Dear all, thank you for your patience throughout today. It appears that our Mastodon server simply got too famous too fast:

One of our users' threads with videos and all got published as top post on #HackerNews, which led to a massive spike in web visitors for us. We wish them lots of happy new followers and hope everything will be back to normal tomorrow. 🤞🫣

Dear eupolicy.social users, we're currently seeing some delay in post delivery on our server and are working to find and fix the problem. Please bear with us until we've done so. Will keep you posted. 🙏

Good morning dear users: This morning we experienced a 2-hour down time of eupolicy.social due to a sudden web server crash.

We have made changes to our setup to ensure automatic recovery in similar cases in the future. Sorry to all our users for any inconvenience that has caused.

Hey ho and Happy New Year 2025 to all eupolicy.social users! 🍾🎉

To start off this new year, we have set up a new place for us to share information with you about things like:

* maintenance and possible downtimes,
* the state of our funding,
* moderation and privacy policies, and

🚀 STARTER PACKS!

We hope that those packs (kindly made possible by @fedidevs) will make onboarding for new users easier.

Our Mastodon server eupolicy.social had a brief unexpected downtime this afternoon (CEST). All is back to normal now.

Apologies if this caused any of you trouble. 🙏

Dear eupolicy.social users, in the past days we have experienced a server issue that led to delays in the sending and loading of posts.

We fixed this yesterday and improved the way our server reacts to events like this in the future.

The server is working off the remaining old posts now, so don't be surprised if you see some older content coming into your timeline :)

Thanks for your patience and continued support!

ℹ️ Pro tip: When you report content that might violate your server's rules, **always** link to the infringing content AND explicitly state which rule you think has been violated.

Without this information, it's very time consuming for #moderators to figure out how to respond.

Thank you for making the #Fediverse a better place!
