MODERATORS
As somebody who flocked to Voat during the height of the Ellen Pao controversy and remembered the site being rendered unusable for whole days at a time from the Reddit Hug of Death, I'm remarkably surprised at how well Lemmy.world has held up. I thought the fediverse would have truly crumbled from this exodus.
I remember when Voat came out and the slight exedous that brought. I made an account and everything but it never properly took off. I checked on it two or three years later and it was just filled with alt-right/racist/transphobic garbage. Sad it never took off as a reddit alternative, reddit likely would have greatly benefited from a proper alternative, not sad it closed down after I saw what it ended up.
So far the fediverse feels really different tho, very explicitly anti that type of shit. I'm sure it will pop up, they always do, but maybe now people know how to deal with it. Block it, defederate, deplatform.
FYI, it has popped up explodingheads is a great example but many servers including lemmy.world became proactive in defederating from the instance

Thanks for the update!
The good thing about the fediverse is we can sign up on federated servers and still interact with everything on lemmy.world without the errors, then come back to our lemmy.world accounts when everything is smoother

Thanks for your work, you are making the Internet a better place!
Keep up the good work. It's nice to feel like we are back on the bleeding edge.
Thanks! Love updates. I moved to lemm.ee for now, I'll come back to your world when you got room for my fat arse.
Canβt go wrong with either, both admins are very communicative.
As a game dev for bigwigs I know all too well about memory leaks, and so very much appreciate your patch notes, updates, and transparency. You're doing great with such fast exponential growth
π Thanks for your hard work!

@ruud > That is, if we restart Lemmy every 30 minutes. Else memory will go to 100%
Hmm, makes me curious if there is a Lemmy memory leak, or simply that the load wants to stabilize above of the RAM you have? I hope contributions can help you with another 32 GB RAM? Thank you for your work! π»
Can we configure the website to not automatically collapse deep replies? Or at least to collapse them only past six or seven layers deep?
Would donations help in the long run? How can we donate?

Donations definitely help. They are a real motivator and allow people to make more time for contributing. For instances it is also a way to cover hosting costs.
You can donate directly to the Lemmy development or you can see if your instance accepts donations. Personally I just signed up to the Lemmy Patreon.

Keep up the good work! Things have been really snappy the past few hours π
Thanks for making this possible in the first place π€
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?
I am using Jerboa right now and I installed just a couple days ago. Must've been silently fixed.
lemmy.world is on 0.18.1 since a couple days ago, that was the problem.
0.17->0.18 changed some APIs, and lemmy.world was sticking with 0.17 for a while due to broken stuff in 0.18, which broke Jerboa which just expects 0.18.

This has been such a refreshing change from reddit! I'm willing to deal with occasional hiccups, and I know it will only get better with time. Keep it up!
Please keep working on it, thank you for your effort.
Nice! It feels better now.
People of lemmy.world should encourage the new users joining up on lemmy.world to other create accounts on other instances instead
