    Japanese Misskey/Mastodon servers have also been spammed by the exact same thing since about 15 hours ago, and it’s still going. I guess they’re targeting Lemmy as well now, damn…

      masto admin here. my instances are also getting hammered from external traffic.

      The annoying thing is, I don’t think that masto has any good tools to check which instances are causing the traffic. Especially as it’s getting rerouted through a relay in my case

        I am seeing increase in pict-rs ram consumption although I’m basically alone in my instance. Any ideas what the reason could be? (edit: since around the same time I saw this stuff happening)
