Hey! Spent all day (technically night) fixing delayed feeds on mastodon.social and mastodon.online, both are back to normal now, I had to add more capacity. There's just so much more activity during peak hours, even with closed registrations! #devops

@Gargron thanks for the great work! Anyway we can help out, beside donating?

Frerk

@Gargron now if every user would donate 8$ to upgrade the servers of mastodon.social?

Thank you!
Can we have LaTeX as in mathstodon.xyz ?
\[ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6} \] mathstodon.xyz/@AvelinoQuantum

@Gargron Just wondering, what is it what you do all night maintaining? I cannot find any Mastodon tweaking/ optimizing articles online, other than the regular configuration guide. I'm considering putting an instance online, but like to know what technical challenges I'm facing.

@Gargron Thank you so much for all your hard work. I can tell it’s much quicker tonight than yesterday!

Marcel

@Gargron@mastodon.social You did a great job the past time ​:blobcatflower:​

Thanks for your work

Dj Padzensky

@Gargron one from the world of “nice problems to have.”

Congratulations and sympathies.

Yves Jans

@Gargron thanks, things feel notably faster ❤️
If you need any help now and then, I’m a DevOps Engineer willing to do some volunteering work :)

So Julia

@Gargron Thanks, I’m a newbie here. Everything is much much speedier this morning!

ArtCreates

@Gargron I just joined today. So much to learn! I’m looking forward to it!

@Gargron

Just a very tip of the iceberg for better or for worse. If we see even a tiny fraction of Twitter's traffic migrate funding is going to be a problem.

Aasgardsreia

@Gargron Thanks! You must be working a lot right now. It's appreciated 😊❤️

🐳♙ 𝐒Į∂𝔡 ♟☆

@Gargron - It’s still bit delayed & also big delay in posting cover picture!!!

Kerfuffle

@Gargron Does it not autoscale to meet variations in load?

Kevin Howells

@Gargron Hello right now I can’t afford financially to help. I’m sorry. I do want to say ‘Thank you’. You have skills and commitment I don’t. In a world I find overwhelming I’m very grateful to you. I promise to help where I can.

Carlos Vidal

@Gargron thanks for the hard work! I did my part this morning ❤️

Clooky

@Gargron
Appreciate all the very hard work you guys are putting in. On mastodon.online local and federated timelines are still showing as empty.

Anne @annevelink_ad

@Gargron

I Lost my Twitter friends when I go to Mastodon. Though I follow some new ones, hardly shows up in my Timeline. I wonder why... sigh........

Catherine Paine

@Gargron Thank you very much for all your work to enable this platform - only been here a few days and it is a complete breath of fresh air!

Michiel van Leening ⌨️

@Gargron Feels snappy from here in NL. Thanks for the effort.

Eric :verified:

@Gargron We are seeing 200% growth today from same hours yesterday. Prepare and expand!

Ben C. O. Grimm 🇪🇺🇳🇱

@Gargron *virtuell Kaffee reich*
du machst einen tollen Job... und das wird alles sich schon wieder zurechtrücken bei der Menge an #Newbie , die hier auf einmal auf die server einstürmen..
wir im Norden sagen gerne: "mit geduld und Spucke geht alles ..."

@gargron As part of the #twitxit, appreciate your efforts and that of all the other admins. Thanks 🙏🏻

@Gargron thank you for your hard work making a new home for us here!

Markus Eicher

@Gargron Thanks for your commitment to the community! 🙏

CRis Rosales

@Gargron Thank you for your work. We're enjoying this return.

Vito Botta :it: :fi: :uk:

@Gargron Is there a place where we can see up to date stats about the number of users and servers across the federation?

edeal

@Gargron How do you get 175k followers on this app we knew about 1 week ago?😀

Sandra Peters

@Gargron thank you. I hope you're having to scale up your tip jar ⭐

t4hiro

@Gargron Thanks. If it's any motivation, I've noticed the difference.

Pixel Bandits

@Gargron well, it's a great platform. slightly confusing when coming from centralised social media but getting used to it 😂

Danke and viel spaß!

🕊️Peaceful☕Skyred🌇

@Gargron Oh. Neuregistrierungen sind geschlossen? Hörte davon auf den kleineren Servern, aber dass das jetzt auch auf den Hauptservern der Fall ist, war mir nicht bewusst. Ist natürlich schade für alle die gern joinen möchten, aber verständlich da die die bereits hier sind ja auch eine einigermaßen ertragbare Performance brauchen um den Service überhaupt nutzen zu können. Danke für all deine Mühe, Eugen.

Kitsune.sketches

@Peaceful_Skyred @Gargron hatte mich schon gewundert, einige Neuankömmlinge (Art Server) können sich derzeit nicht anmelden. Die Welle ist wohl doch größer als gedacht 😅

f♯ a♯ ∞

@Gargron yeah sorry, we're all back on our old accounts from 2017 frenzy, hopefully we stick to it this time 😅

Bitmap Frogs

@Gargron thank you for your efforts but unfortunately mastodon.online is still hosed, so it is not back to normal

Danish Rizvi

@Gargron why there are so many servers... it's so hard to connect with people.

SusiAnsujali

@Gargron I'm sure you'll be getting more traffic and tooters than you ever thought possible :) Twitter is literally going up in flames and when it finally implodes, this will quickly jump into the millions.... :D

David Swords

@Gargron Keep fighting the good fight sire.

DaBooster 🌻🍉

@Gargron Thank you! Don't forget to take a break, eat, sleep etc.
We need you to stay healthy!
Mstdn is a great place.🤘💙

mariababy

@Gargron Hi Eugen, thanks for everything. A while back I was able to use the search box to search for hashtags (I was interested in #Brexit at the time). I cannot do that now. Is it me? Or is an updated feature arriving? Once again, thank you.

Ar

@Gargron thanks for sorting it out, was struggling to do anything here yesterday lol

EVHaste

@Gargron

Thanks for your hard work! Make sure you get some rest, too.

Lesley Hughes

@Gargron that explains why my feed wasn’t updating. I just tried to quote toot this as I’m still new!

Werner 🌻🕊️

@Gargron Thanks for your hard work. You're a trooper 👍

Cherry 🍒

@Gargron actually, it's kind of normal due to all the people who transfer from twitter to mastodon

jshashek

@Gargron Thank you for all you do! I am really enjoying exploring Mastodon and finding interesting and beautiful posts,free of negativity.

Toxic Stew of Mendacity

@Gargron thank you for all that you do to make this site what it is xx

Thilo Maier

@Gargron Thank you and I really appreciate it.

How can we help beyond Patreon support?

Paul C

@Gargron it feels so much more responsive today! Thanks!

It's much more useable, so that should cause more traffic again by itself. 🤔
