Eugen RochkoI put a CDN in front of the images, so they should load faster now. I've also upgraded the server again. A new iOS app release is waiting for review.

@Gargron Same app or is it the Mammoth one?
boojit@hearthborn @Gargron this is a server side fix so all apps/clients will benefit.
EDIT: talking about the CDN stuff here.
@hearthborn @Gargron ah my bad, sorry for the confusion. I didn't even read through to the iOS stuff on the original post!
Jodinha Godiva 🏳️⚧️❤️@jodinha @hearthborn @Gargron Well I take @Gargron to mean just .social but I guess he might have some other servers he operates that he may have done as well.
EDIT: I'm referring to the CDN stuff here.
Jay 🆘@hearthborn The Mammoth app is not made by Mastodon, it's a third-party app by @JPEGuin
Zorin =^o.o^=@Gargron Dude THANK YOU for everything you've been doing. I imagine a lot of us would be losing our shit if this were happening and Mastodon weren't a thing.
Vale@Gargron What kind of resources does mastodon.social use these days anyway?
Richard Ireland@Gargron thank you! In the meanwhile I’m saving images as maximum if 150KB before uploading to avoid putting a strain on the server.
Scumlord Eris, Acolyte of Anna@Gargron I'd be curious how many more users you got after last night
Jorge Irraizoz 
🇺🇦@Gargron good. We are waiting for Android
stavpup@Gargron what ever you did, thank you
Ben Zanin@Gargron Thank you. Both improvements are immediately noticeable.
You going to get a chance to get some sleep soon? Please don't burn yourself out. Uptime is laudable but it's not worth your health, physical or mental.
Eva Libuše Debora Pavlíková@Gargron wohoo, thank you🙏 Patreon supporter 💪
@Gargron I just assumed everybody stores mastodon media on cdn-fronted cloud storage! Been doing that from the start. Also glad to see the policy change, means I can lock down my storage a bit more so only CDN can access it there.
Dave Winer ☕️@Gargron -- Thanks for Masto! Keep up the good work.

Μιχάλης 🇺🇸 🇬🇷 🇺🇦 ⚛@Gargron Thank you for all that you are doing. There was a post recently mentioning how it would be beneficial to post images in pixelfed and surface them on this instance to reduce the strain on this instance. I have searched around on the how but no luck. Do you happen to have somewhere to point me for that idea?
Gothsong 💀📚☕@Gargron GOAT! thank you sir. Appreciate you!
Arwen_27@Gargron today social was barely working.... both app and web.
Andy Gibson 💭@Gargron thank you Eugen, you are an absolute hero!
Peter Gordon 🇺🇦@Gargron cool! I just added you to my patreon list.
aboutgrau@Gargron wow, you must be really busy these days, but i guess it’s good-busy
Dr. Fyzziks@Gargron It's true! We Canadians are *very* fast at serving images.
Ohhh... a Content Distribution Network? Well, sure that'll work too... but have you tried using Canadians? We're quite nice.
JWC 🏳️🌈🇺🇸 🇺🇦@Gargron thank you
NeadReport@Gargron Eugen is doin' the thing that makes the Mastodon better. Big shoulders. Bigger tasks.
mclaurentiu@Gargron Releasing in production, Friday night. Sounds like pizza, caffeine and 48 hours of no sleep. I got mixed feelings about those days of the past.
Jeroen Clemens 📚@Gargron what's the name of the app?
chris@Gargron @jeroenclemens that’ll be the Mastodon.app I guess
FLEABttn@Gargron I subbed to your patreon, hope that helps a little
Dr. Eric J. Fielding, PhD@Gargron thanks for your efforts to deal with the massive increase in users.
@Gargron I would also venture to say that the image loading upgrade is in direct correlation to my sharing a pic of my dog ~ 9 min. ago. You're welcome Mastodon! Woot! Toot!
excited for the mastodon rise@Gargron Yes, the image load is working much better, thank you!
Midnight Eye@Gargron Signed up as Patreon, only a small amount but I hope it will help :)
Keram 🥽 🎸@Gargron good the iOS version defo needs some love. Android version feels more consistent
YayForThat@Gargron Thank you, Eugen! You are doing a great job here!
Erik Radvon@Gargron great stuff, appreciate all the work. Any updates to the Android app on the horizon?
Petro Koriakin@Gargron YAY! awesome!1!
Eastcoastknits@Gargron I just assume CND means Canadian and you can't convince me otherwise.
Kristin@Gargron thanks for some great work. Hope it’s calmed down for all the architects, devs and server owners by the end of the year, If not take a holiday anyway!
moooping@Gargron thank you!
#boatlife

@markymark @Gargron that took me a second to understand, but when I did, I audibly snorted! People are looking at me funny. Again. 🇨🇦
Dirk@Gargron Great news, thanks!
gwsorrellsYou have to be absolutely swamped.
Paul Jacobson
Christian Brüggemann@Gargron Are there any plans to improve Mastodon’s scalability as there are more and more users and servers? n-to-n communication seems like it will be too much eventually.
Benjamin Gesing@Gargron thank you!!
