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!

From what I understand, Cloudflare can block some DDoS attacks, but not all of them.
The attacks on Lemmy have to do with poorly optimized SQL requests; these are requests that shouldn’t take long to execute, but do due to some oversight. By spamming these requests, the attackers can bring Lemmy on it’s knees.
Actually, wouldn’t this attack better be categorized as a DoS attack ? What’s so distributed about it ?
