Every time I try to access this community, ther’s some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the status page, it’s almost all orange/red.
The problem aren’t DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection.
Admin/mods, why don’t you move this community to a different server instance?
I’m not accusing anybody, I know that maintain a server can be a challenging sometimes, I just want to enjoy this community!
Please!

Cloudflare has DDoS protection but it can’t stop everything 100% of the time. According to the admins, the attackers are very familiar with how lemmy works and are using this knowledge to overwhelm resources. This isn’t just a simple script kiddy or bonnet for hire but likely points to someone that has worked within the lemmy community.
