Welcome to Lemmy vX.XX.X-rc.X - The Lemmy Upgrade Thread

3 years ago by SDF to c/sdfpubnix

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.

There seems to be a known bug which prevents people from subscribing to communities on different instances.

Thankfully this appears to be "just" a bug in the web ui, and shouldn't affect users of apps such as Jerboa (which I happen to be).

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.

I'm keeping an eye on this PR

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

Edit: it was just merged!

Any news on upgrading to 0.19.5 or are the admins waiting for 0.19.8?

Welcome to Lemmy v0.18.1-rc.4 This may have resolved the memory leak that we were experiencing which caused the occasional site timeouts.

Known issue, see lemmy-ui/#1545. The fix is already in the wings, we just need to wait for the next minor/hotfix release before we can receive it.

It's working pretty good for me. And federation is great. But I can't seem to upload photos. Maybe there's a file size cap.

chaorace 1 point 3 years ago

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.

A new version was just released. One of the new features is parallel federation, in addition to reduced CPU usage. Hopefully if we upgrade to it, we'll see reduced federation lag with lemmy.world

To be honest I never notice the lag with lemmy.world but I'm excited for the new version regardless.

@SDF@lemmy.sdf.org: 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.

There's something wrong in federating with kbin.social communities, most of the posts are missing.

Example (click to sort by New):

https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/tech@kbin.social → 4 posts in past 24 hours
https://lemmy.zip/c/tech@kbin.social → 15 posts in past 24 hours
https://lemmy.world/c/tech@kbin.social → 14 posts in past 24 hours
https://kbin.social/m/tech/newest (original) → 17 posts in past 24 hours

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.

Is there a way for a user to check what version of Lemmy SDF Chatter is using?

path: 0 2225065, hotness: undefined, score: 1, children: 2

entropicdrift 1 point 3 years ago

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.
