I have hope for Mastodon but in the past week it's been hammered with way more load than it's ready for (the main mastodon.social site).
so at the moment, they maybe can borrow Twitter's fail whale until they can get their scaling up accomplished.
- stormbrew 4y agoThe nice thing about it is that since I'm on a different server it still works fine for me even when mastodon.social is falling over.
- zzzeek 4y agoright, but are you having problems /delays seeing statuses from folks who come from mastodon.social?
- gpm 4y agoPresumably? Short of coordinating with someone to check I'm not sure how I'd even notice. (I'm a different person than who you replied to, but have had the same experience, the instance I'm on is perfectly responsive)
- stormbrew 4y agoAs with sibling, it's possible but it hasn't happened in any way that bothers me. Seems like it's just CAP theory in action. I don't think consistency is the corner of that triangle to optimize for in this case.
- OctopusLupid 4y agoI am on a smaller server but I'm seeing delays from the big servers, yeah. I'm trying to advocate for people to find smaller servers (e.g. < 10k users) but it's something that really needs improving in the UX (that is, encouraging people to use smaller servers instead of joining one big server. I try to recommend https://fediverse.party https://fediverse.party or https://joinfediverse.com https://joinfediverse.com).
- schmichael 4y agoCoincidentally as I was trying to reply to you HN gave me: > We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry! I kind of miss the fail whale. I don't need every service to have 100% uptime. HN going down for an hour or two every day would probably boost productivity. :)
