@Gargron Thanks for all the hard work Eugen!

@Gargron hi! I’m new here and my feed basically hasn’t refreshed except for a couple of posts in over 24 hours. Is there something I could do about that? I also can’t post photos. I’m sorry to bother you with this, I know you must be overwhelmed with similar questions.

@Gargron When will registration open on those servers?

@Gargron thank you for the work you all are doing.

@Gargron thank you!

@Gargron Thanks immensely for all the hard work. I know we've had disagreements in the past but you're doing great!¬

@Gargron thanks! It’s super fast & smooth this morning!

@Gargron Thank you! I'm very grateful for your work!

@Gargron Is there anything you can do about the app experience? I'm here, logged in through the Web but cannot log in through the iOS app. Also, there needs to be a default setup that makes it easy for everyone to get started.

@Gargron Thank you. This place is wonderful. And you've really risen to the occasion/insane crush of demand.

@Gargron #stamina much appreciate your service to the community, day and night!

@Gargron Viele danke. I have also started to chip in with a donation.

@Gargron have you considered hiring an admin, maybe part time would be enough, so you can focus on development?

would the current funding be enough for that? if not, you can promote the goal to hire an admin and ask for more people to support the project

@Gargron thank you! I appreciate you greatly!

@Gargron thank you. Finding my feet!

@Gargron Thank you for your hard work! For those of us who've been using other instances like mastodon.cloud (which is on v3.4.6), how worried about security vulnerability should we be about the fact that the instances aren't on the latest version?

@Gargron Hi Eugen, I made a mistake when I first joined up here, not realising that there were these different servers. As a result I have this mas.to account and a previous mastodon.social account. I'm having trouble accessing the one on social. Please can you help?

@Gargron Just joined yesterday and a few teething issues but figured was getting sorted in the background. Thanks for your hard work on getting newbies on and it's looking great!

@Gargron billion dollars worth is loading. 😎😉

@Gargron here's a basic question. This is my first day poking around on Mastodon and not totally clear on how the instances work. So can users join multiple instances? I'd like to check out mastodon.online but not sure how. Do we create separate accounts for each one? Thanks for any help for a newbie.

@Gargron Hey Eugen, question, is there some status page for mastodon servers where we can see whether its down or not?

@Gargron Thanks for all your hard work 👍

@Gargron thanks for your hard work!

@Gargron ÇEVİRİ ÖZELLİĞİ EKLEYİN!!!

@Gargron thank you!

@Gargron Thank you! It's made a big difference.

@Gargron Unglaubliche Arbeit. Danke!! Wenn wir Dir helfen können, melde Dich gerne. Wir sind auch eine gGmbH und sind vor 10 Jahren durch schnelles Wachstum gegangen. (www.democracy-reporting.org)

@Gargron Amazing stuff you're doing, just to keep Mastodon alive. Well done! #FuckElonMusk

@Gargron Now I know why @SDF was slow! Thanks!

@Gargron Very much appreciate your hard work. What's the best way to support the effort? The Patreon link?

@Gargron pls print and send me your code for review, thanks.

@Gargron thank you!

@Gargron thank you very much. Difference between yesterday and today is noticeable! 😊

@Gargron brother, it brings the option to send messages via dm, improves account creation and changes the form of registration because I almost can't enter here... if you changed the trends it would be perfect too

@Gargron Thank you! Still zippy on .online today.

@Gargron Thank you!!

@Gargron thanks, hire a team man 🤭

@Gargron Thanks a lot!

@Gargron ThankYou!!

@Gargron Hello, thank you for letting us join your site, and thank you, too, for all your work. We appreciate it.

@Gargron You're doing a great job Eugen, this level of extra load must be a real bear to muddle through but the platform is i in great shape

@Gargron Hey, I'm one of the newcomers of the last few days and still figuring out the ropes. Just wondering, is it normal that the federated and local timeline is still empty, meaning I have to set something up. Ir is this due to the huge number of new people, aka the server is still overloaded. Either way, thank you for your work

@Gargron Thank you for all the hard work you and the team are putting in right now. I've noticed a huge difference today - no time outs and the feed is flowing!

@Gargron verification when?

@Gargron
Thank you, kind sir.

@Gargron now that you are seeing higher loads than in the past, is it giving you ideas for engineering changes to improve scalability?

@Gargron thanks— but FYI still having trouble uploading photos.

@Gargron The perils of too Musky a twitter-verse at present, perhaps? ;-). SO Appreciate Mastodon being available though... for all us fumbling newbies!

@Gargron can anyone willing to adopt standards, moderate, and manage create a server space?

Thank you very much for all of your hard work,

@Gargron will that be why my confirmation email took 18 hours tobe received ( together with another 5 i’d repeat asked as i thought my emails werent working). ;)

@Gargron Thank You! Much appreciated!!

@Gargron nice

@Gargron thanks! The job people are doing to handle the digital refugee crisis is amazing.

@Gargron thank you! I’m noticing my feed is working much better today. Yay!

@Gargron no Global Timeline!

@Gargron würde gerne was spenden für diese wichtige Arbeit

@Gargron Awesome, thanks!!! Any hope that mastodon.online will have local and federated feeds any time in the near future?

@Gargron how do i access my corresponding mastodon.social account? I have a username and password saved, but no email :(

@Gargron brand newbie here and just want to say what a marvellous job you’re doing ❤️from Qld Oz.

@Gargron I can't log in on the app to social.net it keeps telling me my password is wrong

@Gargron thank you for your great work!

@Gargron this is gonna grow more.. Make more capacity!

@Gargron thank you!!!

@Gargron
Ohhh so that was the reason! Thank you!

@Gargron love it

@Gargron suggestion: consider adding a trusted servers feature for news outlets into the protocol? An @msnbc server would show up as trusted and all their reporters would show a "verified" status.

@Gargron I just registered. #noob #baby #justslidin #indianajones

@Gargron thank you for your dedication!

@Gargron Thank you, Eugen.

@Gargron Thanks so much for all U do to make this wonderful platform work ! It is a truly 'Real' chance - for us all. Very well done !!" Rehards jerry

@Gargron Thank you for creating this tool, which already created so many connections & communities with this current weekend wave.
For many there's a vibrant effervescence, like the first day of high school. Fresh air. New connections between interesting people.

However looks like a lot of people have issues with #EmptyTimeline where nothing shows up on #federated & #local #Timelines on .online since Sunday morning, from newcomers like me or old-timers.
We know it's the price of succes though.

@Gargron it definitely feels snappier today, thank you

@Gargron Thank you!

@Gargron Thank you 😊

@Gargron Hi Eugene; When I try to sign on through the Mastodon Website it does not list mastodon.online as a server option. I signed in by searching specifically for it, independent of Mastodon. Any ideas?

@Gargron I'm still new to this. If I understood correctly one can register to any server but still can follow anyone with a mastodon account? In that case what why most people are on mastodon.social? Do servers have special perks?

@Gargron you’re going to have another huge influx after the election results, with many ppl waiting until it’s over to leave Twitter. I came early, but won’t delete mine until after the results are in as well.

@Gargron could I ask how Mastodon encourages the hamsters whose wheels power the servers? I assume it's a more humane method then your competitors.

@Gargron also, where do we donate?

@Gargron can you make possible donations in other forms than Patreon? Thanks for all the work you put in this server (and more)

@Gargron Thanks for this platform. Love the idea and mentality, plus am sure it will soon rival Twitter for sophistication and European common sense.

@Gargron thank you for all you do

@Gargron hang in there. I’ve upped my monthly Patreon to $10, I hope it helps a little to cover hosting costs and maybe a larger team

@Gargron I can't imagine how much extra work has developed over the past few days. You're doing an awesome job! #mastodon is ace! Thank you 💛✌️

Awesome thanks! I assume this is why I saw some folks that other site :verified: saying they tried to join but didn’t get a registration email. @Gargron

@Gargron Thank you for all your work and for making this space available.

@Gargron tnx!

@Gargron thank you.

@Gargron would it theoretically help you if people migrated to other instances?

@Gargron you are doing a great job!

@Gargron great work man! It really made a difference

@Gargron Thank you!

@Gargron I love devops. Let me know if you need some help!

@Gargron great thanks, seems much better on .online now.

@Gargron you need a team!!! And we (imclude me) need to donate.

@Gargron thanks for your work here! appreciate it.

@Gargron Thank you! I like what you’ve built here!

@Gargron I do notice some improvement. Thanks for your hard work, as always!
