Gregory's Server@cliffhensley Yes, a lot of slowdown on big instances because the network was never tested to receive half a million new subscriptions in less than a week, it is unprecedented! Administrators are scaling up their servers (I can't imagine the costs behind it). It might be smoother in two weeks from here.

 @cliffhensley Hey, I checked your profile, and you are following no other account. You'll not have recommendation, or suggestion here, you need to use the search box, and search for hashtags. Discover peoples sharing interest, and follow them. That's a way to populate a post feed/TL. Good luck with it. @davidrevoy Thanks for looking! I appreciate you trying to help, truly. I’ve actually followed a bunch of people, but it still says I’m following no one. If I search them out though, and open their profile, it says I’m already following them, even though according to my profile following count I’m not. Also, there are accounts showing up in the “Post” timeline on the Mastodon app, none of whom I actually follow. But even the “Post” timeline stopped updating a few days ago. @cliffhensley Oh wow, that sounds like a bug happened. I have no idea how to fix it. Maybe try to connect to your account directly via a browser on a computer at mastodon.online to check if you can perform things. Maybe the app has a hiccup. I hope you'll find a way to enjoy & browse the network of toots. @davidrevoy I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for your help. You’ve been very gracious. have followed you as a result and am also going to check out your work. Looking forward to it! |
@davidrevoy Ahh, ok, so things in experiencing such as not seeing any new Posts in the Post feed for the past 72 hours is definitely a result of server issues, and not some obscure design intent I hadn’t figured out yet? That’s good to know. I’ll be glad to see what this place is like once everything is running smoothly again. 👍
