Alex WildMight have to change instances. This one gets so bogged down that I don’t get updates and messages for 12 hours.
Brad Hughes@alexwild I've actually wondered how much trouble it is to transfer. Do you just start over and lose friends and such?
Blue Appaloosa@0rigami apparently there are tools that carry your follows/followers over, but you can’t take your old posts.
@alexwild maybe look at flipping.rocks?
@BlueAppaloosa it’s on my radar.
I’m only just now seeing your comment, the lag is so bad
Matt Fossen@alexwild let me know if you find a satisfactory one.
Katie Slivensky@alexwild Likewise. Joined this one kinda at random when first signing up, as it seemed large-but-not-enormous, but sometimes it really feels slow or delayed. Wondering if it's growing pains? Probably a good thought to look around for other instances. Not sure how to change, but Mastodon is nothing if not full of posts explaining how to use it, so I'm sure I can figure it out! 😂
@kslivensky since signing up a couple weeks ago, there have been a few periods during heavy Twitter migration when it seems our instance just doesn’t get information from outside. Then, in the middle of the night, it’ll all update. I’m hoping once the Twitter exodus ends things will stabilize.
@alexwild Yes! Have noticed similar things. Fingers crossed it does indeed settle down.
Barry Goldman@alexwild @kslivensky we have to find teh guy who runs the server and help him make it bigger, $ or something. if we rely on someone to do it for us, we'll get mellon ball and cheeto finger again
Norobiik @@alexwild @kslivensky Better brace yourselves

Simon Garnier@alexwild ecoevo.social has been pretty good throughout the different registration waves. Probably a benefit of being a smaller instance.
Bill Hooker 😷@alexwild Yeah, me too. I didn't put much thought into this choice, so I want to take my time and find a good match next. Smaller, open science focused, reasonable rules, trustworthy owner(s).
Ram Prakash@alexwild hmm. I thought my followers were awefully quiet. Could be the load too I guess ;-)
@ramprakash I can see posts from people I follow on other instances on web browsers on the open internet, but not through my account on the app or logged in website. It’s all gummed up.
@alexwild I’m actually thinking of a poxelfed account to supplement this. Maybe I should just move.
Fraser Cain@alexwild there must be one specializing in nature
Chadwick Wood@alexwild I just (yesterday) created this instance as a general Austin instance. It’s still kind of figuring itself out, but you’re welcome to join if you’d like. It’s fast right now because there are like 5 accounts (personal friends). :) Found you by searching #austin on some of the bigger instances. Anyway, register if you like!
