Hey folks!

For the past few hours, lemm.ee has been bombarded with abnormal (almost definitely automated) traffic from a range of different IP addresses. This managed to overwhelm our servers, and we were offline for the past hour or so.

I was in the middle of celebrating my birthday, so response was a bit slow, but I believe we are recovering now, with mitigations in place to try and prevent further issues. Some of you may be inconvenienced by some bot checks when you browse lemm.ee, I am sorry about that, but it’s necessary for now.

Sorry for the issues and I hope you have a nice weekend ahead!
