Anyone else getting some random errors and 500s on here recently?

    Yeah, this is specifically on sh.itjust.works for those viewing this thread elsewhere, but I’m sure other instances are struggling too. I’m not even seeing 500s, just a generic Firefox “Cannot complete request” on mobile and connection resets on Jerboa.

      We are absolutely testing server capacity right now. And the reddit blackout is just starting. Gotta be prepared.

      Edit: Apparently we are not testing server capacity just yet, there was a configuration that needed to be updated on the back end, as per the Dude.

            That’s 86% of the subs that said they would go dark, AFAIK. Not total reddit subs, I think there are something like 20k subs in reddit.

              Ohh that makes sense. In hindsight it stands to reason that they have more than 7200 subreddits. Still though, even if 7200 go dark that’s a sizable chunk of a redditor’s daily consumption. I can only hope that the majority of those will stay private for more than 48h, probably wont do any good but it would at least send a strong message.

          Yeah I didn’t even realize it had already begun. I’m praying that this community stays alive, otherwise i gotta find another instance to make an account. Honestly I would love to get a donation link for the Dude but he’s too nice to ask for money. Just let us pay you and keep the server from going down bro.
