Hi,

We had a DDOS attack against old.lemmy.today which overloaded the entire server for about 20 minutes. I had to turn off old.lemmy.today temporarily and will look through logs and probably block more chinese ip ranges, since thats where it came from.

Always something to do. :) Keeping this as sticky for a while to inform everyone.

Edit: I added more ip blocks for Chinese networks and hopefully it will keep future bots away. Bringing up the old.lemmy.today user interface again…

Edit 2: Had to take it down again due to massive bot scraping. Currently down.

Edit 3: Decided to require login for old.lemmy.today instead of using anubis.

    I know of the lemmy keyboard navigation addon that reimplements this feature for lemmy-ui and mlmym. I haven’t tested it myself though, and it’s been last updated over a year ago, so I don’t know if it still works. I have thought about including the feature directly in mlmym (could actually make use of the keyboard navigation setting that lemmy already has to toggle it), but if I do, that’ll only happen after I’m done with the refactor for the v4 API. So it will probably take a while 😅

    edit: opened an issue for it (#27) so I don’t forget
