So a quick update on where we're at for folks not following the discord. The stability issues plaguing us over the last couple of days seem to have been fixed, touch wood. Thanks to Arch and VictiniStar101 on our Discord for keeping me moving forward when I was out of ideas, spinning in circles, and becoming unproductive.
However, in order to get the latest accessibility fixes, we're still running development code. I'm not comfortable with that for any kind of official release, and I would warn you all to continue to expect weird issues moving forward.
Assuming things remain stable, our next steps are:
If you want to help with any of these next steps, reach out! Especially on the more visual aspects, all assistance is appreciated.
As far as I can tell, my instance is nowhere near max database connections. However, after about two hours, I always get errors like "WARN Error encountered while processing the incoming HTTP request: lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Timeout occurred while waiting for a slot to become available" if we're under any load at all. Does anyone know what's going on here? This doesn't seem to be a resource use issue. It happens with the default docker configuration as shown in the docs. It happens if I spin up a test instance and generate a bunch of load, so it seems perfectly replicable.
Edit: The solution for me was building the docker images myself. Didn't matter if I used the official releases from dockerhub, the development images, whatever. It still crashed with this error eventually. I've been up with the images I built myself for eight or so hours, and we seem fine.
So as an FYI, if you're also leaving Twitter, there's a healthy, active, and well moderated (if I do say so myself) pony Mastodon over at equestria.social. There's also pony.social, run by equally good folks. I don't think we have a peertube or Pixelfed yet though. Does anyone know of one I'm missing?
