Apologies for downtime much of yesterday. We'll be investigating options to prevent similar downtime in the future.

@Violet @bryan @Violet

Yes, I can go ahead and delete it.

@roldyclark I'll keep that in mind. It would be nice to up the bus factor on rva.party just a bit.

@bryan

Okay, if you don't mind relaying on one of

https://relay.mastodon.host/inbox
https://relay.social.seattle.wa.us/inbox

those are the ones rva.party is currently relaying on. Most of what shows on our federated timeline is English but I think we get some French and German showing up occasionally.

@bryan From what I understand the relays matter going forward as posts are created rather than doing anything retroactively.

That said, would you mind saying which relay you hooked to so that RVA instances are a bit better federated than they would be otherwise?

@Violet @bryan

I don't know what to tell you as far as not getting accepted.

https://rva.party/@Violet shows an empty but valid profile, and @Violet reads as a valid user.

I do know the server got a bit wonky for a while in 2021, but those issues have been since resolved.

Okay, it took a little longer than planned, but we're back and running on Mastodon version 4.0.1.

It looks like nothing broke in the process.

Finally migrated up to v3.5.3 and some better database storage. Hopefully this instance will be online more regularly after the cleanup from these updates is done.

Okay, server is rebooted. Hopefully this should get the server working for a little while as I start digging into why Mastodon is having issues.

In the meantime, welcome

who have all joined in the past few months.

Once the admin is a bit less slammed by life this instance will get more interesting and stable.

rva.party had some issues earlier today. I'll be updating to 3.4.0 tonight,
