I've doubled my server load from one user.... to two.

How big of servers are you using? Is the load just from syncing with pixelfed.social?
Pi 5 with a 1TB NVMe strapped to it. Pixelfed, so far, is sipping resources; Mastodon, on the other hand....
Pretty impressive you're running it on a pi, even with how nice the 5 is 👍
Are you running all of the services at grey.fail on the same pi?
Nope. I'm running three Pies and a custom UNRAID build.
Share the loooaaaaad.
Damn even beating Bluesky, let's gooooo

all this pixelfed talk is making me want to host my own instance.... I think I'll try to get one up this evening and reply to this comment once I manage to make an account and post somethkng
I’m now hosting my own Pixelfed instance (as of Tuesday). I really like being in charge of my own server…
The drawback I’m seeing is that Explore and search sometimes yield no results.
Like searching for “Nikon” just now results in “no content found” 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve wanted to for a long time but I want photos to be saved losslessly. I don’t want everything converted to JPEG.
Some instances like pixelfed.art have manual sign-up confirmation so I guess that doesn’t scale particularly well. On the other hand it prevents sudden spikes in active users. 😀 The sign-up queue was 8000 there the other day.
Ouch!
More than Bluesky? Interesting. Did something happen at Instagram/Snapchat for this to happen?
Meta killed fact checking
i'm curious, too. the vague idea i got was that the app just launched, people are pissed at meta, and the word pixelfed was banned on a site, causing a Streisand effect. i could just be spreading rumors, though.
I joined .social and opened my account / profile. I can scroll the feed and see posts but every time i try and post the app hangs for a few minutes then crashes. I had assumed it was a load thing but it's been nearly 48hrs now.
Looks like it's still a load thing:

Same, a bit sad experience with login failures because the authentication process timeout. And slow refresh, hanging when scrolling... I am considering leaving social to go another instance. The point is like on Mastodon : if you are not on the main instance you will miss content, by design you get that split view of federated instances... It's anoying.
Try Pixelix.
Pinging @jgrim@discuss.online since you run social.photo as a sister site to discuss.online
I see signups but no activity. I'm not really sure it's growing but people are trying it.
