⚠️ We are working to restore pixelfed.social, the influx of new users across the fediverse overloaded the server.

We apologize for the inconvenience!

This latest growth spurt has highlighted some opportunities for performance improvements that will be rolling out later this week. #pixelfed

@pixelfed Thanks for the update, appreciate it and the efforts to get it working again!

We have to temporarily disable federation so our job queue can catch up, again we're sorry about this!

This is a last resort solution aside from a total outage.

@pixelfed Why aren’t instances like this limiting the number of users instead of overextending themselves like this?

@pixelfed thank you for putting out the fire. intrigued to hear about the post mortem and clever solutions in due time.

PS i have no clue as to the internals whatsoever, and its probably and all or nothing, but suppose if federation ceased on the local & federated TL but continued elsewhere, would that help at all, or not really, because it couldnt work that way, or if it did it wouldnt make a diff.

@pixelfed Thanks for the info and explaining the current performance issues. Will show a small sign of appreciation here and I hope more users will think about this with the current growth of the Fediverse: patreon.com/dansup

@pixelfed Speaks for #Pixelfed, I dare say.

Now to get the people to understand #federation and spread them across instances...

@pixelfed I did not find the registration button/link.

@pixelfed Is this why I'm not able to attach an image to my post right now? #newbie

@pixelfed
One could use smaller istances, like vizibol.social
It’s exactly like the federation concept works.
