Anyone heard of them being DDOS'd? This certainly sounds like ongoing DDOS and protections kicking in (assuming that by "verify my account" you mean "having to solve a captcha").

By that, I mean that I can't check my inbox or look at my profile, only my feed. It doesn't bring up any captchas.

Yeah same with me.

[–] favrion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Odd.

Atleast now we know that it's not user specific.

I noticed Jerboa saying something about my account being verified on lemmy.world in between 502s and other network errors. I've never seen that before, but looks like it's not exclusive to you.

As long as it's universal it's... better? lol

As a potential workaround, have a look at a comment I made a while back in a similar context: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/1603292

I am also in nine other instances. But I have some communities on this instance that I don't know how to move into other instances in case this one goes kaput.

You might want to set-up a backup community on another instance. Then you make a sticky on your current community: if LW goes down, we meet there.

I may do that.
