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!

Welcome to …

UI: 0.18.1-rc.9 BE: 0.18.1-rc.9-1-gf0e487f18

Yes, the fediverse wants to be decentralized, so it is encouraged to use what works best for you. lemmy.sdfeu.org is located in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Here is where we’re at now.

• increased cores and memory, hopefully we never touch swap again
• dedicated server for pict-rs with its own RAID
• dedicated server for lemmy, postgresql with its own RAID
• lemmy-ui and nginx run on both to handle ui requests

Thank you for everyone who stuck around and helped out, it is appreciated. We’re working on additional suggested tweaks from the Lemmy community and hope to let lemmy.world try to DoS us again soon. Hopefully we’ll do much better this time.

live updates in progress. Moved to SSDs, added more cores and 128GB and 64GB ram.

Two things that would be great:

• Have a tanoy/horn announce icon at the top like with Mastodon where status information can be posted.
• Change the heart icon to link to a method that supports the local instance

Attempts were made to create a thread for the almost daily upgrades we’re going through with BE and UI changes, but even with pinning it doesn’t have the visibility.

We’re on site in about 1 hour to install a new RAID and once that is completed we’ll finish the transfer of pict-rs data.

You are absolutely welcome to do that.

You’re absolutely welcome to do that as it is your decision and you have many choices. We hope to build a community of folks that would like to help the fediverse grow and support smaller instances. Similar growing pains were seen during the twitter exodous last September.

It is temporary as lemmy.world was cascading duplicates at us and the only way to keep the site up reliably was to temporarily drop them. We’re in the process of adding more hardware to increase RAM, CPU cores and disk space. Once that new hardware is in place we can try turning on the firehose. Until then, please patient.

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.

Currently UI: 0.18.1-rc.7 BE: 0.18.1-rc.4 pict-rs is now running on a separate machine.

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.

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.

Thanks to the work of DJ Sures and others they’re actually able to do something now.

Thank you for your kind support!
