Welcome to Lemmy vX.XX.X-rc.X - The Lemmy Upgrade Thread

Looks to work well with Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. However, you may need to logout, clear browser cache, close and restart your browser for success.

As Lemmy grows and develops we may encounter bugs. In particular, new bugs may surface after upgrading. We'll do our best to maintain a stable system based on the ongoing work. Our smaller sites in Europe, China and Japan may receive updates prior to our USA site as a way to test stability of new releases before implementing them here.

Please be patient and understanding as we grow and help you have a better Link Aggregator and Discussion Community experience that is open, federated and free of advertising.

  • We are working on improving load balancing today and distributing the instance across multiple servers. As a result, you may see some timeouts, thank you for your patience.

  • Migrating to newer hardware with more memory and cpus pict-rs are being replicated, so you may see some images missing. Please be patient. If you have login/logout issues be sure to completely dump your browser cache to resolve that.

  • Welcome to Lemmy v0.18.1-rc.4 This may have resolved the memory leak that we were experiencing which caused the occasional site timeouts.

  • Currently UI: 0.18.1-rc.7 BE: 0.18.1-rc.4 pict-rs is now running on a separate machine.

  • Wow! UI: 0.18.1-rc.10 BE: 0.18.1-rc.9-1-gf0e487f18 is so much better. What a fun holiday weekend for everyone. Thank you for still being here!

    • I'm keeping an eye on this PR

      Once that one's merged it should massively improve database performance under load. Instead of doing tons of full table reads with joins to the communities table, it'll be doing much smaller, faster reads. Currently those full reads happen for every up/down vote.

      Converting those blind full-table scans with joins into smaller targeted reads is gonna be a performance gamechanger

      Edit: it was just merged!

  • @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org: Lemmy is now up to 0.18.4. This update fixes collapsed comments, and apparently 0.18.3 should have a massive performance improvement with regards to database accesses, so I think it would be good to update.

  • It's working pretty good for me. And federation is great. But I can't seem to upload photos. Maybe there's a file size cap.

    • Yeah, I've also been having issues where images I upload to the SDF instance don't seem to appear when my posts are viewed via other instances.

      I've begun using 3rd party filehosts for my image uploads -- not that big of a deal since that's also what I had to do on old Reddit, but yeah... not ideal. I've been using catbox.moe now that imgur.com no longer guarantees indefinite hosting.
