Also got this myself… Seeming like the API is throwing errors despite working (…what?! >.>). Taking a look

👋 Apologies for the late reply, but we have been investigating and believe that this isn’t an isolated case.

It initially appears like our database is being overloaded due to the vast queries that Lemmy runs for generating statistics, so we’re trialing a hardware upgrade for a new database server backed by NVMe drives to hopefully improve the throughput.

We’re not quite ready to go live with it yet, we’re still ensuring everything is in working order and the database replicates successfully from the live copy to the new database reliably.

We’re hoping to have this in place before the end of September and we’ll post an announcement for maintenance when we go to do the switchover, as the change will also affect furry.engineer and pawb.fun.

Fixed: https://pawb.social/post/11661170

We’re looking to perform an upgrade this weekend to see if this alleviates the issue. There seem to be quite a lot of problems lately with emails and comments where they either don’t send, or return an unhelpful “this is a toast” prompt… which isn’t useful. We’ll have a follow-up announcement soon.

Yes! This is on our radar for the next service we set up! We’re working to migrate and stabilize the database before rolling out new services, but expect that’ll occur this weekend, so hopefully before the end of the year we should have some news on the Pixelfed front :3

Should be fixed now, if folks could give it a try again!

As a test, have a picture of a sandwich!

If anyone has been struggling to get a verification email:

• Please ensure you check your spam folder (We’ve been having some mail delivery issues with AWS)
• Send an email to network@pawb.social using the same email you created your account with, and include your username, and we’ll manually approve it in the database

We’re working to figure out what’s going on but it seems to be a mix of issues

Really glad to hear! Please do let us know if you encounter any problems! (CC @natebluehooves@pawb.social :3)

Thank you for doing your part, and thank you for the cute sticker!! :3

Oops, that’s entirely valid and I should have explained. A limit means that the instance is effectively hidden from view on furry.engineer and pawb.fun. All of the content still exists and can be found if searching or interacting (like following a user on tenforward.social), but won’t appear on the public timelines and won’t be recommended to our users.

If someone from tenforward.social tries to mention someone on furry.engineer or pawb.fun, and they aren’t being followed by that person, the message may not be visible. Similarly, if someone from tenforward.social tries to follow a furry.engineer, or pawb.fun user, they’ll instead send a follow request that you’ll need to approve.
