Public Service Warning
Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.
It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.
We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
@mastodonmigration are there any recommendations for creating additional mastodon servers? Specifically hardware?
It all depends on how large you want to become. I recommend making a plan and setting bounds for your system. Like 100, 1000, 10000 users. NOT MORE.
Think of rules and audience.

Good luck and consider staying small :)
