edit: Lemmy.ml updated and seems to have gone down. We're going to wait and see what the outage was caused by and then proceed from there.
edit 2: lemmy was down due to a ddos attack. We will upgrade at 22:00 UTC
edit 3: we had issues with the email setup getting overridden again. If you tried to sign up in the past 8 hours please try to just log in. If you can't, please message me (discord, matrix, or mastodon)

I apologize for the stability issues everyone.
People found an exploit and are using it to DDOS several lemmy instances. https://lemmy.ml/comment/909960
