Every time there's a new influx of folks from that other site, some servers get a little overwhelmed, and some stuff slows/breaks. But... most of it seems to get fixed pretty quickly.

I will admit that I'm somewhat pleasantly surprised at how resilient Mastodon has been for scaling over the last few weeks.

@mmasnick also, I appreciate all the people you’re boosting — it’s really helping me find folks that I followed over on the bird app.
@geoff_green i'm trying to as much of that as possible for that very purpose... mastodon works if you follow active users, so i'm trying to highlight some good ones!
