My first comment on here! Thanks for creating this, this looks fantastic and a great Reddit alternative. Keep up the great work.

Fuck yeah upgrade hype

Have you considered running your Lemmy instance on more than a single machine? If it is possible to run two lemmy containers anyway (ie, lemmy is not a singleton), why not run them on separate machines? With load balancing you could achieve a more stable experience. It might be cheaper to have many mediocre machines rather than a single powerful one too, as well as more sustainable long-term (vertical vs horizontal scaling).

The downside would be that the set-up would be less obvious than with Docker compose and you would probably need to get into k8s/k3s/nomad territory in order to orchestrate a proper fleet.

Thanks for the update. I especially like the transparency on not only the “upgrade” itself but also the potential issues encountered, together with the solutions. Seems rare nowadays, or I’m just seeing less and less people doing this.

It has been near unusable since the upgrade.

Thank you! I love it here. Sending good vibes

Thanks! Seems to be working fine so far.

Really like seeing posts like this that explain what's going on. Thanks for all the hard work!

Many thanks for the transparency! This is great.

Its been pretty snappy for me all afternoon! No errors to speak of.

Nice work!

Thank you!!

Awesome! Loading issues are still the bane of Lemmy's existence though, or at least it is for me and my experience with Lemmy. Everything just loads so slow. Sorting is still broken as well. Communities that I KNOW that are active just show as blank for me no matter what I sort by.

I can finally login!

It keeps logging me out, plus when I log in, alarmingly other users' profile names flash in the top right corner for a second.

We're back baby!

I survived!

Not sure what fixed it (I'm sure though on my side I did nothing since the last failed login) but the login form finally works again!

Thank you so much for this. Much appreciated

Is there a way to follow the update status while this instance is down?

I knew the update was coming, so I expected the downtime, but I could not find any info about when it was expected to be up and running again?

Thanks for the great and ongoing work put into managing this endeavor!

Also chipping in to give my appreciation, really enjoying Lemmy through lemmy.world!

Is there a issue with the api? ( Because the api wrapper lemmy-js-client doesnt work on login. ) I tried it yesterday but not today yet. I will test it when i can :)

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?

I really enjoy how lemmy is growing!

Thanks so much for everything!

I really enjoy how lemmy is growing!

I can't login from my main browser even if I clear the cache and cookies, if I use other browser it works

Edit: I fixed it just by changing my browser language to English and restarting it, hope this is useful for someone.

Also, thanks to Ruud and team for the hard work, everything seems to work really well and fast.

I really enjoy how lemmy is growing!

We're alive!!!

Thank you :)

Thank you for the hard work! Enjoying Lemmy.world quite a bit. :)
