The attackers found another slow db query to exploit, so had to put some temporary measures in place.

Will post more details later!

This time they actually took down the instance for several hours.

Thank you mrmanager for your service! o7

I’m on other instances too, but federation of posts has been sooo wonky lately. Like posts show up on one account, then they finally show up on another hours later. Or I’ll comment and it won’t show when viewed from another instance. Idk what gives!

Was it like that before the attack as well?

I can look into it and make sure we are federating properly. During an attack or after, it wont work, but it should federate as soon as the attack is stopped.

I've noticed issues with federation tonight, but not before this attack. I just made a bunch of comments and posts and was wondering why none of them were gaining any traction. I checked from other instances and the posts do not appear on them.

Thanks for all you do!

I see some comments not being federated yet, here is one example:

https://lemmy.today/post/42824004 (112 comments, last comment 1 hour ago)

https://lemmy.world/post/39592788 ( 108 comments, last comment 3 hours ago)

https://sh.itjust.works/post/50825191 (105 comments, last comment 3 hours ago)

In this example, lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works has less comments than lemmy.today on the same post.

Normally comments show up right away so perhaps this is a sign of a problem. Will keep looking at it during the day.
