I’ve been seeing lemmy.ml short outages or slowdowns all day. Backend issues? Ddos attack? Any idea? Just wondering. Not a huge issue, keep up the generally good work.
It seems like there was a badly behaved script or possibly an attack.
Wow thanks. AI scraper maybe.

Yes I have seen a lot of this today and also on occasion over the last few months.
I ran a traceroute to the domain while this was occurring and found that the packets were all getting to the destination even though it is quite far from me (coming up on 15 hops) so I expect that the problem is on the domains side, failing to respond in some capacity. Did not have more time to diagnose what the issue may be further though.
I was getting 503 errors from the backend some of the time later yesterday. Things seem good today though.
