Gregory's ServerHey! 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 Thank you for all the work you are doing to keep improving the Mastodon UX in general! Today I’m noticing a definite speed lag, and I’m guessing a lot of it has to do with which server a user is signed up with. Would making a speed stat visible during the onboarding server selection process make sense, to balance the load? And/or be a useful selection factor for those of us who don’t follow the server feed, and therefore don’t otherwise care much which one they’re on? @Gargron You're doing great work, but don't forget to watch your health. We Mastodon users can be patient. @Gargron Hi, I was wondering what the difference / reason for the two different servers is? Apologies if this is covered somewhere I've missed 😄 @Gargron really excited to explore. Seems to be some really cool functionality and feels way more real than the bird site ☺️  @Gargron ,Many Thanks Too :) Donation Pages For: #MastodonSocial & #MastodonOnline ?. !. :/ :) Enjoy Rest Of Week & Weekend To Too, & Have Some Fun, Relax, You & Others At: #Mastodon & #Fediverse Deserve It Too :) @Gargron Another Gaurdian article today published about Mastodon. I think you’ll have another busy night/day @Gargron You and the team are kicking ass! Thanks for going from 0-60 in 4 seconds to accommodate all of us newbies here. The servers are blaaaaazing fast today. Well done! If you can add to the feature request list, please add a way to comment on boosts before sharing, in addition to just sharing the toot.  @Gargron Thank you! The transparency and responsiveness here has been great. Hope it calms down for you soon!  @Gargron thanks! That fixed my problem. I thought there was a problem with daylight savings time. Oops! 😀 @Gargron great job. Hopefully people are understanding that the massive influx is going to slow things down. @Gargron is there a link in place to submit bugs if anyone spots them at all as I noticed that follower count only increases when you hit edit profile, and thanks for the hard work @Gargron Thanks, it was definitely getting slow! Searches still seem to be taking a long time though... But I'm sure you'll be onto that soon. @Gargron I love that you created this and you’re only 29 now. (Good grief, what have I been doing with my time?) Thank you for working all night. Hope you get some rest! @Gargron Just joined this beautiful platform. Keep up the good work and I hope we get some regional servers from Dubai so we can build a creative and productive community alike.  @Gargron Thank you! I signed up as a patron when I realised that you were the admin of .online. Hope it helps, it's amazing work by all of you. @Gargron Great to hear you’re working on this! Still getting the offline messages and delayed updates ion mstdn.social. @Gargron Thankyou ox much appreciated.. cause I’ve got no real idea how to do any of it YET . @Gargron did you ever give any thought to having logged in users store their media, technically it would only be available when they’re online but it seems to be expensive for people running servers to store media. |
@Gargron it feels so much more responsive today! Thanks!
It's much more useable, so that should cause more traffic again by itself. 🤔
