Dealing with Growth on Mastodon
Leaving this thread here for future reference on Mastodon’s growth and how to deal with it. People are advised to join or move to smaller servers to help manage the load and donate to their admins.
From the second post in the thread:
Start your own instance. We have 8,000 servers hosting over 7 million users on the #Fediverse. Growing by half a million a week NOW, with just today’s level of crazy.
Assume this will 4X or more after sh*t really starts going downhill at Twitter.
Got a spare computer, or a @Raspberry_Pi maybe? Want to use a good managed host to set one up? Put it to use.
