We have been having a lot of server issues today where I have had to reboot the server every hour or so.
I have seen there is a lot of reports of scaling issues with the federation that they say may cause issues.
To test if this is the problem we are experiencing, I have turned federation off for a few hours, maybe overnight.
I will let you know as soon as I know more.
In the meantime, I apologize for the inconvenience.
I did notice the website going in and out all night.
Also the number of federated posts just jumped big time. We were at something like Ninety thousand total just a couple weeks ago and now we’re at over 125,000 new OPs.
Yeah I have been up working on it since 2am this morning.
Not much to show for my efforts yet sadly.
Onwards and upwards we go.
My posting had slowed down because of it but hey it’s a marathon, not a sprint, and it seems to be back on track now.
The server is running a lot smoother today compared to yesterday. I have been doing a lot of small things tonight.
I do truly appreciate all of this hard work considering how difficult the situation must be with the sudden influx in the Fediverse and all the moving parts that must go with this.
Persistence conquers all :-)
