Having it brought to my attention, and as someone who never got into twitter, I figured I'd give it a shot and see if it fit my desires better.
So far it mostly just doesn't work, so that's neat.
- sigmar 4y agoWhat specifically do you mean by "mostly just doesn't work"?
- whimsicalism 4y agoPretty much all instances are having massive issues keeping up with the new traffic.
- gpm 4y agoI've had pretty much no issues, but the (10k user) instance I've been on has been closed to new user registration except by invite (from any existing user) the whole time this twitter thing has been happening. Generally I'd assume that any big open instance is going to have scaling pains right now, but not all instances.
- Jnr 4y agoI wonder if Mastodon can even scale because of the federation. When I tried running Matrix server, joining any large federated Matrix servers made the server unusable and it had to be stopped. I am not saying it will be the case with Mastodon but I would not be surprised.
- lambdaba 4y agoI couldn't finish sign-up because the servers seem overwhelmed (confirmation email) But I'm wondering how something like Mastodon could scale to people having millions of followers.
- bojan 4y agoSame here, and even better, I'm not sure if I'm not able to do what I want because I don't understand how it should be done, or because the site is broken due to the sudden spike in traffic it is experiencing.
