We are absolutely testing server capacity right now. And the reddit blackout is just starting. Gotta be prepared.

Edit: Apparently we are not testing server capacity just yet, there was a configuration that needed to be updated on the back end, as per the Dude.

The blackout is currently happening at least in 5000 of the 7000 subs, I assume that's why the errors are happening now.

Wow that's insane! 86% of subs are private rn according to their stats

That's 86% of the subs that said they would go dark, AFAIK. Not total reddit subs, I think there are something like 20k subs in reddit.

Ohh that makes sense. In hindsight it stands to reason that they have more than 7200 subreddits. Still though, even if 7200 go dark that's a sizable chunk of a redditor's daily consumption. I can only hope that the majority of those will stay private for more than 48h, probably wont do any good but it would at least send a strong message.
