I switched to a regional instance to take the load off for everyone, Lemmy is even better!

Thanks for putting in all the hard work. Especially on a holiday. We appreciate you guys!

Thanks for your work, you are making the Internet a better place!

Thanks for the update!

Are there any plans to make user up and down votes not viewable publicly? I know for a lot of new adopters this can be a deal breaker.

Thanks a LOT for your work. It's amazing seeing what people can do when they work together for a good cause.

That DM sending bug was already fixed in a later rc version. Although in rc.9 (and possibly rc.10) there is a weird bug where you can't sign out. Fun stuff.

Encouraging to hear about how much help you're getting. A happy lemmyverse is a happy fediverse?

As a former programmer, I appreciate the hard work you folks are putting in so the rest of us can putter away our free time. You're doing great. Thank you.

Keep up the good work. It's nice to feel like we are back on the bleeding edge.

Keep up the great work! We believe in you! Just a reminder to everyone to help sustain lemmy.world by donating in the sidebar! If 1000 people all donated $2/month then that's 24K a year to keep the hardware running! Reddit is what happens when you rely on Corporate Overlords to provide the services you love.

All these updates are really much appreciated. I would love to see the conversations happening in this discord but I understand that you would want to limit that to only a small group: do you have someone making sure this is archived somewhere, and available in a few years? That would be a nice read then.

Keep up the good work! Things have been really snappy the past few hours 😎

Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do!

Is there anything that people can do to help if they’re unable assist in troubleshooting?

Thanks for the hard work and transparency. It gives confidence that you guys will get through this.

It is hard not to root for your success in this. I'm temporarily off .world, but would love to come back when you guys get this under control more.

That’s cool. Appreciate the work to you all!

More props for you and the other admins as you ride the waves. It’s for a great cause.

Huge heartfelt thank you to everyone involved - given the huge growth you're doing awesome!

It would be great to see plans on how to grow in a controlled and safe way and plans for improving the performance. Really hope you have the funds needed and continue to have the income to support everything needed.

Thank you again, it's wonderful to get an update!

Again, thanks for all your hard work, and your transparency about the whole ordeal. Hopefully, the userbase in general is being patient and understanding given the situation.

Can we configure the website to not automatically collapse deep replies? Or at least to collapse them only past six or seven layers deep?

I hope hosting all these massive communities is enough a portfolio to land Ruud a crazy job offer one day that pays him stupid levels of money while allowing him plenty of time off to maintain these massive hobby projects.

Thanks for all your efforts.

I'm sorry to hear you're using Discord, for me it fits right in with the likes of Reddit, Twitter and Facebook. Why not use something independant and federated like Matrix or XMPP?

Thank you. Y'all are doing great.

I'm sure it's stressful but I know I'm here to stay. It's been a blast so far

I appreciate the transparency. Keep it up! Everyone is loving it here (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤!

Using the connect for Lemmy app produces constant Under Maintenance or html code or 504 errors. It seems to load better on Chrome.
