Eugen RochkoIf I am feeling more free soon I want to write down all the tips & tricks for scaling Mastodon to 40k users that I've learned so far
Jemal Cole@Gargron yes please. 😀
plsburydoughboy (I/het/him)@Gargron I'm writing about the site today, it'll be online but local, not a big media thing, will link when it goes online!
Hisham@Gargron here's some more encouragement: I modded the usercount bot to count the sum of instances.mastodon.xyz:
You're doing a fantastic job here! Thank you again :)
Caleb Maclennan@hisham_hm Not sure if you check mentions from the bot account, but it would be nice to backfill a couple data points to give the graph a zero baseline: https://mastodon.social/@alerque/1866594
@alerque Hi! I thought about it but the graph wouldn't be too readable, and I don't want to add fake data. In any case, I think it will look better over the next few days as the time window fills. It'll probably make it look less strange than it currently does. Let's see! Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated :)
@hisham_hm I understand it will even out, but even a month from now wouldn't it give better perspective on the history of Mastodon if the graph at least had 0 on the Y axis? It wouldn't be fake data to also start the X axis on the date of first working Github code posting or something like that. In any event thanks for the bot.
Koen@Gargron yes, that would be nice!
Ronflaixâ„¢ (inactive)@Gargron "Tip #0001 : Don't sleep anymore"
Benjamin Bayart@Gargron Maybe you will need some rest first... You cannot take care of Mastodon if you do not take care of yourself first.
sparky_005@Gargron this would be a great read!
Afif R.@Gargron come on man, where's the edit button? Dont be like Jack
in another castle@Gargron Please do - I'm struggling with scaling my projects as well. Being down from 3am to 4pm is not ideal :P
