I'm part of the problem. How's it going guys?
Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that's fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out
Its fitting for Reddit to give multiple hugs of death as it ends brings back fond memories of crushed servers
I don't really know how this system works but if I'm on one instance looking at stuff on another does that help at all? Is stuff cached to help spread out the load?
Yeah, like I'm on sh.itjust.works and subscribed to this community, so when people make posts on [email protected] those get synced and cached on sh.itjust.works, so whenever people on this server scroll through memes it puts load on sh.itjust.works instead of on lemmy.ml.
That's the impression I got from the devs and admins here, but I'm not certain my impressions are correct or what kind of impact external users posting to beehaw communities impacts beehaw's instance
Our current coding work should help, but ya it's not been an easy time for us server admins, when reddit fucks up so bad that half the site tries to join the fediverse.
Thank you for your hard work, and sorry for being part of the reddit hoarde 😂
But seriously, thank you 👍
Its no probs! Just glad we made something that people are getting some use out of.
I'm part of your woes, so sorry, but at the same time don't stress! I'm good with server instability. I do tech professionally, with contracts. You ain't signed no contracts so feel free to tell us to fuck off so you can sleep and relax.
I think partly the problem is that they are trying to join the largest instances... There are many smaller ones but people think they are not as good.
Me too!
