PLEASE BOOST: I recently migrated from @atomicpoet to @[email protected], but unfortunately, I lost about 5,000 followers in the process. I knew that migrating would come with some risks, but I never anticipated losing so many amazing followers.

If you used to follow me but somehow got left behind, I would really appreciate it if you could spare a moment to re-follow me at @[email protected]. Your support means the world to me, and I'd love to continue sharing my journey with you. Thanks a bunch!

We may have to incur some downtime tomorrow, starting at 8 AM Pacific Time and ending within a few hours (hopefully less). Shifting some things around with the servers that run ScyllaDB, specifically, disk file system optimizations. This'll make things go from fast to suuuuuper fast!! #Firefish #FirefishSocial ​​

WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The server will probably be slow for the next couple hours or so as it catches up on 2 days of missed federation

Firefish.social will be going down in 5 minutes to begin the upgrade to ScyllaDB
AdminSep 24, 2023
Preparations are DONE. The server will likely have to be down for 2-3 hours, so...

(for reference, I'm in PDT)

ScyllaDB is happening tonight. Get ready for everything to feel faster, smoother, and less error-ey.

RE: https://firefish.social/notes/9ju6n6pnolftz1b9

In the next 2 to 3 days, Firefish.social will be switching from PostgreSQL to ScyllaDB for storing notes (posts) and their related data. As you may know, the way timelines are built (as inherited from Misskey) is very slow and inefficient and buggy, and this problem has been exacerbated for a while on Firefish.social. This completely changes how notes are stored and how timelines are built, and in testing, these changes have been shown to be more efficient than the previous methods by an extremely significant factor. I'd like to extend my extreme gratitude to @namekuji for developing [this branch](https://git.joinfirefish.org/firefish/firefish/-/merge_requests/10563), as a team member on Firefish, they've done some frankly incredible work and deserve recognition for this feat and everything else they've done for Firefish. $[jelly ❤️] ~🐦

Fetching this specific post was bugged when refederating, but I want to extend my thanks to @victor and their mod team for owning up to their mistake, apologizing, and overall handling the situation in a very mature way. ❤️
