Pixelfed is seeing a surge in popularity. Anyone that’s currently running one, have you run into any roadbumps, or have things gone smoothly? pixelfed.social has had scaling issues, but maybe it’s easier if you’re just federating to that instance instead of handling the load from user logins?
Reminder to donate if you’re using one of those servers btw:

That #Pixelfed is now in the Top 10 of most downloaded APPs in the USA, also means that we, as a Fediverse community, have to come together.
If you see a link somewhere, PLEASE support your PIXELFED server. Even when it is just with $2, $10 or $50.
Their operational costs are surely skyrocketing and we have to make sure that this does not become a Fediverse debacle but a Fediverse success story.

I’ve doubled my server load from one user… to two.
How big of servers are you using? Is the load just from syncing with pixelfed.social?
Pi 5 with a 1TB NVMe strapped to it. Pixelfed, so far, is sipping resources; Mastodon, on the other hand…
Pretty impressive you’re running it on a pi, even with how nice the 5 is 👍
Are you running all of the services at grey.fail on the same pi?
Nope. I’m running three Pies and a custom UNRAID build.
Share the loooaaaaad.
