I’ve been getting a lot of lag on the site and want to know if it’s something anybody else is experiencing lag as well
yes; reddit hug of death. we’re basically as optimized as can be so it’s just riding out the storm at this point. we’ve been proud of uptime so far and the lack of errors. posts are still going through, you might just need to give them a bit and refresh
We’re thankful for your not easy job!
Y’all are doing a great job! If you decide to do a “health report” of the servers after things quiet a bit I think it would be an interesting discussion and good way for the community to think about any steps that should be addressed before July 1st, especially with better information based on the usage that’s occurring.
after things quiet a bit
I highly doubt things will quiet anytime soon
There is a huge influx of reddit refugees who are not using the platform. This new userbase is taxing on the current infrastructure
Definitely an influx of users from reddit today. Honestly I’m impressed it’s holding up as well as it is atm. It’s a bit slower than usual, taking 3-5 seconds to load posts, but everything is still working 👍
I think with Reddit being down today all those new beehaw users are actually using the instance today
Yeah, my posts & replies keep giving me a longer wait time. I grew up on dial-up internet, though, so it doesn’t bother me too much.
I figured that the lag was because of the migration.
Yeah. Using Jerboa I couldn’t reach my account. Logged of and now it works fine. Tried logging in through a browser on beehaw.org and nothing happens.
Update: Tried again through my browser, works now :)
