Why is Lemmy World down? (lemmy.ml)

Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

I've tried refreshing lemmy.world and Cloudflare blocked me:

I'm officially a bot now I guess.

Edit: But more on the topic, they have been plagued by DDoS attacks recently so my guess is it's more of the same.

I was actually scrolling through to see if anyone posted anything about the outage hahaha. Do they make announcement posts to warn about an outage for Lemmy version updates?

Other comments seem to indicate it's not a planned outage but just the server getting too many hits.

Same for lemmy.one the past few days. I set up a kbin account to keep going. :(

A bit more specific to Lemmy world.

Lemmy.one is down too. That’s where all my subscriptions are :(

I’m talking out of my ass, but software devs rarely think about scalability, backup, and high availability.
