Welcome to Lemmy vX.XX.X-rc.X - The Lemmy Upgrade Thread
Looks to work well with Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. However, you may need to logout, clear browser cache, close and restart your browser for success.
As Lemmy grows and develops we may encounter bugs. In particular, new bugs may surface after upgrading. We'll do our best to maintain a stable system based on the ongoing work. Our smaller sites in Europe, China and Japan may receive updates prior to our USA site as a way to test stability of new releases before implementing them here.
Please be patient and understanding as we grow and help you have a better Link Aggregator and Discussion Community experience that is open, federated and free of advertising.
We are working on improving load balancing today and distributing the instance across multiple servers. As a result, you may see some timeouts, thank you for your patience.
fwiw, seems it got worse for me. before it would spin and if i'd refresh i'd be logged in, now the button kinda doesn't respond and nothing happens, refreshing does nothing, etc. i tried clearing cache and killing the browser.
Once that one's merged it should massively improve database performance under load. Instead of doing tons of full table reads with joins to the communities table, it'll be doing much smaller, faster reads. Currently those full reads happen for every up/down vote.
Converting those blind full-table scans with joins into smaller targeted reads is gonna be a performance gamechanger
Yeah, I've also been having issues where images I upload to the SDF instance don't seem to appear when my posts are viewed via other instances.
I've begun using 3rd party filehosts for my image uploads -- not that big of a deal since that's also what I had to do on old Reddit, but yeah... not ideal. I've been using catbox.moe now that imgur.com no longer guarantees indefinite hosting.
@[email protected]: Lemmy is now up to 0.18.4. This update fixes collapsed comments, and apparently 0.18.3 should have a massive performance improvement with regards to database accesses, so I think it would be good to update.
Migrating to newer hardware with more memory and cpus
pict-rs are being replicated, so you may see some images missing. Please be patient.
If you have login/logout issues be sure to completely dump your browser cache to resolve that.
If you scroll to the bottom of the page it shows the version on the bottom-right. Currently says BE: 0.18.2
The BE stands for Back-End. Sometimes the Front-End of Lemmy gets updated separately from the Back-End, hence the distinction.
