At least for this time, it appears some child wrote a bad crawling bot, heavily hammering the instance with requests for posts, comments and stuff - and i think they knew as they hide behind a vpn. For now things should be better as i did some short term measures and i am trying to better prevent such actions better.. hoping for the best.
Its people like this who should donate lol.
I kinda lost track on my Anubis deployments, it appears here i only have a useragent blacklist so its time to give it prio for lemmy as well. However i worry whether that is sufficient.
(while things are much healthier again, i acknowledge that at least in the webui, its not as fast as it should be)
I hope it’s not me, I am working an iOS app for Lemmy and been experimenting with network fetching and retrying 😅 my app, Spud, should be identifying itself in User-Agent
thank you for the info but no, there was no helpful identification, the useragent was pretty generic
Thank you a lot for the info! Hope you'll find a solution!
Thank you! Seems much faster now.
mmh did some more tuning on the database this morning as the cache hit ratio was a bit low, i hope the calculations for available memory prove to be correct :)
