Eugen RochkoI know that there's been intermittent stability issues with mastodon.social and mastodon.online recently. We're working on improving our infrastructure to address this.
As promised, mastodon.online infrastructure upgraded and is now easier to scale, mastodon.social is next on the list. Our mod team grows as well!
deefdragon@Gargron What do you use for infra/scaling for mastodon.online/social?
@deef Kubernetes
@Gargron Are you using the helm chart or custom deployments? I'm also kindof curious to the scale of the cluster.
Renaud Chaput@deef @Gargron This is currently deployed using custom deployments as it was the quickest for the migration, but I intent to move it to the official Helm chart once it settled down and I have time to publish the needed changes.
Currently mastodon.online is running on 8 CCX instances from Hetzner. DB and Redis are still on the old dedicaced servers.

@Gargron do you know when the 800 newer limit for the timeline will hit .social?
@dimillian Hopefully in the next few days
@Gargron Nice! I want to do some testing.
Badass Britt 
@Gargron @dimillian wait- are we getting a character limit upgrade?
@britt @Gargron no, itβs about being able to fetch more posts for the home timeline between a gap. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/23349
@dimillian @Gargron thank you! Iβll look into this.
Nathan Jung@britt there is a character limit upgrade included with glitch-soc https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/
@natejung I know about this but Iβm not going to use a fork for our instance. I will patiently wait for the option to (hopefully) be available within the Admin panel. *fingers crossed*
jerry@Gargron can you point me to a link that shows me how to migrate over to mastodon.social? Can't seem to find that server to migrate over to.

Iirc mastodon.social is closed to registrations, though

Chuck O'Rourke:verified:@Gargron how do I donate to help?
Ray Ryan (he/him)@Gargron I hope you're ready for the US Superbowl this weekend.
@Gargron let us know if./ how we can help.
Dennis@Gargron This is one of the reasons I configured my own server; mastodon.social felt slow. I also like my new username handle. π
Kerri LevineI'm a Twitter refugee and I LOVE Mastadon.
Thanks for building it, and we appreciate your continued efforts to make it even better.
CalamusEstFortis@Gargron Translation for those not yet in the know:
#JohnMastodon took time off to meditate and further train his powers, and his followers struggled without him, but he has now returned to them, stronger and more ready to lead than ever...
BarbaraKB in Michigan@Gargron thanks for communicating. appreciate your work. Iβve lost about 5-6 toots in last 24 hours. please keep informed ππ»
p19k@Gargron I'm new here. What kinds of issues is Mastodon dealing with?
Lstn2urmama@Gargron suddenly could not pin photos to put here and seems to ot functioning at all sometimes...
Bob Wyman@Gargron
Can you say anything about the causes of the instability? Is it simply that there is a great deal of legitimate usage, or, is it the result of DDOS attacks?

shanenI wish you luck, but...
If I got to pick a solution approach to donate money towards supporting, I think it would be a rebalancing tool to help people migrate away from overloaded (or otherwise unstable) servers... (#CSB)
New idea of OSS problem (apart from the financial model): In theory, anyone can modify the code, but in practice, it's dangerous to modify old code. Doesn't matter much if it's by a better or worse programmer, or even if it's your own old code.
everysummertime@Gargron thank you and team for the great work!!
