We've now enabled scraper deterrance mode. This mode is just for web pages and should theoretically help stop various crawlers from scraping aggressively.
Let us know if this affects your access. You can read more in the GoToSocial docs: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/scraper_deterrence/
We just did another storage migration to optimize costs while keeping things secure. I tried to minimize the downtime, but it looks like it still took over an hour this time. Everything's back up now, so if you're having trouble accessing anything, just let me know :) Hope that didn't interrupt your browsing for too long!
Your admin
You can now edit a status and check its edit history on gotosocial.social!
We're back! Just did a few hours of maintenance on the storage. Apologize for interrupting your browsing if you tried to visit gotosocial.social during that time.
Now you can check out and manage your Access Tokens in the settings panel!
Users, if you've been trying to log in to gotosocial.social and hit a snag, the latest update should fix that. Big thanks to @awoo for the heads-up!
gotosocial.social now federates with over 10K instances, according to the statistics in the homepage!
Hey everyone, today we ran into a bit of an issue while updating gotosocial.social, which resulted in the site being down for the past 6 hours. The problem has been resolved now, and no data was lost or damaged. Still, sorry for disrupting your Fediverse browsing experience 🙂
A quick reminder for other #GoToSocial admins using snapshot builds: if you're using PostgreSQL, please consider not updating to d8113c1 for now as the db migration is likely incompatible with PostgreSQL. Keep an eye on Issue #3880 for updates on the fix.
Hello users, we had a major performance issue with local storage earlier, which forced us to take the server offline for emergency maintenance. As a result, gotosocial.social was down for about the last 6 hours. Everything's fixed and back online now. Sorry for the disruption!
If you were seeing slow loading times or timeouts before, those should be eased. Please let me know if you're still experiencing any problems :)
