Really like seeing posts like this that explain what's going on. Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks a lot for your hard work, take your time with your children

This post encapsulates what I love about this place.

So no more random sports posts at the top of every thread? That was a weird bug.

Good work upgrading! I can't imagine it being too easy with a big instance.

I had issues with comments not federating to my own instance before this update (showing 0 for hours). Opening up this up now showed most of them right away if not all. Hopefully that means 0.18.1 fixed a fair few issues people had with federation.

Well done! Thank you for your efforts, cheers!

For everyone experiences issues during the login,

This is caused by an issue in the latest RC of the Lemmy UI. It's already been reported, and ruud will probably decide how to deal with it tomorrow.

The current workaround
Make sure you are on the main page (https://lemmy.world) and not looking at any posts or something like that before hitting the login button.
If you encounter other issues, please make sure to clear the browser cache. The latest upgrade also made changes to the API, which can cause issues with the cached version of the website.

A bit off topic, but does anyone else hate how when you click on a post and then go back, the page auto-resets to the top? Wish it would remember how far down you scrolled and return to that point.

Huge thanks to the lemmy.world team over the last couple of days to scale and maintain the instance! There's a link for donating on the sidebar for lemmy.world - just a couple bucks a month can help us support this instance!

I cannot connect with Jerboa, it always says user or password incorrect 🙁

Edit: worked after a few minutes

Only being on Lemmy.world for a day. It seems smoother ...yes I am a reddit user trying to find a new home. 😂

Congratulations! I can’t believe how much you get done, Ruud! You are crushing it

Well, I hope I'm not the only one but I cannot log in. It's been 4 hours already. Something went wrong. I'm on Firefox mobile.

--> few hours later everything is back to normal

Looks like the server is choking again, we've had ~7k new signups so far today 😅

Good bloody job admins, thank you heaps for your perseverance on this.

When not overloaded the site works better now than ever. But in general this instancen is kind of unusable now as everything is too slow.

Can I actually post from Jerboa now?! Edit - Great success!!

Eyyyy, nice. I can use Jerboa again. Thanks for your work!

Let us know where donations can go, suspect a stacked docker-compose will reach limits very quickly

So some strange behaviour: When I pressed the upvote arrows in 0.17.4, it'd immediately show this in the UI. Right now, it does not. The response appears quite slow. Is this a function of 0.18.1-rc or a function of the traffic of the Reddit-fugees?

Woohoo! I'm in fellas

Lemmy feels much smoother now after hours of being overloaded, what changed?

Thanks again admin team, you rock!

Very nice. I see there are lots of little UI changes too. Thank you for your time and effort.

Nice work!

🎉🎉

I'm not sure if this has been said but, when I open lemmy on browser, my account would sometimes be someone elses. I don't know if it's a bug and I saw it happen three times to me so far, and it even happened again a few minutes ago. It's like I i logged into someone elses account, I saw three other usernames so far. A few minutes ago it said my account was Professor -?-?-?- with that account's profile picture shown too. It only does that for half a second before it returns back to my account.

I'm just making sure this is said because I don't want to one day accidentally log into someone else's account by accident.

Definitely encountering bugs but I appreciate the work. Growing pains can be good!

I had a strange bug today where I wasn't able to upvote comments. So I cleared out my website data like the website suggested and I started having problems logging in. It would log in but then when I refreshed it wasn't logged in anymore. It stopped after a while but then when I clicked on an old tab when I refreshed I was logged out again. So, the log in issue must be something to do with how iOS Safari handles web cache on tabs.

We did it Lemmit!

...oh wait

Am I the only one that just keeps seeing only the same 10 posts on the front page? Almost all about Reddit. Is there just no new content on this app?

Thanks a bunch for your hard work, Ruud and other admin folks! It's so damn GOOD to be able to use Jerboa again!

Also, it's really nice to see the breakdown of your work, helps a lot in understanding what you go through and maybe even of there's anything we can help with. Keep it up!

love the transparency and how fast this is!! looks like we will do it lemmy! and reddit can suck a dick
