Every time I try to access this community, ther’s some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the status page, it’s almost all orange/red. The problem aren’t DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection. Admin/mods, why don’t you move this community to a different server instance? I’m not accusing anybody, I know that maintain a server can be a challenging sometimes, I just want to enjoy this community!

Please!

    Ironic. They could self-host for others, but they couldn’t self-host themselves.

    By claiming that the problem isn’t DDOS, you’re just advertising your ignorance. Cloudflair is outstanding for protecting static web content against DDOS, and Lemmy.world is well protected against that. The problem is certain dynamic pages and api calls that can only be rendered from costly realtime dynamic database operations…those are the url that the DDOS attackers are focusing on and those are the kinds of content that cannot be easily protected by cloudflair.

    Your premise, though, is still accidently correct. The way to mitigate instances being targeted by DDOS is to spread the user base and community hosting across a vast number of instances so that no one instance is such a rewarding target for DDOS attack.

    Well your account is on lemmy.world so how d’ya know the issue isn’t with your own access to the front end?

    Many don’t interact with the lemmy.world directly, so we might only see delays in post propogation (if there is such an issue on the backend - I don’t see any but could be wrong).

    I agree picking the biggest instances isn’t great from a scaling perspective, but s’gonna be hard to move any community once established.
