Thanks, looks like I’ve got that.
FWIW, in my case, increasing the value for message
in the rate_limit
section of lemmy.hjson
as well as removing the limit_req_zone
parameter in the nginx config did the trick for yesterday’s traffic burst. I’ll probably put them back (or at least reduce them to saner values) once the spike dies down a bit.
Ah thanks for the link! I was about to ask anyway. Actually the reason I even discovered this thread in the first place is that I came here looking for the thread you posted a few days ago about federation testing…then I saw this thread, replied, and forgot why I came here :D
