Thanks again for all the hard work on Lemmy World. It feels fast today
This is the level of transparency that most companies should strive for. Ironic that in terms of fixing things, volunteer and passion projects seem to be more on top of issues compared to big companies with hundreds of employees.
You said it: passion projects. While being paid is surely a motivator, seeing your pet project take off the way Lemmy is can be so intoxicating and rewarding! I plan to donate as soon as I get paid on Friday! I want to see this succeed, even if it is just to spite Reddit, and I am willing to pay for the pleasure.
Thanks for all of your effort. Even though we are on different instances, it’s important for the Fediverse community that you succeed. You are doing valuable work, and I appreciate it.
Not just that, but the code contributed to Lemmy by this debugging will make Lemmy run faster for everyone on every instance, which is makes the ecosystem that much better.
That is, if we restart Lemmy every 30 minutes. Else memory will go to 100%
Lemmy has a memory leak? Or, should I say, a "lemmory leak"?

A lemmory meek, obviously!
Do you need any spare server hardware? @ruud@lemmy.world I would be happy to donate some!
No thanks, it's all at Hetzner, and thanks to all donations we can extend when needed!
Huge respect for what you've built here, but it might be worth reaching out to the lemm.ee admin. I only know enough DevOps and cloud hosting to be dangerous, not helpful. But his instance seems stable and scalable. He might be able to offer some insight into the issues here
Yes he's one of the other admins in our Discord, he's very helpful!
I'm just excited to be back in the Wild West again -- all of the big players had bumps, at least this one is working to fix them.
i just wanted to thank you for doing your best to fix lemmy.world as soon as possible.
but please, don't feel forced to overwork yourselves. i understand you want to do it soon so more people can move from Reddit, but i wouldn't like that Lemmy software and community developers overwork and feel miserable, as those things are some of the very motives you escaped from Reddit in first place.
in my opinion, it would be nice that we users understand this situation and, if we want lemmy so bad, we actively help with it.
this applies to all lemmy instances and communities, ofc. have a nice day you all! ^^
Plus, slow steady growth means eventual success. Burnout is very real if you never take a break.
I am very forgiving of the bugs I encounter on Lemmy instances because Lemmy is still growing and it's essentially still in beta. I am totally unforgiving of Reddit crashing virtually every day after almost two decades.
How can I donate to lemmy.world?

Not an expert, but here is where I set up a recurring donation. Apparently Mastadon.world and Lemmy.world are run by the same admins. Took me a while to understand this, please correct me if I'm wrong.
good news, a fix might be in the works: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3482
Yes phiresky is working with us improving performance, has helped a lot so far! (We're now running a custom build with some of his improvements)
I've noticed lemmy.world has been much more responsive today so something seems to be working!
Just tried upvoting most of the comments here, and this time all of the upvotes went through and were extremely fast! No more 502 errors!
Really appreciate all the time and effort you all put in especially while Lemmy is growing so fast. Couldn't happen without you!
More props for you and the other admins as you ride the waves. It’s for a great cause.
.world is definitely running smoother than when I joined 3 days ago, back then it was impossible to comment and the lag was immense, right now I just have to occasionally reload the page, but that's nothing in comparison.
You guys are doing an amazing work! I'm broke, so here are some ~~coins 🪙🪙🪙🪙~~ beans 🫘🫘🫘🫘
The redirects to baseball games glitch is gone. I am unsure if this is because the glitch is fixed or if baseball season is over.
😆 sorry about that! Baseball season is still very much on.
This issue was caused by the websockets replacing the current thread you were on with newly updated or created posts. Our game threads get updated frequently so they were constantly popping up in people's faces. We decreased the frequency of the updates pretty substantially in order to be less annoying to unrelated instances but it was still happening occasionally.
Now that we're all through with websockets it won't be an issue anymore!
I recall that previously we couldn't update jerboa due to it not being compatible with the last server version. Is that updated now, can we update Jerboa?
System load: The server is roughly at 60% cpu usage and around 25GB RAM usage. (That is, if we restart Lemmy every 30 minutes. Else memory will go to 100%)
Shouldn't we be discussing closing registrations?

who'd have thought memory leaks would be possible in Rust 🤯
(sorry not sorry Rust devs)
