Thanks for the heads up! It is thankfully a false positive from another server that tripped the CSAM scanner. It shouldn’t take down all the images though, I guess that’s the risk of using it with the proxy. Pros and cons!
Just waiting on Cloudflare to resolve now, images should be back up shortly.

Honestly, country is gripped by clowns.
Would not be at all surprised to find the commissioner has shares or a financial interest in Age Verification companies.
- Comment on Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told 1 week ago:
Giving adults free access to high quality porn in exchange for stopping children using VPNs would probably be fairly effective.
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 1 week ago:
My response wasn’t regarding the geoblock, but to the above poster saying we block VPNs (which isn’t true)
But just so you’re aware, we dont geoblock federation traffic and all our posts, comments etc are federated without issue.
The only thing geoblocked is the UIs, so UK visitors can’t access the UI.
If your client tries to direct you to lemmy.zip rather than the crossposted article, then that client isn’t working properly and you should log a bug. Like any crosspost, the content federates fine.
Hope that clears it up for you.

Sorry but your posts are FUD. You’re trying to equate people misusing tlds (which happens across many other tlds) as somehow lemmy.zip is “bad” instance that should be avoided.
Not only is that not true, you are also purposely misunderstanding how federation works as if youre somehow safer not interacting with lemmy.zip. Again, not remotely true.
If you want to block .zip TLDs you go for it, no one is stopping you, but you may as well block .com TLDs while you’re at it as that’s where most scams take place.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Just to clear up, you aren’t interacting with lemmy.zip communities directly from your instance. You never directly interface with lemmy.zip, instead the servers send copies of posts and comments between eachother.
There is no risk from lemmy.zip (obviously) - its a lemmy instance that’s been around over 2 years and is perfectly legitimate. There’s just as much risk from every other tld where people intentionally misspell company names or try to insert similar looking characters. Practice basic Internet security (i.e. dont click on links you aren’t expecting) and you’re pretty much covered.
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 1 week ago:
We dont actually block VPNs, but we do block ASNs where we get abuse traffic. Just so happens that Proton VPNs servers in France are on that ASN.

Damn this looks a lot like Objects in Space (which was rudely abandoned in early access)
- Comment on Lemmy.zip seems down for me. 1 week ago:
The site is up (as you can see by using a vpn!) - if its timing out and youre not seeing anything from cloudflare then its likely something else in your connection preventing you from accessing the site. ISP related maybe?
Might also be worth clearing cache or using a private browser tab to check its not something in the browser

Thanks, appreciate it 😊

Thank you! I’ve learnt so much doing this, it’s wild to me that we can pull so much traffic!

- Comment on What is piefed? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t use it currently (except on one of the front ends we use as a test) but I believe the easiest way would be to use nginx to separate the paths you want to pass traffic to, so it doesnt apply to api traffic etc, only the ui. I use traefik for piefed so I don’t know how it integrates in there yet, but I know a few people have got it working for lemmy by using the nginx paths.
There is also go-away as an alternative option.
I have made extensive use of cloudflares challenges too

There’s only one solution - you’ll have to move countries 😉

Have spun this up on blorp.lemmy.zip and blorp.piefed.zip :)

Hey, this should be fixed now! I think it’ll be linked to lemmy.zip/post/43477994
- Comment on Lemmy.zip Server Update July 2025 1 month ago:
We’re at about 1000 now, looks like a lot we’re waiting for .ee to shutdown. I guess quite a few went to piefed too

Enabling the proxy has massively helped to reduce our storage usage. There is some pict-rs retention stuff you can enable too if you haven’t already.
But yes Lemmy is storage hungry :)

It is something isn’t it!
Having Gazby be able to write all the code and get everything set up so we could see what was causing the issues has been amazing, and if we get some naughty traffic again we can deal with it much faster!

Im 90% sure that drop is related to @gazby@lemmy.zip doing some vacuuming
