Thanks for the update. I especially like the transparency on not only the “upgrade” itself but also the potential issues encountered, together with the solutions. Seems rare nowadays, or I’m just seeing less and less people doing this.

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?

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 :)

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.

I can finally login!

Nice

I really enjoy how lemmy is growing!

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.

This is awesome. Was a fun read too. Super cool to see what was going on behind the scenes.

Seems to work good enough!

Signed into Jerboa! Thanks devs!

Excellent work!

obviously not critical, but it looks like there's a small sidebar bug (or feature?) that puts the pic near the instance name if it is the first thing in its description?

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.

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

Thanks for getting the update out!

Definitely weird that it was 1500 instead of some power of 2*100!

Also, when we finally get a 128 thread machine just think of the meme potential!

Hurray! Works well for me so far.

Amazing work! It seems much more performant now, everything seems to be loading faster.

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.

@ruud awesome!

I really enjoy how lemmy is growing!

Tried to login but nothing happen except a "?" was added into the link. Tried delete data, cookie, etc but the probelm still persist. Comment from other instance

Absolutely loving the new UI changes. Thanks for being so transparent with us as well!

Running so many Lemmy instances against the same database doesn't cause race conditions? I wonder why that "just worked" so easily, usually load balancing DB-backed apps is a whole beast on its own.

It seems there is still some performance issues.

Maybe consider a webcache like varnish to take some of the load off?

It keeps logging me out, plus when I log in, alarmingly other users' profile names flash in the top right corner for a second.

It has been near unusable since the upgrade.

Quick everyone show Appreciation before they notice
