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, @[email protected] 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!
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?
Yes, Jerboa now works with lemmy.world
I installed Jerboa, but I can’t login with my account on there.
Thanks, just updated and all good.
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.
