Not active on Lemmy any longer. If you send me a DM, I won’t see it. Sorry!

sunaurus@lemm.eeto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•[NO LONGER ACTIVE] Announcing an April charity event!1·7 months agoWhat I mean is that some posters have a bunch of alts on different instances, and if they get awards split between their accounts, then they’ll be at a bit of a disadvantage 😄
sunaurus@lemm.eeto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•[NO LONGER ACTIVE] Announcing an April charity event!4·7 months agoThis is cool!
Any rules for alts? Can people “claim” alt accounts to sum up their votes?
Whenever you give your free time and energy to build something open source for the world, there are always some people who say “why aren’t you giving me 10x more, you lazy dev” 😅
Could I ask you to try again with the app and let me know if it’s working for you now?
Hey, sorry for the issues, please see my comment here for explanation: https://lemm.ee/post/57870550/18964440

Hey, for the past few weeks, we have been tuning different rate limits and other bot prevention mechanisms on lemm.ee. We have had a huge increase in traffic lately, as well as a couple of instances of what was effectively a DDoS.
In other words, the problems likely have nothing to do with your app or different versions, and everything to do with our own measures.
For the mark post as read endpoint, I recently made the rate limit a bit more relaxed, so hopefully users won’t see issues there anymore. OTOH, we are also presenting a Cloudflare challenge for some IP ranges currently, which may inadvertently affect legit users. This was necessary to mitigate a recent DDoS, but we will continue tuning and hopefully restore things to normal for legit users soon.
Definitely not 😄
Hey, there isn’t any default community right now. There are a few different databases that track graphs of such things, for example, fedidb.org.
Thank you very much for the support!
Our infrastructure costs are currently quite stable at around 200€ per month, and considering that the instance is right now quite decently supporting nearly 6000 monthly active users, you could say that you are indeed relatively contributing a ton - you are effectively covering server costs for 60 people!
The fact that it’s a monthly amount is particularly great, because with recurring income, we will get advanced warning if there is danger of funds starting to run low.
We had a 2-3 really huge days in 2023, but other than those, it seems like the growth so far in March is definitely outpacing our initial wave of new users in 2023.

sunaurus@lemm.eeto Meta (lemm.ee)@lemm.ee•[Solved] Potential email verification issue due to a registration influx following a post promoting Lemm.ee on /r/BuyFromEu8·8 months agoIt’s the correct error code (the client is sending a bad request - it’s an already used token), the problem is just that Lemmy UI doesn’t really display a useful error page to the user.

It basically means “e-mail already verified”.
Can you share the exact error you are getting as well?
It seems to go through for me:
Could you upload an example image which does not work somewhere else and share it with me so I can try to reproduce the issue?
Our servers are currently in Finland, but this is subject to change if necessary for financial/technical reasons. We’ve also used German servers in the past for example. In general we’re definitely staying in the EU, though.
Basically, yes!
For the backend: our traffic is load balanced between multiple servers, so I can just spin up a new server with the latest version of Lemmy, add it to the load balancer, and then start taking down the servers with older versions. That way, there is no disruption at all for users, because there is always a server available to handle incoming traffic. The only requirement for this is that the new version of Lemmy can’t have database migrations which break the old running servers.
For lemmy-ui: it’s a bit more complicated, because even with a load balancer, it’s still possible that one user making multiple sequential requests can end up getting responses from different servers. This is problematic, because during an upgrade, files from the new version are not available on the old servers, and vice versa. Fortunately, there are many ways to solve this problem, for lemm.ee, the solution I use is to just always serve lemmy-ui files from object storage, for all versions. In other words, after I upload lemmy-ui files for a new version, these will immediately also be available on old servers.
Our servers are all hosted in Finland indeed, but we use Cloudflare for DDoS protection etc. Clients/bots/scripts/etc (like FediDB) don’t see our server IP addresses directly, they see Cloudflare IP addresses. FediDB uses the IP address it sees to assume what country the server is in.
The same is true for a bunch of other Lemmy servers as well - a lot of the ones FediDB shows as “United States” are actually hosted in Europe (or elsewhere).
