One user, @Pat said the server is a bit sluggish for him today, but its fast for me.
Anyone else out there seeing a slow response from the server?
@freemo @Pat have you enabled the instance ticker? i think it does some kind of request which times out.
cf.
https://github.com/InstanceTicker/InstanceTicker/issues/11
Found it. Changed to Mastodon default Theme (dark)" and now the pages are loading quickly.
More data points...
- I pinged all the IP4 addresses resolved from qoto.org and lb.qoto.org and they'e in the 20's ms.
- Tried to load video.qoto.org and the page loads are intermittently slow, but I think that may be related to snatching the videos from the various peertube instances.
It is almost certainly the ticker's domain not resolving which gets you stuck on DNS resolution until it timesout.
My guess it is the issue with the tickers, the domain is probably down so its stuck trying to resolve it. does the new theme have tickers?
@Pat nice :) i already had the screenshot prepared ;)
@freemo i think the instance ticker needs an update, cf. the issue i linked a few posts back. maybe just changing the domain works too.
