Designers with their own instances can potentially have a ton of fun on Mastodon. 🙂 I plan to make a bunch of them for our instance. This is just a test to see how to add them.  (And yes I know they don't work in Ivory yet 😅 )

@stammy curious to hear if you’ve had any issues with late or missing content while running a small instance? I’ve heard some rumblings but still considering spinning one up.

@joshferrara Hrm personally haven’t experienced any issues. But I feel like that could happen pretty easily if your sidekiq worker doesn’t have many threads and gets backed up a ton? (And if you’ve added any relays that keep it extra busy). I don’t have a super beefy server but it’s also not too small. 4GB ram, nvme ssd, all media on cloudfront
