Hi guys,

Server has been quite slow the last couple of days, and it turns out its because the old.lemmy.today user interface was being hammered and scraped by bots. I turned them off now temporarily while i look into this.

In the mean time, enjoy a faster instance, hopefully.. :)

Edit: And the user interfaces are back online.

Now everyone is rate limited on their real ip before hitting any of the alternate user interfaces. This means the web server can protect against bots hammering the site.

Currently it looks like its working. Both the default web site and the alternate user interfaces are fast again. Give the alternate ones a try if you are using a web browser to access the site. :)

thanks for posting about it, I was very confused.

ps. If your username is an Arrested Development reference, I especially love it!

:) Its not but now I have to check that out!

The username is just a joke really. The entire office culture of managers and how they see themselves as very important, often just making the place worse for employees. :)
