There is a huge influx of reddit refugees who are not using the platform. This new userbase is taxing on the current infrastructure

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

We're thankful for your not easy job!

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 👍

Oh, good. Not just me. Even got a 502 earlier.

I wonder, will there ever be a user cap in order to keep things sustainable?

[–] PurrJPro@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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
