Wow... a lot of servers are being very slow right now! I guess more even more people are signing up on here 😮

Mastodon.social and mastodon.online are being hammered especially hard.

Don't panic if your server seems unresponsive, this isn't normal on here, it's a temporary thing due to the influx of new members continuing to grow.

Normally there's a steady stream of new members and the servers work fine. This is an unusual unprecedentedly large event 😅

@feditips is there a good resource for a new small server admin on what dynamics affect Mastodon server load the most?

🚨 PSA: If people you know are signing up to Mastodon, please tell them not to sign up on mastodon.social or mastodon.online!

The only reason mastodon.social is in so many people's minds is because it was the first Masto server, but there is nothing special about it. You can interact with just as many people from other servers including the smallest servers. See joinmastodon.org/servers

(For example, my @homegrown account is on a server with no other members, but has over a thousand followers.)

@feditips I didn't, still don't really, know the differences between the servers. I scrolled through the list and liked the URL of mastodon.social so I picked it.

@feditips Is it at all a consideration / worry that smaller instances might shut down requiring a migration?

@feditips I figured as much that servers were hit particularly hard due to the influx of the people from #Twitter.

But let's have some patience and faith that everything will turn out A-OK! 🤞

@feditips So I’m having trouble with my #Twitter people finding me on mas.to. Any suggestions on how we can find each other?

@feditips I've said it elsewhere - this is because idiot boy Musk bought Twitter

@feditips Here to check Mastodon as my Twitter alternative. I choose mastodon.social because it seemed to have a lot of users, then saw it recommended on a Fast Company post about setting up a Mastodon account.
