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.

Awesome to see the transparency and some tech details of what these updates entail! I’m loving the bug fixes 0.18 brought too

Thanks a bunch for your hard work, Ruud and other admin folks! It's so damn GOOD to be able to use Jerboa again!

Also, it's really nice to see the breakdown of your work, helps a lot in understanding what you go through and maybe even of there's anything we can help with. Keep it up!

Hey, thanks for your hard work, just want to let you know that login doesn't work for me in incognito mode or on any app.

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.

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

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!!

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

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!

Lot of network errors, but it could be jerboa.

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.

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?

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

I am still getting errors half the time I do anything while using jerboa

Website is working great though

Edit: It's suddenly working a lot better now. Hopefully I am not jinxing myself.

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!

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.

Great work on moving away from the websockets

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

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

Dumb question: how can I set up a small ongoing donation to lemmy.world specifically? I can't seem to find it on the mobile site.

Favicon seems to be missing now. Just a heads up! @[email protected]

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?

Profile pictures on user profiles are still stretched, and now the upvote arrows doesn't turn blue until you refresh the page when you press it

Other than that, this is a fantastic design update

Many thanks for the transparency! This is great.

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?

Thanks! Seems to be working fine so far.
