mastodon.online is currently experiencing delays in the processing queue and general slowness due to much increased demand. I am working on increasing capacity. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@Gargron I am very grateful for your hard work here in welcoming all of us new users. Thank you so much!

@Gargron increased demand is good :D I like that people are moving over

@Gargron the solution is to say "go somewhere else and let the federated thing be federated"

@Gargron growth is good! Excited to see Mastodon become the new social networking standard soon…

Prince Cooper

@Gargron Mastadon shall grow forever, because of Elon's Twitter acquisition.

@Gargron

You're doing a great job! Thank you so much! ❤

@Gargron Thanks for letting us know. The communication on this platform has been awesome. Danke, danke, danke!🙂

Gareth

@Gargron No worries. I’m a newbie here and looking forward to using this 👍

Ignis Incendio :autism:

I'll recommend people try to find other instances! Think; what are you going to mainly post on your account? General chat, some fandom, some specific interests? Then try that :D

I heard the sweet spot is 500 to 5000 people. The #Fediverse is stronger with smaller, more servers.

(Yes I know I am contradicting what I said literally just yesterday xD I'm still learning!)

@Gargron good luck on fixing all that, I fully support your initiative and I’m happy I found out today about Mastodon!

Heidi Li Feldman

@Gargron Thank you for all the work you are doing to accommodate all the #newcomers. #Mastodon feels like a fresh, interesting, exciting venue. Different from a bird app replacement in intriguing, healthy ways.

@Gargron I Eugene, why can’t I post something with a picture? The publish button stays dimmed when I upload a picture.

Emerald Eel

@Gargron I've noticed some slowdown here and there, and I'm unable to upload any images as it loads indefinitely. I have confidence you'll do great work improving the quality of mastodon.online! :mastodon:

@Gargron
Good luck, you are in for a hard few months.

Karen Hill

Joel Pomales

@Gargron where can one donate? I think this will grow!

3dcandy

@Gargron cos idiot boy Musk bought Twitter ;)

AmiW Streetart 🍃

@Gargron If you run a street art account with photos here you are now practically dead while everyone else gets to meet great new people. No upload possible. It's not slower, no interaction at all anymore without 30 attempts. i could cry. I hope the problem is solved soon.

Arman

@Gargron Honestly a great problem to have 😄

Archit

You should allow a search bar option for server discovery on joinmastodon.org @Gargron

George Wüst

@Gargron dus ik kan niet zoeken naar namen en zo snel de mensen vinden die ik op twitter volgde?

George Wüst

@Gargron I am only interested in say two or three people , how can I find them in this huge pile of mastodon users? Certainly not by "browsing"!?

Jeff Jarvis

@Gargron Most understandable. Thanks for being here for us migrants.

Patrick Mougin

@Gargron I ended up transferring from online to social because it was just so slooooow!

Eugen Rochko

Upgraded capacity, it's chewing through the processing queue now, should catch up soon. Slowness seems to have subsided too. That's another 12-hour workday done. 🥲

Christiane

@Gargron danke, läuft doch schon wieder ganz gut.
Erhol dich gut 🤗

Longplay Games 🎮

@Gargron Thank you so much for your work! As I commented on the patreon, I hope the joinmastodon changes helped.

Anwaltsgelaber

@Gargron starke Arbeit bisher aber wichtig: auch mal ne Pause gönnen ;)

Carsten Wawer

@Gargron Good Job! Don't get why people dont host their own instances.

Catalina_Gearbox

@Gargron yeah your going to need to buy more space and severs

zunda

@Gargron Thank you! I hope you'll have a good rest now :)

Phil Rees

@Gargron Thanks. I really appreciate the work you're doing. Excited to see the growth.

tinybug

@Gargron is there a tutorial on the features and how to use this app. I come from Twitter in peace

Comics Outta Context

@Gargron among the new members making you work unfortunately, but you’re doing great. I’m seeing the difference.

Pack

@Gargron Great work! I just started so I chipped into the patreon to help cover the additional load, hope other new folks can do the same, this place is worth it!

David A. Rush, M.Eng.

@Gargron Thanks! A friend who just joined got their conf email almost immediately.

laus

@Gargron I hear that from other mastoadmins too, isn’t there something one could do about this in terms of automation? Thinking about helping and getting involved.

Eugen Rochko

@zauberlaus Automation is possible, for example with Kubernetes, however I do not currently use it.

Thorsten

@Gargron

Let's wait a couple of weeks. I am a total open source-, open standard- and open platform-fan. But let's wait if this is a trend or just a hype.

If Musk is serious to abandon censorship, it might imply to accept misinformation, and end with the platform being swarmed with alt-right, driving away a lot of current userbase.

But if Mastodon becomes mainstream, does it have any mechanism to do better than Musk Twitter and defend against misinformation?

Malcolm Bastien

@Gargron Thanks for all the hard work. I just upgraded my Patreon tier to try to help a bit at this critical time

TERMINALLY ONLINE

@Gargron thanks for your work. Hi from Malaysia. Hopefully more people migrate here.

Dr. Perinemely

@Gargron Don't worry ! We, twiterric refugees, are so glad to be here.

M_Robinson

@Gargron I got here OK just now. Keep on scaling.

Christopher Gough

@Gargron Thank you for your efforts. Twitter refugees need you! #Twittermigration

Radhertz

@Gargron The acquisition of Twitter is the “gift that keeps on giving” to Mastodon enrollments. Hang in there. We’re patient and appreciative of the hard work you’re doing.
