every single time I send a beehaw link to my wife on discord, we get 502 error for 5-10 minutes after, as if we were being rate limited? I'm a bit lost what's going on

Mika@beehaw.org to Beehaw Support@beehaw.org – 3 points –

unless everyone else is getting those same errors and they just happen to perfectly correlate with when i send a link on discord

anyone have any ideas?

I really hope I am not being annoying by asking this here, but I don't quite get what primetime entails? I am assuming that the paragraph talks about fediverse not being built for large scale? Apologies once again

lemmy was designed for exactly the number of users who used it before the reddit influx (and exactly the sort of tech-savvy user who would find lemmy and think it desirable) and not a user more, and now it's having to accommodate about 10x that number and people who expect it to slot into the hole reddit used to fill for them. how running this place has transpired since June began is genuinely less of a "stress-test" and more of a "systemic revelation that everything here is designed in a way that is completely antithetical to scale or baseline usability"

I am very grateful for your words and the insight you've given me into this federation. Thank you :)

“systemic revelation that everything here is designed in a way that is completely antithetical to scale or baseline usability”

Are you talking about AP and fediverse here or just specifically lemmy-software? I heard stories that the codebase is kind of a mess but I haven't checked it myself, and no clue if kbin is in any better state.
