It took 10 hours but the timelines finally caught up. @Claire and I identified a few performance issues that only become evident once there's a ton of activity.

@Gargron @Claire what were the more egregious ones? I'm curious.

@Gargron @Claire Huge πŸ• to all worked on this. Thank you!!

@Gargron @Claire β€œthe timelines finally caught up” sounds cataclysmic.

I can't believe @janboehm actually signed up in the meantime. Hi! I like your music! Sorry the website was slow today. :cate:

Roh πŸ‘»

@Gargron @janboehm well, close the new registration for a moment. Don't make people thinks mastodon is very slow.

It also help the user more distributed.

@Gargron
There needs to be an instance specifically for musicians in general - on joinmastodon.org there are 2 music-related instances but one is for collectors and the other just metal-heads...

Please repost this, or you can also reply and write your instance address.

Newcomer, a lot of instances you can join on. The main server is currently slow because a lot of new user registration.

This kind of success is as exciting as it is terrifying. Nobody prepares you for this. Every moment I am second guessing if I’m doing everything I can with the given situation.

cybik :deifirev:

@Gargron IMO that just means you're doing something right.

@Gargron you're doing great with the flood. Thank you!

@Gargron faut parler en français monsieur c'est ça la révolution, pas La Pen

@Gargron Thank you and everyone else who's worked on this so very much though. It is a relief to so many people.

@Gargron thanks to this project people have options. πŸ‘

The onboarding experience is quite rough on the appside when the toots are empty and you follow no-one.

Local & Federated views would help a lot in this regard.

@Gargron Thank you for your work. You're doing a great job.

Tired but ambitious

@Gargron congrats on the massive influx of new users! Hoping to be a contributor in the near future.

@Gargron Thanks for everything you're doing, Eugen.

@Gargron We appreciate all the hard work and continued investment over these past few years!

@Gargron thanks ! Will definitely donate once my paycheck hits at the end of the month ;)

@Gargron Really appreciate your dedication but do make sure you take care of yourself.

@Gargron To quote a critically acclaimed piece of cinema,

@Gargron You're doing great! Thanks for the effort.

cameronflynn

@Gargron Only so many priorities one can manage within a given timeframe and it seems you're doing awesome. Thank you!

Justin

@Gargron You’re doing great. You’ve got this. Thank you!

Blake Reilly | Ekyllier

@Gargron mate, just keep doing whatever you're doing. Mastodon is popping off rn

MissingANNo

@Gargron you do what you can and let the community help pick up the slack. This shows you and the community behind Mastodon have a good project for others to turn to.

Dred

@Gargron this is historic! We are all very excited about this and thankful for all the hard work to make this possible! :]

benedict :psyduck:

@Gargron I’m more than happy weathering the storm of growing pains if people like you are as hardworking as you seem to be! More people are rooting for you than not!

Gomphotherium

@gargron You are doing a great job! I imagine it to be a mix of huge happiness/exitement but with anxiousness. This must be hard and will ease in some time I think. You will look back proudly!
I appreciate your work and the work of the other admins!

Darrel J Delfin

@Gargron You're doing great! πŸ‘
Thank you for all your hard work!

PHANT0MSN4KE

@Gargron DONT forget to enjoy it even though there is stress.

OndΕ™ej PokornΓ½

@Gargron One thing I'd appreciate is updating the translations on joinmastodon.org ... People are translating it but it's not getting pushed to the live site.

Chloeg

@Gargron Thank you so much for all the work you’ve put in on this. When things move really quickly and you don’t know if you’re doing the right thing, be guided by your own principals. Sometimes your brain has to ask your heart β€œis this the right thing to do?” And be guided by what feels right. You’ll be good.

benjymous

@Gargron Are you publishing traffic stats anywhere? Would be fascinating to see the ebbs and flows!

@Gargron you're doing great, everything works.

@Gargron Alter, hast du das echt um 4 Uhr morgens getrΓΆtet?

Da bist schlecht fΓΌr mein Programmiererimage. Ich schlafe nachts noch immer lieber :)

@Gargron i think the most of the bird-site-refugees would love a mastodon-fail-whale variety every now and then.... So no sweat!

Katrien Vermeulen

@Gargron Thank you for this πŸ™ beautiful platform, please don't sell it to the highest bidding billionaires...

McHollander β˜‘οΈ | Alarmist

@Gargron Hang in there. This must be very stressful but you made it happen so far.

MelvinPhaser

@Gargron Looking forward to great stuff happening to this platform in the future!

oldjinx

@Gargron Your doing fine, nothings on fire and everyone's enjoying themselves.

activenode

@Gargron I can relate. When I was younger I had a music streaming service called StreamDrag. It was cool, had a few thousand users.

Then mashable.com featured it. And I wasn't prepared for it.

And back then there was no K8s or whatever to drag a slider for more power.

I can relate :)

But apparently, at this moment, everythings working fine.

Maria Liv

@Gargron I am sure your doing a great job. I have a wish though.

Is it possible to close out the Russian bots from this platform? Or better yet, all bots? Because the angry hateful bot comments and stalkers was a really painful experience on Twitter.

If Mastodon could be a lighter place for us who didn't like the dark side of Twitter, I think it would be awesome. Thank you so much! πŸ’—

@Gargron I originally signed up in 2019, but forgot about it since then. It is quieter here than on the bird app, but over the last couple of days there has been enough activity that it's engaging and makes me come back. I guess that is a key threshold for most users. As a developer, I'm very interested to see how this will scale. Fingers crossed!

Prinz / Homescreen

@Gargron @janboehm May i get cool suggestions of accounts and tweets from new account

Lev

@Gargron @janboehm so far the slowness has been kind of charming

Steve

@Gargron @Claire Thanks for accommodating us newcomers!

Maybe I'm missing the bigger picture, but the need to select a specific community when signing up introduced friction to my onboarding... I get that the whole concept is federated accounts, but even understanding the principle I almost gave up after browsing through a few dozen options.

Dino :tux:

@Gargron @Claire Thank you so much for your outstanding work and time you put into this project. Make social media great again!

Leo Herzog

@Gargron Are you restricting new signups on mastodon.social? I'm getting 403 errors in the app when trying to create a new account.

nerk

@Gargron @Claire nice! I'm happy to be here :) now just gotta figure it out

smeg

@Gargron @Claire My instance's local timeline has been broken since mid-March and I don't know how to fix it :(

arialdo

@Gargron @Claire
Is there any blog where you share the technical details behind this project and its challenges? I'd love to follow.

Leonardo Di Ottio

@Gargron @Claire Great, thanks for all your work on this!

Are these improvements in the code that other instances will automatically get in a future update? Or does it involve server tuning that admins need to put effort in?

phryk 🏴

@Gargron @Claire Are you planning to write a postmortem for other admins? Because that'd be swell.
