Hi all, I selfhost private instance of Lemmy for my friends behind Pangolin reverse proxy. I noticed something interesting in the logs; Lemmy specifically gets pinged / tried to access each midnight UTC from what looks like an IP from inside the network. Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea what that could be? I have federation off and private instance on, but maybe it is something from Lemmy network checking if my server is alive? Thank you in advance

    There was a post a few days ago about someone using it and it pulled a tonne of data. I wonder if it also does polls to check if the link is still valid.

      Bitwarden uses the favicon from the first link in the password entry.
      For my selfhosted web pages I use the public info page of the selfhosted page (e.g. openMediaVault) and set detection to [none].
      This way it won’t match against the 3rd party page but I get the icon :)

      BUUUT it should only poll if you activate the program/extension.
      Don’t know why it should poll at midnight
