Closing registrations for now, so I can tune the server and database some more.
We're at 65253 users.

Big thanks for the hard work keeping a stable and well performing instance going in the face of massive growth, and for hosting a positive community. Really enjoying being here so far!

@ruud Working hard! Thank you, Ruud! You and the other server admins are so appreciated!
@ruud thanks for all your hard work.
@ruud Holy cow! That's like tripled in a week!

@ruud How many users can a "normal" Mastodon instance handle? I have a feeling that a lot of instances are at their capacity limit.
@headhunter Well you can scale it, so it could grow a lot. But the speed of growth at the moment is overwhelming...
@ruud Thx for the info! Yeah the influx of new users must be overwhelming for the current infrastructure. But #mastodon will manage this! πŸ’ͺ🏻
@ruud would love to have a chat about tuning pg-sql, my background is mssql. At some point I would like to host a specialized community myself
