I'm sure it must be frustrating to have to deal with these attacks, but in a sense they're a signifier of how popular / successful this instance is.

Thanks for all the work you do on it, Ruud.

I'm getting kinda tired of these attacks. Is some loser from 4chan not getting enough attention from mommy?

"What's wrong?"

"No comment"

Sorry, I'll show myself out.

You won't see this, but thanks for working on the fix!

The attack today was wild, someone kept hammering lemmy.world for like 4~5 hours straight. Where do the attacks come from? Maybe also report to law enforcement? (even though practically speaking the chances that they are going to do something about it are very slim)

Hexbear started making a big deal out of the defederation by lemmy.world today on their instance and it's possible that their script kiddies might have felt the need to retaliate.

This is why I have a couple different fediverse accounts

Looks like it's fixed now?

Why would you attack Lemmy in the first place? I guess it's probably because you can for some wierd people.

Thank you for letting us know!

Keep up the good work.

Why don't these people go and do something useful, like play in traffic?

What kind of attack is this one?

The comments still seem to be generating, so I'm able to see them. Great work on your instance @ruud@lemmy.world, you're handling your tenure as Lemmy's largest instance extremely well!

Thanks Ruud! LW staff are doing a great job!

those damn script kiddies

Hexbear attacks

Thank you Ruud for all the work you do!

@ruud@lemmy.world and @sunaurus@lemm.ee

I added some self-awareness of concurrency to the Lemmy API Rust logic: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3805/files - this should allow a more standard in-band response to concurrency slow-response server overloads. Keywords ('woodstocksnoopy' as watchdog, and even more alarming keyworld to find in your logs: 'SITE_OVERLOAD') were added to the logging to make it explicit when this is happening.

Is this why direct links to replies from the notification view no longer work?

It seems that you can make the comments appear by refreshing once the page is already loaded. At least as far as the webapp goes.
