I'm learning a lot by following lemmy.worlds actions. Appreciate the transparency!

You’re doing a great job so far. Thanks for the update.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Why is Cloudflare so bad?

ty for all ur hard work ♥️

It's not ideal, but there's not a whole lot of options out there for DDoS mitigation.

Where can we donate toward server costs?

I put this site behind cloudflare in response to this post. Other than having to change SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full, it seemed easy. I turned on bot fight mode and I'm using the managed WAF ruleset that comes with the free tier. Any configuration recommendations anywhere in the panel?

I wonder now with the semi-adversarial/semi-cooperative nature between lemmy instances, if wer'e not going to see more DDOS and other types of raids happening because a different instance has an ax to grind against yours. Say between you defederated them, or they consider your instance too big etc.

Maybe is that Reddit dude, jealous of Lemmy's increasing popularity.

If you decide to use Akamai, hmu. I'm not an Alamai guru, but I do it professionally.

Yeah, first make sure it doesn't show anywhere anymore

It went down again, lol. For like an hour or so, right after I claimed it was working for me. Go figure. :B

I assume you are rotating ip addresses after swapping to cloudflare?
