@Gargron Dude THANK YOU for everything you've been doing. I imagine a lot of us would be losing our shit if this were happening and Mastodon weren't a thing.

@Gargron good. We are waiting for Android

@Gargron what ever you did, thank you

@Gargron I just assumed everybody stores mastodon media on cdn-fronted cloud storage! Been doing that from the start. Also glad to see the policy change, means I can lock down my storage a bit more so only CDN can access it there.

@Gargron Thank you. Both improvements are immediately noticeable.

You going to get a chance to get some sleep soon? Please don't burn yourself out. Uptime is laudable but it's not worth your health, physical or mental.

@Gargron wohoo, thank you🙏 Patreon supporter 💪

@Gargron thank u mr gargron

@Gargron -- Thanks for Masto! Keep up the good work.

@Gargron Thank you! Is an $8 Patreon tier possible? :coolcat:

@Gargron 👏

@Gargron Thank you for all that you are doing. There was a post recently mentioning how it would be beneficial to post images in pixelfed and surface them on this instance to reduce the strain on this instance. I have searched around on the how but no luck. Do you happen to have somewhere to point me for that idea?

@Gargron Stacy @stacycay I believe you had some suggestions for the official app :)

@Gargron GOAT! thank you sir. Appreciate you!

@Gargron today social was barely working.... both app and web.

@Gargron thank you Eugen, you are an absolute hero!

@Gargron cool! I just added you to my patreon list.

@Gargron It's true! We Canadians are *very* fast at serving images.

Ohhh... a Content Distribution Network? Well, sure that'll work too... but have you tried using Canadians? We're quite nice.

@Gargron wow, you must be really busy these days, but i guess it’s good-busy

@Gargron thank you

@Gargron Eugen is doin' the thing that makes the Mastodon better. Big shoulders. Bigger tasks.

@Gargron Releasing in production, Friday night. Sounds like pizza, caffeine and 48 hours of no sleep. I got mixed feelings about those days of the past.

@Gargron what's the name of the app?

@Gargron I subbed to your patreon, hope that helps a little

@Gargron thanks for your efforts to deal with the massive increase in users.

@Gargron

Thank you for your update!

@Gargron I would also venture to say that the image loading upgrade is in direct correlation to my sharing a pic of my dog ~ 9 min. ago. You're welcome Mastodon! Woot! Toot!

@Gargron Yes, the image load is working much better, thank you!

@Gargron Signed up as Patreon, only a small amount but I hope it will help :)

@Gargron thank you for all the good work.

@Gargron good the iOS version defo needs some love. Android version feels more consistent

@Gargron Thank you, Eugen! You are doing a great job here!

@Gargron great stuff, appreciate all the work. Any updates to the Android app on the horizon?

@Gargron thanks for some great work. Hope it’s calmed down for all the architects, devs and server owners by the end of the year, If not take a holiday anyway!

@Gargron YAY! awesome!1!

@Gargron looking forward to editing on iOS.

@Gargron take your time . We can wait. I am just glad I can explore and possibly take it easier . Thanks for your work 💞

@Gargron
Thank you Eugen 👍

@Gargron much appreciated!

@Gargron You’re a star! Dankeschune.

@gargron Thank you!

@Gargron thank you for your service!

@Gargron Thank you for all you’re doing!

@Gargron We do tend to be very hard workers. 😌 #Canadian

@Gargron Great news, thanks!

@Gargron

You have to be absolutely swamped.

@Gargron
Thank you! I appreciate your hard work. Hope you can get some sleep too!
@jeffjarvis

@Gargron Are there any plans to improve Mastodon’s scalability as there are more and more users and servers? n-to-n communication seems like it will be too much eventually.

@Gargron

What is the "click to add note" feature for that appears atop everyone's profile header? #mastodon

@Gargron Thanks so much for all what you do! Feels great to be here since a couple of days 🥰 :masto: :gfedi: and slowly learning and enjoying the insights, especially not being in the hands of the billionaires

#TwitterMigration #RipTwitter

@Gargron I hope you're doing well, eating well, and getting plenty of rest.

@Gargron I just upped my Patreon donation. I’m sure you can use it well, and I’d rather pay for Mastodon than give my $ to Elon.

@Gargron Thank you, again, for the great work!

@Gargron

⚠️ Stop growing your mega server.

:fediverse: It can only do harm to the #Fediverse.

@Gargron yeah nee iOS App Release!!!

@Gargron you’re a true champion of free speech.! Thank you!!

@Gargron what's a good app to use on macOS? Or should I stick with web page?

@Gargron iOS版本哦

@Gargron I downloaded the current iOS app but it didn’t recognize my login and wanted me to choose an instance. Mine was not listed.

@Gargron subscribed yearly at @Patreon.

@Gargron Thank you!!

@Gargron Cant imagine the strain you must be under right now. Thanks for all that you do!

@Gargron Thank you for doing all of that!

@Gargron Thanks!

@Gargron are you human?

@Gargron I noticed things are loading faster! Just put in my donation on patreon. Keep up the great work! 👏👏

@Gargron well done -- I just subscribed via Patreon to your service.

@Gargron thank you for all the work

@Gargron aces nice one. Is there any way to contribute to the iOS app? Would love to help

@Gargron

A CEO that actually knows what he is doing 🙂.

Thanks, and don't forget to sleep 😉

#Mastodon

@Gargron keep it up

@Gargron I've been playing with iOS app on both iOS and macOS and noticing on macOS it doesn't live refresh at all, to get new stuff to load involves basically switching tabs off then back. I have not tested the version in testflight though.

@Gargron Y’all are really rising to the occasion 🙂

@Gargron

Content Something Network

@Gargron thank you! my app is sooo slow rn, waiting for the update!

@Gargron thank you for all of your work on everything!!

@Gargron it’s just wild that it’s just you and a small team doing this! Great work.

@Gargron Thanks for the great work you are doing. We appreciate it and if you need anything just ping.

@Gargron you should hire some former Twitter employees to boost up your engineering and feature building teams. Mastodon is growing at a massive rate and needs a team to keep up with that growth. But I'm sure you are already doing this ☺️

@Gargron I thought of doing the same on my instance after it grows, if it grows lol.

im running everything on aws so far.

@Gargron I can't imagine how crazy things are. Best wishes!

@Gargron this is exciting though I have very few issues with MetaText.

@Gargron is there any plan to have a general instance to cover every social network in @Mastodon

@Gargron Mastodon is a lot faster now. Thanks for your hard work as always!

@Gargron Could you say what CDN is?

@Gargron Grateful for all your efforts!

@Gargron thank you for all your efforts!

@Gargron

I'm so clueless that I read that as "I put a 'Canadian' in front..." and was super confused but if you think about it, it could still make sense yes? Lol

@Gargron exciting!

@Gargron congrats on the success, sorry for the success lol. We appreciate your dedication!

@Gargron You taking beta testers?

@Gargron is there anything for the offline bug or is that simply the servers literally shutting down?

@Gargron cool

@Gargron thank you! The improvement is noticeable, awesome!

@Gargron 👋 is patreon the only way to donate to this instance?

@Gargron Hi - I want to edit profile and add my photo, but when I click on choose file (both avatar and background) NOTHING happens. It does not work. Can you help? TIA.

@Gargron Hi @Grogon Glad to see you again. Sorry I was gone for so long. Back now. I have photos to post but maybe I should hold off if the server is being stretched by all the new people.

@Gargron the load is still slow on Android app, especially on loading the media.

@Gargron Thank you for your hard work!!

@Gargron Nice! Thank you. ❤️
