Anyone noticing slowness/posting issues with Steemit?
Slowness the past week
Has anyone else noticed slowness with Steemit the past week? I've been having issues where my posts get lost, general slowness and sometimes I can't even access the website. Also other websites like steemfollower are frequently giving the error that the Steemit API is down.
Anyone else noticing it?
Blessing in disguise?
If Steemit is experiencing these issues the main cause is likely a influx of new/active users which will be great in the long run. It seems like the platform just needs to scale up for the new demand they are seeing. I am excited to see what's to come in the next few weeks/months!
I read in another comment that zuckerberg is behind it.
Just a tip: anyone creating a post should save it before posting. I tried to post earlier and the post was lost (never posted) when I clicked on the post button. I had to recreate it.
Go to the steemfollower discord channel. They were discussing what happened today (when everything went down), and it is probably related. In a nutshell, the steemit developers tried to integrate something, it failed due to a third-party supplier issue, and so they had to roll everything back.
