Nice
Do you think you guys could do a post on the underlying hardware/infrastructure of .world? I would love to see what it takes to run the largest Lemmy instance lmao
in short form, we have HAproxy running on a hetzner cloud VM for Lemmy/Lemmy-UI, another HAproxy VM for the alt UIs, a VM for the alt UIs.
for the main LW box, which runs lemmy containers, lemmy-ui, pictrs and a database each for lemmy and pictrs, we have a physical box with an EPYC 7502P 32 core CPU, 128GB memory and NVMe SSDs.
Huh interesting thanks! I'm pleasantly surprised at how little the "cloud" is part of it.
Thought for sure it would be some flavor of cloud with a whole bunch of VMs or something like Kubernetes for scalability lol
I can sort the comments [ new/old etc] now! ( Jerboa).
congrats

Are the comment upvote and downvote numbers gone intentionally?
There are now settings to display or hide them
That's cool, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I have all on in my settings:
But the numbers don't show:
Apparently theyβre next to the timestamp now (you can see the ββ 4β on your screenshot, and if you sort this postβs comments by Best, the Futurama meme shows as ββ 87 β 1β)
You're right, thanks!
Don't feel bad. I had that exact same back and forth with myself.
I was also half asleep, high, and pooping, and I still figured it out on my own......so maybe feel a LITTLE bit bad.
Congratulations.
I find the new spot for the numbers a bit wierd, because they end up in different places according to the lenght of the username and other info like instance name.
Yes, I REALLY hated that at first.
Whereas now... I still do:-).
I might be a bit confused, but I just went to my settings to see, and both "show upvotes" and "show downvotes" were ticked already, by default. I refreshed the page (Ctr+Shift+R), and it's still the same.
(Copying from my other comment)

Aaaah, I get it now, thanks! I did see the ββ 4β bits everywhere, but it turns out that every single comment I have looked at had 0 downvotes, and then instead of going ββ 0β, it just simply doesn't display downvotes. I thought I was going mad.
I liked the previous implementation, though. To me it seemed more clear.
I vastly preferred the old way as well - you are not alone.

Finally, the ability to view (and delete!) your own uploads.
FYI, the sorting on the uploads tab is broken. Obviously I don't expect sorting by "top" or "controversial" or whatever to work, but sorting by "old" doesn't, either. It's always sorted by newest first. But at least it's something. (I know for sure I have images uploaded that were not used in posts.)
Nice addπ
I directly noticed that the background color got brighter and looked in this community to see whether a post like this got published. I mean, congrats on the new update I guess but I liked the darker dark mode more π
I recall thinking that as well, but fwiw you do get used to it and it's extremely minor.
The fact that up and downvote counts sometimes appear on the left and otherwise on the right you never get used to though - I hate it.
URL Blocking, at last. Now I can block all those AI shit websites on my communities :D
And being able to comment on locked post, what a nice QoL enhancement :D

Huh? How? I don't see anything about this in the six linked changelogs.
In 0.19.4, section "Moderation enhancements"

But this is about admins being able to block URLs, not about mods of communities.
PieFed and Mbin both allow you to block URLs, like of a particular news source that you don't want. At a guess, the Sync and Connect Lemmy apps may do likewise (but I don't truly know). If Lemmy does not do it in the base web UI, you may have to hunt around to get the functionality that you want. I just wanted to let you know that it definitely does exist, maybe not in base Lemmy, but in multiple other ways, in case that helps.
