Hey! 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
Thanks for the great work
@Gargron I’ll have as much patience as needed, if we destroy the “Death Star.” ✌🏼
@Gargron thanks for all you do 
@Gargron thanks for the work you do ^-^
@Gargron managing these huge traffic spikes as well as you are really speaks to the quality of what you've built here.
@peteftd @Gargron Yes, to my fullest agree! 👍👍👍
@Gargron thanks so much for all your hard work!!
@Gargron Hope you're ok! It would be nice to hear your findings regarding scaling the system. Especially about the sidekiq workers.
@mew @Gargron absolutely. Another thing I’d be curious about is if the same issues would have happened if we were using something like pleroma instead of mastodon for example
@Gargron congratulations, and condolences, on the enormity of your success
@Gargron thank you for your service. Much peppier.
@Gargron thank you for all the work put into this
@Gargron awesome work, can already see the difference!
@Gargron thank you so much. These last few days must have been pretty taxing.
@Gargron Then off to bed now and a good nights (days) sleep now!
@Gargron thank you, heroic times.
@Gargron thank you very much!
@Gargron Dankeschön für die harte Arbeit!
@Gargron That's so great. Thank you!
(also please take care of yourself - sleep is important and the internet will still be there tomorrow)
@Gargron thank you! how long is the queue for moving accounts out? I initiated my move from [email protected] to [email protected] on saturday and a chunk of followers still has not made it until now.
@Gargron Thanks for all you do.
@Gargron your work is highly appreciated 🙏🏽
@Gargron Is there any plan or perhaps worry with the current storm towards Mastodon? I imagine most servers for Mont instances are exploding rn
@Gargron Awesome problem to have! Stay strong.
@Gargron Hey Eugen! What are the best relays to use for new servers?
@Gargron I hope you get the financial support you need to keep this growing. People are confused about where their account should be so we pick the easy one.
Don't just thank @Gargron Support him and this instance! https://www.patreon.com/mastodon

@Mrfunkedude @Gargron Since I signed up (when it was just under €10k / month), I don't seem to be able to see the current funding level. I imagine it's more now(?), but it's quite amazing that this can run on so little funds!

@Mrfunkedude @Gargron

Absolutely this! I got mine sorted yesterday, and may increase my pledge soon too! 😄👍

@Gargron Thank you! I'm grateful for your work and for #MastodonOnline being up and mostly functional again. It's a "good problem to have" because it means your stuff is popular and getting used in big ways. Thanks again for working to keep the main sites afloat through all of this.
@vwbusguy is you local and fed feed back?
@HarryMBarham
Negative, but my home feed and notifications are caught up now.
@vwbusguy ah ok thanks, I’m the same - was just checking it wasn’t just me
@HarryMBarham @vwbusguy Came here to ask the same. I haven't been able to see the Local and the Federated feed for a few days now.
@fragabaglio @vwbusguy has this improved for either of you? I’m still stuck with it and it doesn’t look like anything is done to fix it?
@Mastodon
@HarryMBarham @vwbusguy Still nothing here. Paging @Gargron
@Gargron @fragabaglio @vwbusguy mine now seems to be working on the web?
@Gargron @fragabaglio @vwbusguy nope actually the local timeline is down again :(
@Gargron thank you! What are the peak hours?
@Gargron Thanks, much better now. I have started sponsoring Mastodon via Patreon.
@Gargron Thank you!! Please, get some rest. Things will be like this for some time and people will wait. Those of us in here & on the bird site still are letting people know it's because you're inundated! Take care.
