Umm, I think you used up your quota at Vercel.
402: DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED
This deployment has been disabled, as the fair use policy guidelines have been exceeded.
Yeah I just saw it. Good God, apparently people really enjoyed playing with it.
Sounds like you need to use some caching
That might be a solution, but I think I might get there just by optimizing what's already there. I started this yesterday and it was to be a one afternoon project, mostly for personal use. I never built anything this quickly and some aspects where definitely rushed.
More importantly, I wasn't aware Vercel had bandwith limits. I guess I've fucked around and found out.
That's what she said.
Nice one!
This tool is great! Thanks for creating it and making it public.
Also, is this the first Lemmy Hug of Death? If so, congrats, I think?
Not sure if it's the first but it's definitely a first for me. In retrospect I could have written it way better, the logic was a bit rushed, but it should be fixed now.
I love the amount of support I've been getting from this and other threads, thank you for using my site.
Doesn't support kbin :(
Yeah sorry about that, I couldn't find a list of instances that also included kbin ones. The best I could find was the awesome-lemmy-instances repo, which as the name suggests is strictly Lemmy.
If you have a list that includes kbin I'll be happy to add support for it.
There's this one, but it only includes kbin instances
Thank you. Actually that list is a bit hard to interact with, but I've found this API and it works great. I'll be adding kbin support in the next couple days.
Update: apparently kbin doesn't support this kind of operation. In other words there's no way of knowing what instances a kbin instance is federated with. I'm sorry but this really isn't my fault. I'll see if I can add it later on, once the kbin devs finish working on this feature.
fedi-block-api already existed and works with any fediverse instance, not only Lemmy.
In my experience, the data on there is significantly outdated/incorrect. The easy way to check is the domain reverse lookup- pick any instance (e.g. sopuli.xyz) and enter it into the reverse lookup. Then compare that to the official published list at sopuli.xyz/instances.
As of right now, FBA lists 9, while the official list is 15. The lists are significantly different as well, with each having multiple entries that are not on the other.
I have no idea how it works under the hood, but I guess there is some caching given how fast results are retrieved.
Good to know. Feel free to use that if you prefer it, the only reason why I made this was because I wasn't aware of the existence any other similar tool.
Today I learned that one of the biggest Spanish instances, Mujico, apparently doesn't federate with anyone else. Ah well

Cool I need to bookmark this.
The greatest of honours, thank you.
Interesting. Guess, dmz.social defedered my instance, for... unknown reasons.
Never even knew that instance existed.
I am disappointed in you!
LemmyOnline gave your instance a guarantee, and then you defederated it!
Lmao. This is the kind of drama I built this for, let's have a look at everyone's dirty laundry :)
Honestly, kind of surprised my instance was only defederated twice. Not, sure what I expected, but.. /shrugs.
Dracula ๐ฆนโโ๏ธ
Awesome stuff. Thanks!
What does returning errors mean? I had a main account that I tried migrating away from lemmy.world, only to have it return errors from lemmy.world. I can't see two thirds of the comments I can from this programming.dev account.
For some reason when I query programming.dev, as well as a couple other instances from my Vercel deployement I get 403s "Forbidden" errors. Not really sure why, it works when I run it from localhost? Maybe them or their provider have somehow blocked request from Vercel because they are afraid of bots? It's anyone's guess really.
This site is built on top of the lemmy-js-client, which is maintained by the Lemmy developers, unfortunately there isn't any API documentation to look at, so for those times when the JS client doesn't work it's very hard for me to debug it and troubleshoot it.
BTW you can look at these errors yourself in your browser's "network" tab, all errors return 500s. In the request body you can see the queried URL, in the response you can see the error message. Sometimes it's "Forbidden", some other time it's a timeout (possibly due to the instance being offline or severely overloaded).
