Nice, really liking the update! Some questions about development for the fediverse: Is the code for running Lemmy written by one or person or a smome core team?
Is there any decision making process as to which features will be worked on in the next release or which bugs to prioritize?
In theory what would happen if the original developers started making changes that other people don't agree with? Would we get a fork then where servers have to choose to adopt it or not?
Thanks for the update. I especially like the transparency on not only the βupgradeβ itself but also the potential issues encountered, together with the solutions. Seems rare nowadays, or Iβm just seeing less and less people doing this.
Really like seeing posts like this that explain what's going on. Thanks for all the hard work!
My first comment on here! Thanks for creating this, this looks fantastic and a great Reddit alternative. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I love it here. Sending good vibes
Fuck yeah upgrade hype
Great stuff!
I can finally login!
Awesome! Loading issues are still the bane of Lemmy's existence though, or at least it is for me and my experience with Lemmy. Everything just loads so slow. Sorting is still broken as well. Communities that I KNOW that are active just show as blank for me no matter what I sort by.
It keeps logging me out, plus when I log in, alarmingly other users' profile names flash in the top right corner for a second.
I like it.
The site feels a lot better to me, and seems significantly gentler in terms of browser resource consumption.
Not sure what fixed it (I'm sure though on my side I did nothing since the last failed login) but the login form finally works again!
This looks like itβs exposed some weaknesses, and it sounds like the team has it under control.
Iβm moving right now and canβt dedicate time to development, but once Iβm up and running I should be able to start contributing.
Scalability is always a concern with these sites, so thereβs plenty to do to improve that
Is there a way to follow the update status while this instance is down?
I knew the update was coming, so I expected the downtime, but I could not find any info about when it was expected to be up and running again?
Thanks for the great and ongoing work put into managing this endeavor!
Have you considered running your Lemmy instance on more than a single machine? If it is possible to run two lemmy containers anyway (ie, lemmy is not a singleton), why not run them on separate machines? With load balancing you could achieve a more stable experience. It might be cheaper to have many mediocre machines rather than a single powerful one too, as well as more sustainable long-term (vertical vs horizontal scaling).
The downside would be that the set-up would be less obvious than with Docker compose and you would probably need to get into k8s/k3s/nomad territory in order to orchestrate a proper fleet.
thank you for letting us know behind-the-scene stuffs.
me myself is a sysadmin and really like story of successfully scaling up servers. very satisfy to hear.
once again, thank you!
I can't login from my main browser even if I clear the cache and cookies, if I use other browser it works
Edit: I fixed it just by changing my browser language to English and restarting it, hope this is useful for someone.
Also, thanks to Ruud and team for the hard work, everything seems to work really well and fast.
I really enjoy how lemmy is growing!
We're alive!!!
Thank you :)
Is there a issue with the api? ( Because the api wrapper lemmy-js-client doesnt work on login. ) I tried it yesterday but not today yet. I will test it when i can :)
We're back baby!
Special thanks to the other guys for helping make this update possible. Site is snappier than ever and the UI looks fantastic.
0.18 looks a lot better. Far better use of screen real estate on PCs.
Lag is still very prevalent though. Page loading, upvote delay. It's frustrating.
Live comments (like on new Reddit) does not seem to be working on 0.18, so I have to manually refresh the page each time. That also resets the comment sort to Hot, causing further annoyance.
Working well here and can use Jerboa again. Although wefwef is really growing on me!
Edit: couldn't post from Jerboa, got network error. But wefwef worked.
