In the past two weeks, the site has been very unstable, sometimes for one second a page would load and the next it wouldn’t load at all. The status of lemmy.world would fluctuate a lot on lemmy-status.org, and there have times where the site has been down for hours.
Didn’t they also say that there were other kinds of attacks being used as well, not just DDoS I may be remembering wrong but I feel like I heard one of the admins say something about a database related attack where they overloaded the database with download requests or something like that.
Could be, I’ll look into that
