Masto.host

Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure.

The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform.

These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests.

Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.

@mastohost keep up the good work.
I just started my own instance (electroverse.tech) to secure and stabilize the network.

The more instances, the more fedi the verse ;)

@mastohost you mean you didn't account for a mass influx of new friends from one of the largest social networks?!

You are crushing it with the unexpected curve balls coming your way! Keep up the good work.

@mastohost hey no sweat. Silly dolls like me flooding in here from Twitter was bound to cause a few hiccups. I appreciate everything you’re doing. Thank you.

@mastohost thanks for all your hard work! Is there a way I can throw a couple extra bucks your way above my subscription?

Prufrax

@mastohost You are doing an absolutely *sterling* job in the face of the immense traffic storm created by Space Karen's destruction of the birdsite. Your hard work is most definitely appreciated.

Anthony Rabbit

@mastohost hang in there, we greatly appreciate your efforts. Probably going to get more hectic throughout the weekend as more users bail out of the Bird’s possible death spiral and arrive here.

For those on the spacey.space instance, we use @mastohost and it looks like they are fighting some epic growth! Great problem to have, but means that our instance may not be super stable right now. Please allow a bit of time for everything to be sorted.

@mastohost Hugo is the reason mastodon.ie has stayed afloat during the chaos of the last few weeks.

Please spare a thought for him. When all this calms down there will be pints posted his way.

On behalf of the #MastoDaoine, thank you Hugo!

@mastohost Thank you! You’re providing shelter from the storm even if the roof leaks a little bit!

@mastohost

i'm in awe at all the admins of instances and that things are working so well.

one of my metrics of "did you design well to scale up" is how well you survive the success disaster of 2 or more orders of magnitude unexpected/rapid growth.

mastodon is doing quite well, all things considered, by that metric.

POTSibilities Parents

@mastohost Thank you for providing a platform for us! We really appreciate everything you’re doing.

@mastohost It's no problem! The lagginess/slowness is to be expected. I think all of us can chill out while everything is fixed and spiffed up. 😀 👍🏻
