I for one would greatly welcome the Quokka community! I have regularly had amazing positive interactions with their people, and think it's great to share the Fedi ocean with them.
Most clients use an API connection which is specific to Lemmy. This is extra work to make scrapers speak that language so no scraper does.
For the moment, a scraper trying to hit any API endpoint would just get a simple malformed request error. With any luck, it stays this way so we don't have to protect API directly.
Welcome to the gathering! Beverages to the left, snacks toward the right. Please mind the cat, she likes getting under feet as a trap for demanding treats.
Hey, I am taking a look to see if I can figure out what might have happened.
Can you DM me the email you used, or at least mention the domain part of the email address you signed up with? I will try to track the logs and email history.
Ahoy! I've wrangled a few more IP ranges to contain the Tencent monsters into their Iocaine cages.
Knocking on the proverbial wood here, but we've leveled out a bit for about 20 minutes and I think we're back to normal. I'll be keeping eye for a bit just in case.
There's flags set in the torrent tracker that might be getting in the way here in combination with the port issue.
There might be a seed, but he can't forward ports.
The data getting updated from "last seen" is the tracker telling your client a check in happened from a seeder I believe.
Some trackers also won't play nice and tell the seeder about you properly if your client has a history of leeching perhaps. Enforcement of ratio etc.
You could try another client perhaps, but if multiple behave the same then you are not going to get anywhere. Perhaps try getting a temporary vps to torrent into and then pull from there. Seed boxes can solve many issues, just be mindful of cost over time.
What if somewhere a Ukrainian woman who is known positive is intentionally out banging every Russian soldier she can find as a form of long term attack?
