[RESOLVED__FINAL2.docx] wefwef.app is getting rate limited by lemmy.world

EDIT: This has been resolved! Thanks @[email protected] 💙

Looks like we gotten past one rate limit but we've hit another / (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

This should be fully resolved on 0.8.1. Please update.

Y'all love the https://wefwef.app so much that it's getting rate limited by https://lemmy.world. That's why you're probably getting errors.

I'm talking to get the limited boosted, but in the meantime:

  1. Self-host!
  2. Use a community deployment, and/or host one! There's only one right now. (Note: Make sure you trust the server admin.)
  3. Temporarily use a lemmy account from another instance (wefwef has multi account support!)

What's the current technical plan to alleviate this? Some kind of multi-node setup behind wefwef.app? Less strict rate limiting by lemmy.world for your endpoint?

I‘d love to self-host, but I have no idea how. What are the server requirements? Is a Raspberry Pi sufficient?

I just setup my own self hosted with docker so that is at least one less user hammering the site. :)

I fail at following the two extremely simple steps posted at https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef#prebuilt

This is what I get (running on some recent version of Ubuntu Linux on a machine in my garage):

$ docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest (...) Status: Downloaded newer image for ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest $ sudo docker run --rm -it -p 5314:5314 wefwef Unable to find image 'wefwef:latest' locally docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for wefwef, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied. See 'docker run --help'. $

I had this issue and I used this command and it worked.

docker run --rm -it -p 5314:5314 ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

I did it with Portainer, it's very easy. Just create a new container, add ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest as image source and publish port 5413.

Interesting, I didn't realize the app sent requests server side. I thought it was more locally running.

As to selfhosting, I have created an Unraid CA template and submitted it. I hope it will be in the CA store shortly!

Yes it works perfectly fine and fast with feddit.uk (another lemmy instance based in the UK).

This possibly seems to be happening again, no issues with an account from another instance but Lemmy.world account doesn’t load comments, posts and sometimes says that my account doesn’t exist.

Oh, was wondering why wefwef was almost unusable. Its my favorite Lemmy app. Thanks for the update!

When I look at this thread from my account on programming.dev it's outdated by 1 day compared to when I view it via my account on lemmy.world.

Hrmmm
