As some of you may have noticed, monero.town was only available for people signed into a Lemmy mobile app for the past few days.

It looks like the Lemmy software had a bug that was exploited to DoS instances which of course happened on evening #1 of Monerokon. In an attempt to fix this DoS issue, I upgraded to Lemmy version 18 which required additional, badly documented changes to the config. Since I didn’t have a laptop with me, there wasn’t all that much I could do besides the initial analysis. That is why it took until today for me to fix the issue. I hope this wasn’t too big of an inconvenience to anyone 😅

Lemmy is still very new software and these are some of the growing pains. Please be reassured that I won’t randomly abandon monero.town and will do my very best to never have to do another migration like house->town again.

    Great to see our town back up. I was forced to go to reddit a couple of time during the outage 🤮️

    Welcome back, was nice to meet all of you guys on MoneroKon and I wouldn’t have time anyway to look into the internets due to the full schedule…

      Perhaps you need to select the “undetermined” language? If you are trying to upload images, they need to be below 1 Mb.

        i can see that language, but it seems to de-select when i select it, might be because of ibrewolf
