sh.itjust.works admin via matrix:

“looks like a bunch of instances are under attack at the moment”

Not saying it was a coordinated attack (per your edit), but anything popular is a prime target for various types of attacks, especially easier stuff like DDoS. But with every attack, the developers and various admins/owners of instances learn something new and how to mitigate it. So while it’s annoying, it’s just as much a blessing as it is a curse - better to patch things quickly than leave an exploitable hole open for who knows how long with access to who knows what.

Yeah, for me too. Seems like whole fediverse has issues, problems with loading posts etc. at least for me

I had that too. Tried multiple instances myself. Nice username btw.

It seem like it’s a bug which spread through more than a ddos.

Restarting the backend of an instance should fix the problem otherwise web users could try clearing the cookies

Another DDOS? There’s been a few of them lately

I was facing issues with lemmy.world too, now seems to be okay

When vlemmy.net disappeared (and it was the only one I had registered to), I registered at lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, and while I was trying to register at lemmy.ML, I registered at feddit.NL by mistake. (then I requested a login at lemmy.ml, but never got a confirmation).

At the moment feddit.NL is the only instance I have a login at that I can use.

That was a happy mistake :-)

Maybe the problem is me. If feddit.nl goes down, I’ll know for sure.

That’s the problem with the fediverse. They tend to go down a lot. Same thing happens with mastodon servers.
