Imagine your life is so worthless that you decided to ddos a feddiverse instance
Actually is quite easy to image.
…if someone pay them to do so.
I sure it’s Spez.
Some people are so sad lol
Who and why is attacking lemmy.world?
i even notice downtime, so i guess who ever is attacking is doing a very shitty job lol.
Here is some useful information for people wanting to move instances. For a list of instances, along with with stats for those instances:
https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy or https://lemmyverse.net/
Also, tools for migrating instances:

I don’t know if it’s ddos attacks or if it’s a “lemmy hug of death” way to many users overloading the servers network, we need a bigger Internet pipe?
The site usually works for me during off hours early morning usually best.
I really don’t get the sense that Lemmy is being overwhelmed by users. Things be pretty quite in these here parts. If this kind of volume is bringing down what I thought was one of the main instances, Fediverse seems kind of doomed. I’ve long been worried about scalability. I’ve tried other instances and had issues. Each time I think should I give up or hop instances, make a new account etc. People will flock to the biggest most stable instances, but if they can’t afford fancy hosting, everything starts to crumble
