You may have noticed pixelfed.social is slower than usual, after some investigation, I have discovered that Lemmy is behind the sudden surge in traffic.

While we are implementing Groups, we expected additional load from Lemmy and other Group supported projects

However, I never anticipated how much activity we'd get from Lemmy

To put this in perspective, lemmy.world has sent more activities to us than mastodon.social (to pixelfed.social)

I'm overhauling the inbox again to better handle this!
