It has been near unusable since the upgrade.

Wow - we have a new defniition of 'awesome dudes'.

Thank you.

Thank you from England for all the hard work AND for giving such interesting details, especially as it will encourage others to set up their own instances, and help them cross similar hurdles!!

The instance just got so much more faster and stable, it's amazing. Keep up the good work!

It's faster now, and we finally have buttons for rich text features! Congratulations!

Update: upvotes are a bit broken and weird right now, I need to refresh every time to see that I upvoted. But that's really the only issue I see right now.

I'm sure there will be bugs for others but it's smooth and bug free for me. Thanks so much for the devs and contributors.

Just signed up and everythings working well for me!

I really appreciate the transparency in this post. There's enough information for me to feel like I kind of know what's going on, and I can go dig into it deeper if I feel like it. This is a breath of fresh air from what I'm used to, thanks so much!

So, basically I can't see any content from lemmyworld, I'm commenting right now from another instance. When I logged into my Lemmy world account its just empty, zero content, any solutions?

🎉 Great work!

Favicon seems to be missing now. Just a heads up! @ruud@lemmy.world

YOU'RE DOING GOD'S WORK, SON! Keep up the good work! 🏆

thank you for letting us know behind-the-scene stuffs.

me myself is a sysadmin and really like story of successfully scaling up servers. very satisfy to hear.

once again, thank you!

Edit still see some performance issues. Needs more troubleshooting

Federation overheard is putting a lot of load on servers. Creating one task for every single post, comment, and vote in RAM-only queue.... pending changes: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3466

I'm curious; is this instance pysically running on a local private server somewhere or in the cloud in some data center?

@ruud oh wow 0.18.1 fixed the broken federation/webfinger issue!!! this is great news

Thank you for the hard work! Enjoying Lemmy.world quite a bit. :)

Thanks for the hard work on the upgrade! Much appreciated although I'm only using the web version (not needing specific client apps). Lemmy World feels quite 'snappy' when browsing now.

we created extra lemmy containers to spread the load. (And extra lemmy-ui containers). And used nginx to load balance between them.

Had no idea nginx did that. There's so much I need to learn

Lemmy seems pretty slow. I wonder how many more people have joined here now.

Updated Jerboa. Thanks for your efforts, transparency and insights.

was struggling for a while, but it seem to be nice and fast now.. thank you!

To everyone having a login problem, it seems that resetting the password solves the issue! Maybe this means that the upgrade corrupted the stored hashes somehow?

Login problem is fixed for me, yay! Back on Jerboa and here on the browser! Thanks for your hard work and for putting up with me, lol.

I'm getting network errors that aren't allowing me to actually view content on Jerboa right now, though, but at this point I'm assuming it's a Jerboa thing and not a problem with the instance.

Lot of network errors, but it could be jerboa.

Having login issues on the browser. Not logging in at all. But on liftoff where I was already logged in, everything seems to be working.

Special thanks to the other guys for helping make this update possible. Site is snappier than ever and the UI looks fantastic.

Nice, really liking the update! Some questions about development for the fediverse: Is the code for running Lemmy written by one or person or a smome core team?

Is there any decision making process as to which features will be worked on in the next release or which bugs to prioritize?

In theory what would happen if the original developers started making changes that other people don't agree with? Would we get a fork then where servers have to choose to adopt it or not?

My first comment on here! Thanks for creating this, this looks fantastic and a great Reddit alternative. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the update. I especially like the transparency on not only the “upgrade” itself but also the potential issues encountered, together with the solutions. Seems rare nowadays, or I’m just seeing less and less people doing this.
