@ruud What size would make this or any instance too unwieldy?
Show threadRuudNov 18, 2022
@Whammer1249 Well it's just a matter of keeping up with tweaking and expanding. On the other hand, the idea of the fediverse is that there are many small servers instead of a few big ones..

@ruud Is there a way to slow the local and fed timelines down?
Show threadRuudNov 18, 2022
@soulstorm Yes, when you go to preferences there's actually a 'slow mode' you can enable.

@ruud I was just too fast. Enabled it and was wondering if it did what I wanted.
It did.
Just some minutes later.

How is the server holding?

@soulstorm Very well. Just need to tweak the database now

@ruud Excited to be here, but what to tell people about that first question? The server thing is a huge barrier to entry. And follow me for progressive religious hot-takes from NYC πŸ˜ƒ
