FYI: lemmy.ml - central hub for many communities - has been down 2 hours after 0.18 upgrade EDIT: back up - they say DDoS attack against multiple Lemmy instances

Based on my weeks of code (and operating instance) study on lemmy_server, I strongly suspect that peer servers upgrading to 0.18 is causing a swarm of federation activity that lemmy.ml is getting as peers go down and back up.
Beehaw is suppressing the news about a Lemmy outage, when their /c/Technology community is about rumors in the sidebar!
removed by mod:
The admin of Beehaw told me to post it on Lemmy.ml despite the message being that the server was down.
I quickly found out beehaw was not a good instance for me. This is some great reaffirmation that switching instances was the right call.
I think this is the nice part of lemmy though, many instances exist (or can create your own), and there are plenty with level headed communities/mods/admins, it just takes a bit to find what you're looking for.
Honestly am preferring defederation from beehaw. Missing some good links (for now), sure, but those echo chamber comment sections, no thanks.
