      ah ok thanks for the update. I thought maybe you were getting severely increased traffic today or something!

      I got similar errors when I was running out of disk space. Maybe not the same problem you had but just mentioning

        I wonder how much disk space the big instances are using… I’m only at a dozen users. I have subscribed to most of the largest communities across the “threadiverse” so my instance is caching a copy of everything happening across those. I’m under 2GB space used so far.

        I imagine it’s mostly the media uploads. I think that doesn’t get cached, just the text. But anything a user uploads will get saved to their instance’s storage. I think.

            Huh, that’s it? I think my free 150GB on my server will do nicely then. I plan to cap my user count at 100 (active) so it doesn’t get out of hand.

          I was also under the impression that instances don’t cache remote images, but I’m seeing a lot of cached images under volumes/pictrs/files.

    I noticed it earlier too, I chalked it up to it dealing with a big spike of traffic or something but I don’t know what was really the cause

    I had been having a bunch of issues attempting to connect different communities from there to my instance - so it wouldn’t surprise me xD

        Indeed - today something finally toppled in the internet realms. I felt it, and I created my first instance and joined. I’m sure many others will to.

        I even ran into a few difficulties setting up my instance not yet documented but added a few comments to the relevant github threads. It’s happening, and fast.
