server load is too low, everyone upvote more stuff so i can optimize more

edit: guess there is some more work to be done 😁

Test:

Upvote if you can see this comment. 👍

The change is noticeable. Good job guys.

Thanks for the updates.

This is why having a big popular instance isn't all bad. It helps detect and fix the scaling problems and inefficiencies for all the other 1000s of instances out there!

Wow. So much smoother today.

Great work.

You dropped this 👑

You guys had better quit it with all this amazing transparency or it's going to completely ruin every other service for me. Seriously though amazing work and amazing communication.

My upvote can go through fast now

Good work

I love the smell of updates in the morning.

Thank you guys for your awesome work!

Also to other people: DONATE TO FOSS PROJECTS. If 50.000 people donate only 0.5€, we have 25.000€ for funding the servers, coding, motivating/ people etc. Just don't take a cup of coffee for 1 day. We are already 2 millions in Lemmy instances. We can build a decentralized world together!!

Boy does it feel good to have those reports and understand the work you guys do. It's really inspiring! Thanks for your hard work, everything has been silk smooth! This instance is really great, Lemmy and its devs are really amazing and I feel at home in a nice, cozy community.

Am I getting this correct: the whole lemmy.world instance run in one single container on one single host?

I'm not sure wtf you just said, but lemmy.world feels very smooth today, so thank you for your continued hard work!

So that's why it was so smooth today... Great work!

This is better optimization than most enterprise devs will see in their lifetimes.

Submitting PRs is literally the most effective response that helps everyone who uses Lemmy. Thanks to you all.

upvoting posts is so much more stable now, we might actually see more bean posts as a result

Upvotes are still getting rejected. Replies hang so I cancel out and it turns out they did post.

That said, browsing is pretty snappy and smooth. I know the kinks will get worked out eventually. Thanks for the update.

Edit: This now appears resolved minutes later. All smooth on my end.

Literally a night and day difference in performance and stability! Thank you all for the hard work. To other users like me, consider reducing or replacing one of your lesser used subscriptions and directing that money to Lemmy. It’s much better served here if you ask me.

This is why I love open source. The fact that a community can directly debug the code that's it's being hosted on and directly contribute the improvements back is just wild. Thanks for all the hard work @[email protected] and the rest of the lemmy.world team! The site already feels much more responsive.

The server is absofuckinglutely flying today! It feels smooth and bug free!!! You guys are legends.

As a data engineer, I'd be interested in hearing more about the SQL troubleshooting.

EDIT: It looks like [email protected] is a good place to subscribe to for more technical info on some of these performance improvements.

Also the Lemmy GitHub of course contains more information on bugs/enhancements/etc.

Good to see a heavy production server taking on the scaling issues. Thank you! To discuss Lemmy performance issues, there is a dedicated community: [email protected]

Appreciate that these updates use the yyyy-mm-dd format :D

It now feels pretty good to browse and it now makes the experience of using Lemmy much more enjoyable. Having to spam the vote buttons was really annoying.

It's so smooth now; the speed difference is insane! You all are doing excellent work!

Can we have an update on the status of Lemmy.world and how close ties we are going to have with Meta's threads? Threads is going to support ActivityPub, but time has shown that this is an attempt to try to kill this open platform and eventually replace it with theirs once they get everyone in their ecosystem. (Embrace, Extend...extinguish) Mastodon has said today that they don't mind sleeping with vipers when their demise / dissolution is in Meta's best interest.

Please tell me we are defederating from Meta....or let us know what to expect

EDIT: I originally stated that Mastodon told them to fuck off, but I got confused with Fosstodon (who did that). Mastodon doesn't mind being in bed with Meta

Thanks to all involved across the board. Great work all around 👏👏

Even though i'm not from this instance, this is such a nice way of keeping the users posted about changes. I wish more companies (I know this is not a company) went straight to the point, instead of using vague terms like "improved stability, fixed few issues with an update" when things are changed. I hope all instance owners follow this trend.

Thanks for this very nice report.

Thanks for the detailed update and all the hard work you guys are doing!

Gadzooks! These are huge fixes. Compliments to the team, you guys pulled off a small miracle today.

Huge props to everyone working on the project. It's awesome seeing everyone work together and resolving issues so quickly!

Lemmy's devs and the .world admins have done in a month what Reddit hasn't done in it's whole existence: having a smooth and almost bug-free experience.

Jerboa feels so damn FRESH to use now!

The site is running so much better now, thanks to all. BTW: Love these updates!

I'm very curious: does single Lemmy instance have the ability to horizontally scale to multiple machines? You can only get so big of a machine. You did mention a second container, so that would suggest that the Lemmy software is able to do so, but I'm curious if I'm reading that right.

I don't understand anything other than you worked diligently to make things smoother. Thanks to everyone for their wonderful work!
