Hey all!
Quick update to the community about the upgrades we performed today:
-
We upgraded the lemmy application from version 0.17.x to 0.18.1-rc4. This should resolve some issues preventing people from logging in. Thanks to @[email protected] for assisting with this, including testing and summarizing benefits of the new version.
-
Set up a Cloudflare proxy & CDN layer. This will reduce load on our instance for static assets like images and javascript, speed up delivery of those assets for users that are spread around the world, and may help us respond more fluidly to any DDOS threats that may arise in the future.
For an alternate place to follow updates being made to the instance, you can check out the #lemmy channel on the DRSyourGME Discord - https://discord.com/channels/1102309240145707049/1121464479021006960
