Remember this "Rails doesn't scale" thing? :speak_no_evil:
@sickill but it's kind of cheating anyway, isn't it?
@yundt in what sense?
@sickill with instances being independent, single instances don't really need to "scale" that well, but then you have problems implementing features like search etc. Buuut still, I can't say I've paid too much attention to how it's really built :clown:
@sickill oh wait, only now I've heard about performance problems of mastodon.social, and I guess those errors I'm getting when trying to follow people are also connected... :speak_no_evil:
@yundt to be fair it has to be said mastodon.social is run by one guy.
