Are there any plans to make user up and down votes not viewable publicly? I know for a lot of new adopters this can be a deal breaker.

Thanks for all the work you, and all the others do to welcome so many new users, and thank you for keeping us posted on your efforts to smooth things over.

From what I see the general sentiment is very positive and understanding, and it feels special to be part of a community that's more upbeat than what you see in most online places.

I can come whine in the discord if that'll help.

Thank you to you and everyone behind the scenes working hard to make Lemmy a great place. I am turkey enjoying the experience even with the bugs. Brings back a ton of nostalgia with modern mixed in.

Appreciate the update, best of luck.

It’s a ton better this afternoon! Thank you!!

Its nice to have a place where the admins and developers aren't trying to scheme and manipulate the community to get a big payout. Thanks for all that you guys do. Curating this community is no doubt selfless hard work but we need a place like this free from the influence or potential take over by bad actors and malignant narcissists.

around 25GB RAM usage. (That is, if we restart Lemmy every 30 minutes. Else memory will go to 100%)

25 GB of RAM????? Looks like your instance is the edge case with Lemmy's scalability, when there's really big amount of active users. Looks like some problems won't fade with really high-grade hardware. But I have to appreciate, that's one gargantuan job!

Thanks for the transparent update!

Thanks for putting in all the hard work. Especially on a holiday. We appreciate you guys!

Encouraging to hear about how much help you're getting. A happy lemmyverse is a happy fediverse?

If you need any Python QA test automation help I’m happy to invest. Thanks for the new home.

That’s cool. Appreciate the work to you all!

All these updates are really much appreciated. I would love to see the conversations happening in this discord but I understand that you would want to limit that to only a small group: do you have someone making sure this is archived somewhere, and available in a few years? That would be a nice read then.

More props for you and the other admins as you ride the waves. It’s for a great cause.

Keep up the great work! We believe in you! Just a reminder to everyone to help sustain lemmy.world by donating in the sidebar! If 1000 people all donated $2/month then that's 24K a year to keep the hardware running! Reddit is what happens when you rely on Corporate Overlords to provide the services you love.

As a former programmer, I appreciate the hard work you folks are putting in so the rest of us can putter away our free time. You're doing great. Thank you.

Thanks for the hard work and transparency. It gives confidence that you guys will get through this.

It is hard not to root for your success in this. I'm temporarily off .world, but would love to come back when you guys get this under control more.

I'm very much so okay putting up with hiccups right now. I know things will improve in the future.

Thank you and everyone for all your hard work!

Keep up the good work @Ruud and you all wonderful admins, mods and lemmings for making this possible! 💙💚

Its amazing this site hasn't completely melted down yes it sucks trying to use it and having nothing load but the fact that the site has mostly worked when I want to use it and the fact you guys have less than 1% of 1% of reddits resources is mind blowing

I appreciate the transparency. Keep it up! Everyone is loving it here (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤!

It’s really good to know that there are more people helping sorting everything out.

I’d just like to suggest publishing the workarounds and fixes public so that other small instances can get it sorted faster when they grow.

I switched to a regional instance to take the load off for everyone, Lemmy is even better!

Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do!

Is there anything that people can do to help if they’re unable assist in troubleshooting?

Just wanted to say thank you all for you efforts and dedication.

Thanks for working so hard on this and keeping lemmy going. This instance seems to have become synonymous with lemmy as a whole for some of the new comers so keeping it up and running is really helping to keep the new comers on board, this can only be good for all of lemmy in the long run!

Really appreciate the transparency about what's going on behind the scenes too. It's nice to know what my donation is doing and I hope you have time for cappuccinos.

It seems fine right now. Thank you.

Thanks for all of the updates and work on this instance! As a fellow sys admin, I sympathize with the issues trying to get this update going.

Glad to see these progress updates. Thanks for the transparency.

Thanks for all your efforts.

I'm sorry to hear you're using Discord, for me it fits right in with the likes of Reddit, Twitter and Facebook. Why not use something independant and federated like Matrix or XMPP?

You lot are internet heroes. Thank you for putting in the work and creating this community!
