There was another attack going on (as you might have noticed). We’re working on a fix. In the meantime, we’ve blocked the listing of comments, so we at least aren’t down, but it did break comments.

Hope to have a fix in the next hour. Stay tuned!

Update OK we’ve implemented a fix, again many thanks to @sunaurus@lemm.ee for his assistance. This will prevent the outages we’ve seen last couple of days. Let’s see what they will come up with next…

    I know this probably isn’t the right place to post this but I’m not sure where the right place is. I haven’t been able to sort comments by old for over a week. Is this a server wide issue or just a me issue? Any advice about how to tell or where I should ask this question is appreciated.

    I’m sure it must be frustrating to have to deal with these attacks, but in a sense they’re a signifier of how popular / successful this instance is.

    Thanks for all the work you do on it, Ruud.

      Also the more attacks there are the more vulnerabilities found and get fixed. I think in the long run it helps the platform to mature and be more stable.
