server load is too low, everyone upvote more stuff so i can optimize more

edit: guess there is some more work to be done 😁

Test:

Upvote if you can see this comment. 👍

You guys had better quit it with all this amazing transparency or it's going to completely ruin every other service for me. Seriously though amazing work and amazing communication.

I love the smell of updates in the morning.

The instance seems to be much better. Posting and commenting is not taking as long and loading times are way better. I hope things can stay this good or even get better.

As a data engineer, I'd be interested in hearing more about the SQL troubleshooting.

EDIT: It looks like [email protected] is a good place to subscribe to for more technical info on some of these performance improvements.

Also the Lemmy GitHub of course contains more information on bugs/enhancements/etc.

Thank you guys for your awesome work!

Also to other people: DONATE TO FOSS PROJECTS. If 50.000 people donate only 0.5€, we have 25.000€ for funding the servers, coding, motivating/ people etc. Just don't take a cup of coffee for 1 day. We are already 2 millions in Lemmy instances. We can build a decentralized world together!!

Appreciate that these updates use the yyyy-mm-dd format :D

This is why having a big popular instance isn't all bad. It helps detect and fix the scaling problems and inefficiencies for all the other 1000s of instances out there!

The change is noticeable. Good job guys.

Thanks for the updates.

Thank you so much for the hard work, time and money you spend into making lemmy.world run very smoothly. This much transparency is awesome for something that's being used so massively.

Even though i'm not from this instance, this is such a nice way of keeping the users posted about changes. I wish more companies (I know this is not a company) went straight to the point, instead of using vague terms like "improved stability, fixed few issues with an update" when things are changed. I hope all instance owners follow this trend.

Thanks for the update! Things seem way speedier now ^^

Thanks for the updates! Seeing the details of how you work through these early issues is valuable to those of us thinking of starting an instance.

Everytime I open a post and go back to previous page it scrolls back to top. Is this fixable? Im on windows 11, chrome.

Thank you so much! I will be donating a few cappuccinos your way when my next check arrives. I really appreciate how awesome of a community you’ve brought together & all of the transparency with the updates (and the frequency) is astounding! Keep up the great work but don’t forget to take breaks :)

Am I getting this correct: the whole lemmy.world instance run in one single container on one single host?

It blows my mind with the amount of traffic you guys must be getting that you are only running one container and not running in a k8s cluster with multiple pods (or similar container orchestration system)

Edit: misread that a second was coming up, but still crazy that this doesn’t take some multi node cluster with multiple pods. Fucking awesome

Would HAProxy work better as a load balancer? For work we switched due to some issues with NGINX; so far, the service has been much more consistent with pretty much no downtime, even when restarting server hosts.
