Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, there are definite growing pains, and likely will be for some time (just do to the codebase we are working with, understandably). We have a really solid group though heading up lemmy.world though so we will be just fine ;)
The login form should be related to the overall spiking we were seeing, though I can't say we had conclusive evidence of that. I have been able to get it to load properly with a few refreshes. Maybe try clearing your cache? I had to do that several times during testing.
This is due to the update today. We are working with the wefwef dev on a resolution. Look for more info from Ruud on this as soon as we have a fix.
🙌 Great work team!!!
PSA from Admin Team: The update completed roughly two hours ago. Since that time, the Admin team (and other site admins) have been working on the noted performance issues. We believe we have found a solution, but we still need time to test this out. You may still see brief outages and differences in performance as we are testing different configurations. We are trying to prevent rolling back.
While I know this can be frustrating - especially today - please keep in mind we have a team of volunteer techies (from around the globe!) collaborating on this issue. It is an inspiring situation. Also keep in mind that lemmy.world is quite a bit larger (and more active than any other instance). As such, we are a bit of a ‘test instance’ in regards to high volume requests. This is just part of the growing pain. We appreciate your understanding.
@[email protected] will provide a debrief once we have completed testing.
The other thing to note with this bug, at least in my experience and what I have seen, even if it shows pending it will still show up in your 'Subscribed' feed. So while visually it is inaccurate, it seems to actually function properly. To be seen if the upgrade to 0.18.1 has any effect.
Thanks for posting this over here. I otherwise wouldn't have known this was going on. As I used a mostly lurker account for game day threads I wasn't going to bother with a data request. It's a whole different story if we can inundate them though. Request submitted. o7
God I wish I could upvote this, but after about 5 minutes of trying to get it to stick, I will leave this comment instead. Well played ;)
This may be the best highlight of spez incompetence 🍿 For everyone talking smack on the moderators, this is exactly what they should be doing. Malicious compliance. Make it hard for Reddit to know what is going on. Love to see it.
Frankly one of my favorite parts about the blackout - and opinions like this - is that Lemmy is going to end up being populated by people who have the capacity to think about others and form intelligent opinions. All of the people with this attitude will stay on reddit, which is what will ultimately kill it. I hope he stays.
Yeah this is accurate. We wanted to get away from websockets ASAP while also maintaining Captcha functionality.
