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.
A new version was just released. One of the new features is parallel federation, in addition to reduced CPU usage. Hopefully if we upgrade to it, we’ll see reduced federation lag with lemmy.world
As always, thanks to the admins for keeping things up to date!
There seems to be a known bug which prevents people from subscribing to communities on different instances.
Thankfully this appears to be “just” a bug in the web ui, and shouldn’t affect users of apps such as Jerboa (which I happen to be).
Things feel snappier.
Very snappy compared to the last few days.
Thanks for all the work on the instance!
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.
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.
Oh, nice! The Firefox mobile login bug is fixed. Thanks!
fwiw, seems it got worse for me. before it would spin and if i’d refresh i’d be logged in, now the button kinda doesn’t respond and nothing happens, refreshing does nothing, etc. i tried clearing cache and killing the browser.
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.
Welcome to …
UI: 0.18.1-rc.9 BE: 0.18.1-rc.9-1-gf0e487f18
Welcome to … UI: 0.18.2-rc.1 BE: 0.18.1-10-g9c2490d4f
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!

Known issue, see lemmy-ui/#1545. The fix is already in the wings, we just need to wait for the next minor/hotfix release before we can receive it.
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.
