I set up friendica as my first foray on to the fediverse. It worked well, but as it turns out doesn’t work that well with Lemmy, which was my main usecase. Well whilst trying to fix DNS issues setting up a Lemmy instance instead, I noticed my DNS logs were rather full. My Unbound DNS was getting 40k requests every 10 mins to *.activitypub-troll.cf. I don’t know who or what that is, but blocking it didn’t reduce the activity. At first I thought it was something to do with Lemmy as I’d forgotten I still had Friendica running. Thankfully stopping the Friendica service reduced the DNS request back to normal.
So if you’ve set something up recently, you might want to check if there have been any consequences in your service logs
The dev team are changing things at will but the documentation is pointing users at the latest master version.
There needs to be better change control and a bigger emphasis on supporting people setting up production environments, not just dev ones. Which means nothing should be broken in whatever labelled version of a file they use.
Amen to that. I totally hear you. There are SO many things I think could be done better. I just hope the dev team is ready to embrace the spotlight, and keep up with all the demands without burning out!
