I could use some #FediHelp with some website traffic weirdness I have encountered.
I use a #WordPress blog with the #ActivityPub plugin. This means that I get #Fediverse -based requests that look like this in the #Apache logs:
"POST /wp-json/activitypub/1.0/actors/1/inbox HTTP/1.1"
So far, so unspectacular. In the latest logs - spanning from 20/Nov/2025:01:49:32 to 21/Nov/2025:05:49:47 - I've had 2046 such requests. Most of these are one-time affairs.
However, 1099 of these requests are from mastodon.sdf.org , which is very suspicious. They are very evenly spread, too - a new request comes every minute or two.
This instance is on #Mastodon 4.1.25. Does this version have a known bug where it sends the same request over and over again?

@juergen_hubert Thank you for this, can you confirm that they're cleared?

@SDF I'm currently traveling, so I can't do any kind of in-depth analysis. But this particular request seems to have stopped two hours ago or so.
