how did you fix?
Comment on [PSA] Watch for the antiyanks troll and consider adjusting your rate limits
Sal@mander.xyz 2 days agoHmmm - after changing these settings to what I think are reasonable settings, the server crashed and I am now getting ‘Too many requests’ messages… So, perhaps there is something is not working so well with these rate limits, or I am still misunderstanding their meaning.

Not sure. I had mine set to 20 per 60 for a long time without issue.
Most likely cause would be the Lemmy API service not getting the correct client IP and seeing all API requests come from the reverse proxy’s IP.
Are you sending the client IP in the X-Forwarded-For header? Depending on how your inbound requests are routed, you may have to do that for every reverse proxy in the path.
