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.

My first comment on here! Thanks for creating this, this looks fantastic and a great Reddit alternative. Keep up the great work.

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.

Fuck yeah upgrade hype

Thank you! I love it here. Sending good vibes

Thanks! Seems to be working fine so far.

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

I am still getting errors half the time I do anything while using jerboa

Website is working great though

Edit: It's suddenly working a lot better now. Hopefully I am not jinxing myself.

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 :)

Its been pretty snappy for me all afternoon! No errors to speak of.

Nice work!

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.

This looks like it’s exposed some weaknesses, and it sounds like the team has it under control.

I’m moving right now and can’t dedicate time to development, but once I’m up and running I should be able to start contributing.

Scalability is always a concern with these sites, so there’s plenty to do to improve that

I survived!

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

We're alive!!!

Thank you :)

Special thanks to the other guys for helping make this update possible. Site is snappier than ever and the UI looks fantastic.

I really enjoy how lemmy is growing!

Also chipping in to give my appreciation, really enjoying Lemmy through lemmy.world!

This is really cool that this gets shared. Thanks for all of the info!

Thanks so much for everything!

Nice

Hey man I just want to say thank you for your hard work.

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!

Excellent news! I can browse Lemmy on my phone again, many thanks to you @Ruud and everyone else who worked on this!

Great stuff!
