I'm curious if other users are experiencing timeouts reaching midwest.social several times a day? I'm browsing through the summit and connect Android apps, for context. I'm unable to load anything (/all feed and posts) several times a day on this account so I just wanted to see if others are experiencing the same thing.

Edit: I hope my tone didn't come off as ungrateful, that was not my intent! I just wanted to sanity check if there was something wrong with my network or client(s). Thank you seahorse for your hard work!

We're all dangling from the whiskers of some true power admins, pros running instances from home and carefully chosen cloud server racks, and yet when thousands of users throw themselves at an open source project, shit happens. Ruud and his peers probably understand what all that was, I certainly don't.

My sympathies are with everyone who picked up the promise of the Fediverse, and hosted their own thing without 10 years of experience as a professional server admin. The nature of this place is that things might break, and somebody won't be able to look at it until they come home from work. My patience is long, here.
