I’m aware that some of you have been getting some errors loading this instance. This was a configuration that I needed to be adjusted which has since been.
Do be patient if we run into other issues, I’ll be continuously working in the back-end with others to better your overall experience.
Still a lot of capacity available!
edit: For those that are interested in the configuring changes. I was using the default lemmy configuration for the nginx worker_connections value. This value needed to be raised.
Shout out to @ruud@lemmy.world over at lemmy.world for helping me out.
Users should spread out across instances - that is the entire point of being distributed and federated.
Absolutely. At the same time, when you have a bunch of users migrating from a centralized platform who don’t quite get the fediverse stuff yet, they’re likely going to go to well-populated instances.
Hopefully as things progress messaging around this point will penetrate with new folks (like me!)
Existing users should spread out across instances. (I should do that too to start with)
We can’t blame new user for not knowing that they should spread across the federation. By definition they don’t know what they are doing so they are playing safe and stay on one the biggest (safest) instance. It’s natural
On the other hand existing users should probably try to move across the federation to make space for the new users
