Definitely an influx of users from reddit today. Honestly I'm impressed it's holding up as well as it is atm. It's a bit slower than usual, taking 3-5 seconds to load posts, but everything is still working 👍
yes; reddit hug of death. we're basically as optimized as can be so it's just riding out the storm at this point. we've been proud of uptime so far and the lack of errors. posts are still going through, you might just need to give them a bit and refresh
I see there's a new Lemmy version out, but I guess you understandably don't want to take the site offline to install + test it, even though the db optimisations will be very handy. Or am I just being impatient? 😉
edit: the new release was only six hours ago, I'm definitely just being impatient
Y'all are doing a great job! If you decide to do a "health report" of the servers after things quiet a bit I think it would be an interesting discussion and good way for the community to think about any steps that should be addressed before July 1st, especially with better information based on the usage that's occurring.
Probably. I hope that people start spreading to other instances cause, as nice as it is to have so many new people, it becomes a bit bloated. And besides, everybody using just one server kinda takes the jpy out of the fediverse
