if you like the hands off approach to moderation. :)

    Sounds good sir!

    I like the open federation (I think one instance was banned - not even sure which but must be deserved) and relaxed moderation.

    Thank you for your work. As long as we keep the bots and any prolific spammers off it’s a great model for the fediverse.
