Reddit chose a very bad time to mess up, right when we’re in the middle of coding some of our biggest performance improvements. They timed this perfectly to make things as stressful as possible for nutomic and I lol.
Depending on how bad the perf is, it may be worth it throwing the instance on a real big machine to take the load to buy time for the optimization work without turning many users away. Contributions should increase with the flood of users. If a big machine could mask the problems of course. Maybe they’re too bad to mask. You probably know.
I’ve been busy too recently and I just noticed yesterday the influx of new users… So I’ve updated and upgraded the server a bit. Hopefully I can keep my instance running smoothly and contribute a little bit that way!
Has there been any work / planning around an ability for third parties to setup broadcast servers to help distribute the load? I know that kind of thing is extremely difficult but maybe it would be a reasonable effort for handling read only requests. I haven’t had a chance to look into lemmy’s architecture yet so not sure if this is a valid question or not :)

I just discovered kbin which looks very nice. Do you plan to share the like/dislike feature with them so that accounts can be cross-used?

Great work and good luck!!!

Not that I know of.
