Can you help me deal with the bots?
Can you help me deal with the bots?
Trying to purge them and set up with Lemmy Ansible, I've disabled signups without admin approval for now.
I see a postgres container and a password but I'm not very familiar with postgres, I tried psql but can't get access
Edit: Also anyone who's de-federated with us, please reconsider. We're a small server with active admin and will get a handle on this, I promise! We had an easy process to sign up for a few days while I got my users over and forgot to turn it off
Edit2: Looking much more healthy now, I will put the commands I've used in a comment below

Hey there! Thank you for reaching out. I'll definitely not block your instance then. Regarding postgres, first login to the postgres container with
docker exec -it containername busybox /bin/shYou can get the container name by running
docker ps. Once inside login to psql console withpsql -U lemmyI've written this from memory, but it should be very similar if not the same.
EDIT: Consider saving the usernames and details of the bots that signed up. We might be able to use that for some analysis.
Yup I've got them, luckily 5 or more repeating numbers in their email pretty much identified 99% of them. Would you like me to send the CSV somewhere? 27k+ bots
It's be interesting to see where they are coming from, do you have up and user agents in the logs at all?
I don't unfortunately, I deliberately don't log that due to some of the sensitive stuff on my own instance (we're China based)
