It's been a while since I've made these type of posts but there'll be a server maintenance that will (hopefully) address the recent Lemmy-UI problems.

edit: I'm going to cancel this because the problem has been solved by blocking excessive crawling/scraping bots. No more crashing and zombie processes.

Lemmy.zip has this really cool webpage for stats. Live Federation Stats

That's actually really cool. Maybe I should put something up like this too. I've been curious about our stats lately

Thank you for your efforts in running ani.social!

Update: I'll postpone this for a week as it seems like the issue comes from a Chinese datacenter in Singapore that's scraping the site very aggressively.

I'll block the IP range and see if that solves the problem.

May I suggest https://www.crowdsec.net/ for those pesky scrappers? I've been using their free service for about 3 years on my personal server and it's very good for dealing with these kind of problems.

Thanks! I've used this before but decided not to set it up for this server because of Fediverse things. I'm afraid I might break federation with it. But I'll see if I can work around that.
