Big update this, this update comes with captcha being available which has now been re-enabled for sign up. This means signups are once again open (as captcha should filter out most bots).
Quite a few UI changes in this one and quite a few performance updates as well (mainly around how the database works). If anyone is interested our CPU average is around 8-10% usage and the memory usage has dropped to around 5% usage so the instance is looking pretty stable.
Thanks Tom! I appreciate the work you are doing to keep the server up and running.
What are the benefits of using your hosted wefwef over wefwef.app? Any downsides? (slower updates?)
Nice! The new “darkly-compact” theme that came with the update too looks great on desktop.

Thanks Tom!
Cheers Tom! BTW I notice that on the normal UI (but not wefwef) posts now don’t show the post body text preview (as in the first few lines of the post when viewing the feed of posts), don’t know if this is intentional behaviour, just FYI!
Thank you! Do remember to nudge us if we are not donating enough to cover the server cost and more.
Nice one @Tom
Thanks Tom. The wefwef instance seems to be down for me now, dunno if this is related to the version change, or maybe something needs a restart?
Yeh just fixed it, I need to find a better way of updating the wefwef site as atm, every update to the instance will break the wefwef site lol. Problem for another day
Not to give you more to do, but I get a “problem uploading image” with the wefwef instance on feddit.uk, but wefwef.app works fine. Same account, same community.
Hey Tom, I’m not sure how you’re hosting wefwef and Lemmy. But I’ve got a similar setup as FedditUK, where I have the Lemmy-UI at mydomain.org and Wefwef at w.mydomain.org. I have Lemmy and Wefwef in seperate docker containers and updates to either don’t affect the other.
Thanks!
