Why have we started blocking lemmy.world? (NO LONGER BLOCKED)
(files.catbox.moe)
UPDATE: @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org has responded
It is temporary as lemmy.world was cascading duplicates at us and the only way to keep the site up reliably was to temporarily drop them. We’re in the process of adding more hardware to increase RAM, CPU cores and disk space. Once that new hardware is in place we can try turning on the firehose. Until then, please patient.
ORIGINAL POST:
Starting sometime yesterday afternoon it looks like our instance started blocking lemmy.world: https://lemmy.sdf.org/instances
This is kind of a big deal, because 1/3rd of all active users originate there!
Was this decision intentional? If so, could we get some clarification about it? @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org
If this is true I will be making another account and moving to a different server. The only reason I joined this one was that it doesn't seem to block/defed.
As someone working on integrations I'd also have to leave if we're permanently blocking the largest instance, but I'd like to give SDF the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe this was just a temporary measure to deal with the insane load from yesterday?
For me lemmy still doesn't work. At least not without U.S. VPN. Otherwise I get error: 502 Bad Gateway
Maybe it's just not fully up yet.
I noticed that with Mullvad it's also doing that, I think it might be an anti-spam system?
