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 @[email protected] over at lemmy.world for helping me out.

Are things scaling well then? Is it still alright to recommend new people come here or would you rather hold off for a bit now?

[–] TheDude 14 points 1 year ago (16 children)

I figured out the storage issue last night, the instance is only at about 20% utilization so we should be good to take on a good amount more. We probably will need to do some more tweaking as we grow but for now its looking pretty good!

Wow. 20% usage at 2.4k users is pretty damn amazing.

[–] TheDude 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

its not so much about how many registered users as it is about how many online users. The online user count is what adds fuel to the fire!

Oh wow so it's really the transactions per minute, not so much the baseline set of data?

[–] PCChipsM922U 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, basically the problem is number of calls (requests) per minute. If it's not too many, everything works fine, if it overloads, you get 500 errors 🤷.

Including calls to federated communities, yes?

[–] PCChipsM922U 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure about that, but most probably yes, since if you post on federated communities, your username pops up as [email protected] and the post is saved on your instance (from what I know).
