It’s been a while since I’ve made these type of posts but there’ll be a server maintenance that will (hopefully) address the recent Lemmy-UI problems.
edit: I’m going to cancel this because the problem has been solved by blocking excessive crawling/scraping bots. No more crashing and zombie processes.
Update after trying to use the site for a bit:
It seems like something got messed up. My mobile apps can’t connect to ani.social any longer and the alternative frontends are throwing 500 errors. Meanwhile, in Firefox, I am getting prompted occasionally by cloudflare to verify that I am a human.
I am guessing that some cloudflare setting is causing it to block certain consumers of the api. Federation still seems to be working, so ActivityPub is alive and well. Similarly, I was able to connect via @rikka@ani.social, so she should still be ok. However, I am getting 403’s most other ways to connect to the site.
My bad. I think I messed up somewhere but I’ll turn off the filter I made in the meantime. I’ll figure it out again when I get home from class.
