"This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these."
Hehe, lemmy.world doing some stress testing for the entire lemmy project.
I find it hilarious how the most random shit always changes with updates. Like I just noticed how the badges for mod and OP changed on posts, and so I knew there's an update. Who keeps constantly fidgeting with these things?
Ed: to be clear, I'm not dissing anyone. Keep it up folks
Yeah I wonder what the reasoning behind that was. Personally I preferred the old way, where it was completedly filled in. Made it easier to notice the tag by color. It also aligned more with the rest of the Lemmy UI and it's filled-in green buttons.
Hi Ruud, was wondering if you could check if lemmy.world/.well-known/security.txt actually exists on the server. It was added in 0.18.1 but either isn't being created or isn't public.
Awesome! We had BBC Micro in schools here, I think at home we had a Commodore or it might have been an Amiga! it is a bit hard to remember so far back :) I remember writing a letter to my dad on it, quoting Monty Python and calling him a bastard lol, not knowing exactly what I was saying at the time. Ah, fond memories!
Can you please give us a straight answer regarding blocking threads.net?
If you don't intend to do so, there are those of us who want to know so that we can leave.
Threads big and scary. Smol bois in the Fediverse have been discussing preemptively defederating from Threads due to how big and scary it is in an attempt to protect themselves and the Fediverse as a whole.
Threads is the new Facebook-owned twitter come. It uses the activity pub protocol and is therefore part of the fediverse.
People are concerned that Facebook with embrace the fediverse, enhance it with me features (as they will be the largest developers on the platform) and then either deliberately or because no-one can keep up with their development extinguish it.
Thanks for the update! But I noticed an issue: it seems you haven't commented on defederating from Threads? Please let us know if you are so we can respond accordingly.
Yup, hence why I'm on lemm.ee. Originally made an instance to cover when .world was being slow but I think this will be my main now. They haven't finalized the vote but it seems to be going the defed route.
Still hugely supportive of the .world admins though. They've done a ton of work to keep .world running and a ton of digging that will help lemmy overall. I just don't agree with federating with big social media.
Where can I learn about transferring my community to another instance? Lemmy.worlds silence about threads means he has no intent to defederate so I need to move over to lemmy.ml.
Or is this not possible? Do I just need to walk away from my community because @ruud doesnāt care about the issue?
If thatās the case, how do I add a mod that doesnāt care about meta expressly stating they are going to add features to ActivityPub protocol (step two of EEE)? I donāt want to keep coming back here if it is federated with threads but I donāt need to leave whoever is staying here high and dry.
It really seems like having my own personal instance is the way to go. The only users Iād need to have are mods of any community I create on it. Then I can defederate with tech co instances. damn. I was really starting to like ālocalā here, but the fact that @ruud@lemmy.world is totally silent about threads is just absolute BS.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting your post but what's the point of having an instance if your only users are the mods you appoint? You'd just be creating your own personal echo chamber. The whole point of a site like this, at least as I see it, is to bring in a wide variety of users with different opinions. That's a big reason why Reddit was so successful in the early days. I know that everyone is anti-Threads and Meta, but clearly @ruud@ruud@lemmy.world knows something we don't. I think being federated with Threads could be a good chance to grow this community and bring more attention to the Fediverse as a whole. If you see something from a Threads instance that you really don't like, you can always block and/or mute the account. On Mastodon, you can block entire instances from showing up in your feed. I'm not sure if that is a thing with Lemmy or not, but if not, it might not be a bad thing to implement later on. Sorry for the wall of text.
Use the ansible Lemmy install, it's very simple and will also create https certs and everything. But you need a domain first, pointed at your hosted server ip address.
How much power does it take to run an instance? Not planning on hosting my own, just curious. I read stories about people being able to host a Mastodon instance on a Raspberry Pi.
Yeah it doesn't take much for a small instance. My instance uses 1 GB of memory and like 2% cpu on each core (got 3 cores). But I only have a handful of active users.
Nice to see speedups. I always thought it was ironic that kbin was faster than Lemmy when kbin is php and lemmy is rust. Makes sense it was database stuff. You can't solve that with language choice.
Thanks @ruud@lemmy.world . Will this be normal cadence ? You are doing what you can because of major bug fixes but should the largest lemmy instance be the latest version ?
Any plans to allow cryptocurrency donations to help fund the costs of the servers? If you post a Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin address in the sidebar under Donations, I will send some crypto now and them to help with the costs.
Have been looking into this, haven't yet found an easy way to accept donations via crypto. It needs to be transparent so people can see what's donated, without having to dig through the blockchain :-) When I find an option I'll add it.
Yeah, but we run a special build with the retry-queue disabled, if we don't we need to restart every 30 mins because of memory leaks.
So I've requested another built of 0.18.2 without the retry

Make your own instances. No more issues.
DarthBueller@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Is there a quality guide for how to do this? Preferably hosted rather than my home server.
mrmanager@lemmy.today · 7 pts · 3y
Use the ansible Lemmy install, it's very simple and will also create https certs and everything. But you need a domain first, pointed at your hosted server ip address.
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible
So basically:
That's pretty much it. The ansible install takes care of everything.
Then you need to subscribe to some other instance community from your instance so other instances know you exist, for federation to work.

Awesome, thanks.
