   Pictures and videos should now be loading fast again on mastodon.social. The load balancer was hitting the limits of its hardware too so I had to upgrade it #devops

     @Gargron Do you, by any chance, have an overview of currently in use machine types and their roles? as a DevOp I am curious about the setup.

     @Gargron Thank you! It actually seems like the entire mastodon.social server is pretty sluggish again today (I know you just upgraded it a few days ago, and I assume you're scrambling to beef up bandwidth/etc even more now). Beyond switching to a different instance or signing up for your patreon to help fund furhter upgrades (which I did the other day), is there anything else we can do?

     @Gargron Thank you for your hard work, really appreciated. Do you start to see a limit for scaling mastodon in term of hardware usage vs user count or for now its still working (as long as hardware is available)?

     @Gargron I would migrate off to a less populous instance but it would be a bit sad to lose my early posts (granted they're mostly tiny anyway).

     What's the technical limitation that stops them from being movable?

     @Gargron I've noticed that tapping on post hashtags just causes a timeout for me here on mastodon.social. I've tried other accounts on other instances and have had better luck - assuming this is because we're in one of the largest and more OG of instances, but just wanted to let you know via a lowly user's experience such as my own.

     @Gargron Hi @Gargron,
     I would like the following functionality in mastodon:
     when uploading an image containing IPTC/IIM and/or XMP metadata, then automatically populate the caption field with the content of the IPTC/IIM Caption/Abstract field (or its XMP equivalent). Just like Flickr does.
     This could be very useful for different projects.
     Best regards.
