Good morning,
Some of you may have experienced a small hiccup this morning (eastern time). I went ahead and upgraded our lemmy instance to 0.17.4. I also took this opportunity to make some small adjustments to the instance that required a restart of services. These changes were mainly related to increasing Federation worker count in hopes to decrease synchronization times with other instances. A small fix to help slow down the storage growth was also applied (limiting log sizes that get generated).
Everything should be back up now. In the future my goal is to be more transparent with scheduling downtime.
edit: updated link
Good sh.it
We should all adopt this when posting! LOL
Thanks for your amazing work !
Thanks for your hard work! It’s greatly appreciated.
Are you sure that’s the right link for the version? That changelog only goes to 0.17.2, 4 months ago. Wanted to see what changed.
You are right, wrong link! I just updated it. Thanks for the heads up
Thanks! Ah, so this is just a DB optimization patch. From the sounds of that changelog, all the big stuff is coming down the pipe in the next version. Presumably that’s when they’re finally turning off WebSockets.
I believe the devs were saying that they were moving away from websockets in v0.18.0 which is scheduled to come out in a few weeks
Can confirm talked to some of the UI devs that’s a main focus right now
Thanks for your effort. I really have to say the performance here is very good compared to other instances (tried two others before I landed here). Shit just works.
Cat pics arent loading fast enough…
Please post donation link so we can upgrade the server!
Thanks for your hard work!
Great! Always nice to get new updates
Security fixes - happy to see it applied quickly.
thanks for the hard work
Serious question: Is there a way to get the interface to dynamically expand to the width of the browser window? The narrow columns are giving me a twitch in my right eye.
Yes, there’s a greasemonkey script you can setup to change the formatting. Details here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/53395?scrollToComments=true
Thank you! Can you confirm that we are having federation issues? I cannot seem to locate magazines on other instances. I just wanted to make sure its not just me doing something wrong.
As I understand it, part of the issue on kbin is that the default federation threads value is too low for large sized instances.
I gather this will improve over time.
