I put this site behind cloudflare in response to this post. Other than having to change SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full, it seemed easy. I turned on bot fight mode and I'm using the managed WAF ruleset that comes with the free tier. Any configuration recommendations anywhere in the panel?

Welcome to the internet, glad thereβs a working solution
Hmmm, we're getting a fuckload of web requests on our Lemmy too... I think I'll enable CloudFlare too! :)

Is it just me, or is old.lemmy.world still using its old IP address?
lemmy.world and m.lemmy.world

old.lemmy.world should be cloudflared, too
Yeah we will fix that soon
If you decide to use Akamai, hmu. I'm not an Alamai guru, but I do it professionally.
Whats the motivation to DDOS? How mutch is specific malice to lemmy or lemmy.world itself and how much is genaric.

Yeah, first make sure it doesn't show anywhere anymore
Thanks a lot for all the work you folks are doing to keep this instance up.
My biggest problem with CloudFlare is that very often they don't play nicely with VPN.
Lmaooo Cloudflare is in the comments downvoting criticism
It went down again, lol. For like an hour or so, right after I claimed it was working for me. Go figure. :B
Nice try, Mr. Huffman.
ah, rate limits. something twitter was absolutely blasted for but makes sense here because we love lemmy :) even though it serves the same purpose.
There is nothing in theory wrong with a rate limit as long as its not set so absurdly low or to such a long amount of time as to impact actual users. The problem is implementing them stupidly.

Not sure if itβs related, but today on Mastodon, Iβm unable to upload photos. Also canβt see pics from other users. Profile pics are mostly greyed out too.
Yeah, this is just growing pains for any website. Get popular enough for it to be "fun" to target. Then get enough data that it's "profitable" to target. Etc. And the usual way to deal is to first use an external solution at least until it becomes too expensive due to traffic volume. Then make your own solutions for problems you can solve yourself and pay external companies for the ones you can't.
