Hello @shadow@lemmy.ca , it seems like a few people are having 502 errors?

[shadow@lemmy.ca]

Thanks for the heads up, I'll look shortly. Might need to bump the piefed or db vm specs up.

Edit: I've cranked our piefed db server from 4 cores up to 16. Webservers seem to be handling the load fine, but DB was a little high.

They seem more receptive than every other subreddit lol

Big week for PieFed!

You guys should make a ~Canada feed and share it in those comments complaining about too many US posts

Anyone here got a piefed.ca account?

Trial and error, my previous posts there got deleted.

I've been getting a better idea of what works and what doesn't, it also very much depends on the sub you're posting to.
And a good image is everything.

Well done!

Canada has two settings:

1. I'm sorry
2. You'll be sorry

Just a heads up, Reddit might shadowban Fediverse links.

I used to post links to Lemmy and the Fediverse and eventually they would get zero views.

When I would break the links https ://jointhefediverse. net, https ://join-lemmy. org/ the post would get views.

It's possible I was being paranoid but keep that in mind.

[ek-hou-van-braai@piefed.social]

It's already happened, I don't post links unless the post already has lots of traction.

It's not just the Fediverse, posts that have links are shown less in the Reddit feed.
