Unclear reason, slrpnk.net is also effected.

Edit: Doesn’t seem like an active attack, but rather a database overload issue caused by someone deleting their old and previously very active account, and those deletion requests being federated out to other instances as well. At least that seems the most likely theory right now.

Edit: seems to be mostly resolved, but I hope there will be a bug fix to prevent this from happening again.

      Lemmy is sadly not very well tested and trips over such edge cases all the time.
