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.
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.
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.
