Benefit of using Cloudflare CDN:
Commenting and editing took about 0.5 seconds!
Also, ping is now from 200-300 miliseconds to just between 50 and 60 (depending on your ISP):
The bugs in Lemmy are such that you don't even need to touch a server for it to be vulnerable. Cloudflare does not defend against such mistakes. Other servers can trigger deep PostgreSQL logic problems within Lemmy. Growing pains, a lot of the federation code was never tested, and today's crash is due to a logic issue with lemmy_server mistakenly updating 1700 servers it knows of through federation for a delete instead of the 1 local server.
