It's been a while since I've made these type of posts but there'll be a server maintenance that will (hopefully) address the recent Lemmy-UI problems.

edit: I'm going to cancel this because the problem has been solved by blocking excessive crawling/scraping bots. No more crashing and zombie processes.

Update: I'll postpone this for a week as it seems like the issue comes from a Chinese datacenter in Singapore that's scraping the site very aggressively.

I'll block the IP range and see if that solves the problem.

May I suggest https://www.crowdsec.net/ for those pesky scrappers? I've been using their free service for about 3 years on my personal server and it's very good for dealing with these kind of problems.

Thanks! I've used this before but decided not to set it up for this server because of Fediverse things. I'm afraid I might break federation with it. But I'll see if I can work around that.

Good luck.
