Monero.Town is back (and on Lemmy v18) 🎉

As some of you may have noticed, monero.town was only available for people signed into a Lemmy mobile app for the past few days.

It looks like the Lemmy software had a bug that was exploited to DoS instances which of course happened on evening #1 of Monerokon. In an attempt to fix this DoS issue, I upgraded to Lemmy version 18 which required additional, badly documented changes to the config. Since I didn't have a laptop with me, there wasn't all that much I could do besides the initial analysis. That is why it took until today for me to fix the issue. I hope this wasn't too big of an inconvenience to anyone 😅

Lemmy is still very new software and these are some of the growing pains. Please be reassured that I won't randomly abandon monero.town and will do my very best to never have to do another migration like house->town again.
