Growing Pains?

Anyone else getting some random errors and 500s on here recently?

Hey all,

I just posted an update here https://sh.itjust.works/post/49787

I probably should have listened to my gut and not have went to bed last night.

Should be fixed now, it was related to an nginx setting that needed to be tuned.
- I'd hope sleep takes priority.
- You got some monitoring in place? Can offer some assistance with monitoring ideas if you need, is part of what I do.
  
  Also take care of yourself. We can go outside if we can’t log in. Or go back to work..
- bed is good! and a little downtime is good for the soul. thanks for all that you do <3
  
  I want paid downtime for my soul 🫥
- You gotta take care of yourself or you can't take care of anything else.
- Just happy you have a server running. No rush, get the sleep you need, and thanks for powering things (:
Yeah, this is specifically on sh.itjust.works for those viewing this thread elsewhere, but I'm sure other instances are struggling too. I'm not even seeing 500s, just a generic Firefox "Cannot complete request" on mobile and connection resets on Jerboa.

Edit: ah, yep, here come the 500s mixed in there as well.
- We are absolutely testing server capacity right now. And the reddit blackout is just starting. Gotta be prepared.
  
  Edit: Apparently we are not testing server capacity just yet, there was a configuration that needed to be updated on the back end, as per the Dude.
  
  The blackout is currently happening at least in 5000 of the 7000 subs, I assume that's why the errors are happening now.
I think it'd be smart to make a discord or some kind of alternate channel in case this instance were to go down. We've gone from 0 to 2,000 users in a week, it's important to have a channel to keep people updated if the server goes down. That way the Dude could at least let people know he's working on it or whatever is going on.
- A mailing list would suffice I think... but, than again, people don't check mail that often.
Yep experiencing the same
I know this is an older post but I'll comment anyway.

I haven't been getting any errors, but sometimes when I browse, I'd be scrolling through the comments of a post, and suddenly the post would change.

I didn't dig into it much, but if it starts happening more often, I'll record my network traffic (for the browser) and attach the .har file.
- Its a known bug just have to wait for the fix.
a few here & there
I am seeing the same.

Do these Lemmy instances have any kind of page where you can see the user and community count on the instance level?
- Yea it's at the bottom of the sidebar
  
  I see some numbers on the side-bar on the right but those look more like community numbers than instance numbers
Yeah, since yesterday. 50/50 this post even makes it...
- It made it!! 😎
Yeah, experiencing the same as well.

This is gonna get quickly out of hand... there should have been an announcement that you should NOT join the most popular instances and just scroll down the list to join an instance that is preferably at the very bottom of the list.
- When I joined this one was one of the smaller ones lol. This instance has been alive for like 6 days.
  
  Yeah, was, past tense 😂.
  
  Loved the domain name, that's why I joined 😂.
Is anyone else having trouble posting? I've had a lot of times when posts/comments fail to go through ("post" button stays as a spinning circle). Sometimes I can get it after a couple times, but I've been stubbornly trying to reply to one comment in c/games all day with no success, despite posting a thread there and making some other posts.
- Yup just ran into this problem. First reply gave me the endless spin. Second reply on the same sub went through no problem.
- Both on here and lemmy.world, yes. Comments and edits successfully post, but the spinner sometimes goes forever.
Login issue on mobile mostly, but that was also experienced on lemmy.ml as well.
