Lemmy.world status update 2023-07-04
Status update July 4th
Just wanted to let you know where we are with Lemmy.world.
Issues
As you might have noticed, things still won't work as desired.. we see several issues:
Performance
- Loading is mostly OK, but sometimes things take forever
- We (and you) see many 502 errors, resulting in empty pages etc.
- 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%)
Bugs
- Replying to a DM doesn't seem to work. When hitting reply, you get a box with the original message which you can edit and save (which does nothing)
- 2FA seems to be a problem for many people. It doesn't always work as expected.
Troubleshooting
We have many people helping us, with (site) moderation, sysadmin, troubleshooting, advise etc. There currently are 25 people in our Discord, including admins of other servers. In the Sysadmin channel we are with 8 people. We do troubleshooting sessions with these, and sometimes others. One of the Lemmy devs, @nutomic@lemmy.ml is also helping with current issues.
So, all is not yet running smoothly as we hoped, but with all this help we'll surely get there! Also thank you all for the donations, this helps giving the possibility to use the hardware and tools needed to keep Lemmy.world running!
You're viewing a single thread.
Thanks u/ruud!
How are you managing all of this in addition to having a life outside of Lemmy? This kind of went from 0-60 in a blink.
Same happened with mastodon.world in November. Family goes first, then work, and then all of my hobbies, of which this is one. (But the one taking up most time at the moment...)
You’re a legend! Thanks so much Ruud!
Glad to hear that your priorities are in the right order. Family comes before helping random strangers posts pictures of beans on the internet.
Small remark instead of /u/.... you should use the at-sign
@to mention somebody. For example: Hey @Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world.How do you know which community the user is from?
It should tell you on mousehover if not straight up listed. If there's no community, it's because they come from lemmy.world.
TBH its all confusing and all names should be full names like email adress.
In the browser when you hover over the display name, you should see the full username. I don't know how it's shown in the various apps but it should appear if you view the user's profile.
