I think many of you may have seen this very unpleasant ‘person’ that kept spamming some hateful content in multiple communities.

The account has been purged along with all posts. Well keep a close eye!

Sorry about that, this place should be a friendly platform for anyone

Meow, meow,

Few days ago I started working on a simple Wiki where I want to 'collect' all documentation on setting up Fediverse services and everything around it in one place.

Still adding new stuff on a daily basis. Hopefully it will be helpful to someone

For now I've setup a "mobile" client for Lemmy instances on https://m.geddit.social

You can find the source code here: https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef

Lemmy kept running out of memory and SWAP on v0.18.1-RC9

Even with 1 container and Postgres limited it would crash after x hours because it ran our of memory. Just updated and not keeping an eye out so it won't happen again

The past few days Geddit was not super stable and crashed every few hours.

It took some testing and input from other admins to create a more optimal setting for the instance!

The platform should be a lot more stable now

It took a little while but the domain has finally been cleared with Maigun from the recent spam attack.

We now send confirm mails from our hostname again, cheers!

When upgrading Geddit to the latest Lemmy release I took some tips from @ruud@lemmy.world for a better infrastructure to prepare for future people joining (maybe)!

We use Docker for running Lemmy and now have multiple containers for each serice to speed up the platform.

• Lemmy (backend) has now 4 containers
• Lemmy UI (front end) has now 3 containers

Everything is balanced with a nginx proxy!

The service should work as expected again but please let me know if you find anything that doesn't work (fully).

After upgrading Geddit.social to Lemmy v0.18 the whole platform broke..

After many hours of editing configs, debugging and trying out various fixes a little database query to remove the "site icon" fixed it and now are back online!

I'll keep an eye out on further issues..

Just ran the spam account removal script on our database and it seems most of the spam accounts have been removed now.

Hi all!

As many of you know an important feature has unfortunately been removed in the latest release of the Lemmy software, the captcha.

The argument for this was that it doesn’t stop spam bots since some can solve captchas also. And I do concur that indeed some bots can do this, still many of the bot software out there cannot however.

The developers of Lemmy also acknowledged this and they are working on adding back the captcha in version 0.18.1 so we will withhold updates until that release.

Another important features on batteling the current spam waves are email validation and a lower rate limit number for signups. This can all be managed from the Lemmy admin interface 👌🏻

I hope I informed you on this and if you have questions please do ask in the comments♥️

As you can see, there is a massive spam wave going on on Lemmey based instances.

This can be avoided by enabling CAPTCHA with signup and also LIMIT the registers per X seconds!

Currently the accounts are idle but this can change soon.. Please take action NOW!
