Status update July 4th

Just wanted to let you know where we are with Lemmy.world.

Issues

As you might have noticed, things still won't work as desired.. we see several issues:

Performance

  • Loading is mostly OK, but sometimes things take forever
  • We (and you) see many 502 errors, resulting in empty pages etc.
  • System load: The server is roughly at 60% cpu usage and around 25GB RAM usage. (That is, if we restart Lemmy every 30 minutes. Else memory will go to 100%)

Bugs

  • Replying to a DM doesn't seem to work. When hitting reply, you get a box with the original message which you can edit and save (which does nothing)
  • 2FA seems to be a problem for many people. It doesn't always work as expected.

Troubleshooting

We have many people helping us, with (site) moderation, sysadmin, troubleshooting, advise etc. There currently are 25 people in our Discord, including admins of other servers. In the Sysadmin channel we are with 8 people. We do troubleshooting sessions with these, and sometimes others. One of the Lemmy devs, @[email protected] is also helping with current issues.

So, all is not yet running smoothly as we hoped, but with all this help we'll surely get there! Also thank you all for the donations, this helps giving the possibility to use the hardware and tools needed to keep Lemmy.world running!

Using the connect for Lemmy app produces constant Under Maintenance or html code or 504 errors. It seems to load better on Chrome.

The biggest frustration is 502 errors on submit. Sometimes th8ngs go through, sometimes not

My workaround is to submit/browse from federated servers until lemmy.world is running well

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Nice! It feels better now.

I recall that previously we couldn't update jerboa due to it not being compatible with the last server version. Is that updated now, can we update Jerboa?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am using Jerboa right now and I installed just a couple days ago. Must've been silently fixed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

lemmy.world is on 0.18.1 since a couple days ago, that was the problem.

0.17->0.18 changed some APIs, and lemmy.world was sticking with 0.17 for a while due to broken stuff in 0.18, which broke Jerboa which just expects 0.18.

Thank you. Y'all are doing great.

I'm sure it's stressful but I know I'm here to stay. It's been a blast so far

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Huge heartfelt thank you to everyone involved - given the huge growth you're doing awesome!

It would be great to see plans on how to grow in a controlled and safe way and plans for improving the performance. Really hope you have the funds needed and continue to have the income to support everything needed.

Thank you again, it's wonderful to get an update!

I hope hosting all these massive communities is enough a portfolio to land Ruud a crazy job offer one day that pays him stupid levels of money while allowing him plenty of time off to maintain these massive hobby projects.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Just wanted to say thank you all for you efforts and dedication.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do!

Is there anything that people can do to help if they’re unable assist in troubleshooting?

Thanks for your hard work. Noticing janky bits getting ironed out everyday. Has anyone had any luck making Lemmy.world work in Qutebrowser? It just hangs on loading comments/posts..Any work arounds? I'd love that..working quite well in Firefox and mobile though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for all of the updates and work on this instance! As a fellow sys admin, I sympathize with the issues trying to get this update going.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for working so hard on this and keeping lemmy going. This instance seems to have become synonymous with lemmy as a whole for some of the new comers so keeping it up and running is really helping to keep the new comers on board, this can only be good for all of lemmy in the long run!

Really appreciate the transparency about what's going on behind the scenes too. It's nice to know what my donation is doing and I hope you have time for cappuccinos.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I really appreciate the updates. As someone in the tech field, it's been fascinating getting the inside scoop on how it's all coming together.

Edit: I made another account off of your instance to ease up on the pressure, but so many communities and users I care about are on your instance, so I'm using it too!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Glad to see these progress updates. Thanks for the transparency.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't know about anyone else but I keep getting a "cannot load comments"error and the whole post goes blank.

Keep up the good work @Ruud and you all wonderful admins, mods and lemmings for making this possible! πŸ’™πŸ’š

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It seems fine right now. Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's not perfect but becoming better everyday.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the update!

So seems that Reddit refugees influx indeed hit this instance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi, am I correct that typing on iPad currently doesn’t work? As in the keypad won’t show up. I have to type in google or notepad and paste (the paste popup still works) to lemmy.world lol! Anyone else?

As always, thanks for the hard work everybody puts into this!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Had that happen earlier this week. Update your Lemmy client, then update your iPad, then restart your iPad. That fixed it for me with WefWef.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You are the boss! Turning the iPad off and on again worked :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Great work! We believe in you guys.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the update, glad you guys are being transparent about the issues everyone seems to be facing. Looking forward to the coming improvements. 😁
