Hi, I am able to access feddit.org from my wifi, but connecting via my mobile data fails. Is feddit.org doing geoblocking or blocking certain IP ranges? It’s negatively impacting the lemmy experience for me hugely, as a lot of images in my feed do not load, and I imagine it’s affecting others as well.
Location: Malaysia
hello,
we’re currently working on migrating to new infrastructure (same hardware, new deployment setup) that will allow us to separate IP blocks for feddit.org from those used by the rest of the fediverse foundation.
we currently have certain bad reputation and some asian networks blocked due to a large amount of malicious traffic, which is a major problem for other fediverse foundation services, partially resulting in service outages before these blocks were implemented.
unfortunately this will still take some time for the migration to be completed.
if you are being blocked while using a residential or mobile internet connection outside of asia or a static non-VPN IP please let us know your IP and we will review your individual case. you can send us an email to admin @ domain of this instance or send a lemmy pm to @BurningTurtle@feddit.org or me and we’ll forward this internally.
Thanks! I don’t think there’s much that can be done as my Asian mobile IP is dynamic. Hopefully the migration happens soon and resolves the issue. Is there an expected timeline?
no specific timeline currently unfortunately, it depends on when we have spare time to progress with this
That’s unfortunate, given how many people this is affecting. Thanks for the info.
