Thank you for everything! Can we donate to cover the costs? If more people throw in $5, we all will benefit. Can Lemmy server scale up without needing RAM exponentially growing with the user number? I hope the system will get better optimized for bigger user base as the time goes on..

There are two donation options listed in the sidebar, idk if one is better than the other from their pov
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

Can we configure the website to not automatically collapse deep replies? Or at least to collapse them only past six or seven layers deep?
Yβall doing amazing things keeping us going π₯
Keep up the good work! Things have been really snappy the past few hours π
Thanks for keeping us apprised. Hopefully you will find the resource leak.
Nice! It feels better now.
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.

@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»
To all the folks that are worried, don't be. Let me tell you, Mastodon was a wreck when Musk took over Twitter and that all got sorted out within a week or so. The mods and sysadmin are obviously working hard to get things up and running, but growing pains are growing pains. To paraphrase an old adage: "Facebook wasn't built in a day." In the beginning, Zuck and Co literally limited signups to only people with college email accounts and only added universities a few domains at a time... scaling is very difficult, but it's not impossible. The way things are going, Lemmy is going to thrive!
Don't know about anyone else but I keep getting a "cannot load comments"error and the whole post goes blank.

Huge respect for what you've built here, but it might be worth reaching out to the lemm.ee admin. I only know enough DevOps and cloud hosting to be dangerous, not helpful. But his instance seems stable and scalable. He might be able to offer some insight into the issues here
Yes he's one of the other admins in our Discord, he's very helpful!
Keep up the good work. It's nice to feel like we are back on the bleeding edge.
What was that? We're going to need more and better hardware soon, and you have a Patreon and a paypal on the sidebar?
Yeah, that sounds pretty reasonable, we can work with that.
