There is a bug in 0.17.4 that stops front pages from updating shortly after the server is restarted, thus resulting in βhotβ and "active" showing stale posts.
I have fixed this issue on https://lemm.ee already, you can check our front page to see fresh posts. The fix will soon land in the main Lemmy codebase as well so other instances can take advantage, you can track the issue here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076
I have also advised other instance admins that regularly restarting their Lemmy server will work as a band-aid workaround until the proper fix is released, so some admins have already implemented this in order to get their post rankings working again, but the proper fix will come in the next release of Lemmy.
I love you
Welcome to Costco
Thanks for your work debugging and fixing this for everyone.
Hey there, I appreciate all the work you guys are all doing to keep this going. We see you and thank you.
I was halfway through reading this when I immediately thought "is the 'solution' just regularly restarting the server?" lol
How many people are working on Lemmy?
There are two maintainers, but it's open source, so dozens of others have contributed over the years (and a lot of new contributors have joined in the current month - myself included!)
When would you expect the fix to make it to the main codebase?
The most crucial fix has already been merged and should be included in the 0.18 release of Lemmy!
I poked around to see which bugs are being worked on and whatnot on lemmy-ui's github, but I couldn't find the release schedule (new to open source projects like this).
Is there a way to get a sense of when a new version drop will be applied outside of being an actual contributor or is that all hidden/just in the minds of the maintainers?
AFAIK there is no release schedule as such, it's more a situation of it'll be released no sooner or later than when it's ready for release π
I know it can be frustrating to hear that as a user, but it really is better than promising a release date, and then either failing to deliver on time, or delivering something which you know is not really ready.
Not at all. I get it completely. I do some programming for my 9-5 and have our releases and stuff scheduled in our Jira, but that's a private dev team, not a open source project like this and it doesn't use github/gitlab for anything.
Expectation management and getting people to understand why we didn't deploy at the specified time is a huge annoyance, lol.
You donβt use version control at work?
Yeah, just not git based.
Iβm interested what you do use!
I wish it were git...
We use subversion primarily.
oh im so sorry
Let's cry together, my boss wants me to write him all changes via email including screenshots of code. So that the different versions are "archived" and can be "backtracked".
I wish there where upvote, downvote, and hug options.
@sunaurus @lemmyworld Glad to hear. I have accounts on lemmy and Mastodon and some times have to use lemmy web. Would be nice to see new posts.
Awesome! Appreciate your hard work!
This will cause another problem. The outbound federation queue is held in RAM only, and restarting lemmy_server will cause it to forget to send copies of comments and postings to other instances when it has not yet finished delivery. see issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2142
