Anyone else getting some random errors and 500s on here recently?

Yeah, this is specifically on sh.itjust.works for those viewing this thread elsewhere, but I'm sure other instances are struggling too. I'm not even seeing 500s, just a generic Firefox "Cannot complete request" on mobile and connection resets on Jerboa.

We are absolutely testing server capacity right now. And the reddit blackout is just starting. Gotta be prepared.

Edit: Apparently we are not testing server capacity just yet, there was a configuration that needed to be updated on the back end, as per the Dude.

The blackout is currently happening at least in 5000 of the 7000 subs, I assume that's why the errors are happening now.

Wow that's insane! 86% of subs are private rn according to their stats

[–] Fama@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's 86% of the subs that said they would go dark, AFAIK. Not total reddit subs, I think there are something like 20k subs in reddit.

[–] sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohh that makes sense. In hindsight it stands to reason that they have more than 7200 subreddits. Still though, even if 7200 go dark that's a sizable chunk of a redditor's daily consumption. I can only hope that the majority of those will stay private for more than 48h, probably wont do any good but it would at least send a strong message.

[–] mr_washee_washee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

hope they go dark indefinitely.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

There are over a million subs in reddit and like 140,000 of them are active.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah I didn't even realize it had already begun. I'm praying that this community stays alive, otherwise i gotta find another instance to make an account. Honestly I would love to get a donation link for the Dude but he's too nice to ask for money. Just let us pay you and keep the server from going down bro.

Is that hyperbole or are there actual blackout stats somewhere?
