"This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these."

Hehe, lemmy.world doing some stress testing for the entire lemmy project.

I find it hilarious how the most random shit always changes with updates. Like I just noticed how the badges for mod and OP changed on posts, and so I knew there's an update. Who keeps constantly fidgeting with these things?

Ed: to be clear, I'm not dissing anyone. Keep it up folks

[–] Molecular0079 18 points 1 year ago

Yeah I wonder what the reasoning behind that was. Personally I preferred the old way, where it was completedly filled in. Made it easier to notice the tag by color. It also aligned more with the rest of the Lemmy UI and it's filled-in green buttons.

[–] matt 6 points 1 year ago

Haha, this is how fast-moving open source projects work, things change constantly as they believe it's better to just get (perceived) improvements out of the door when they're cooked up, instead of waiting in any capacity.

Awesome, now block threads.net from this instance. Lemmy.ml already did it.

[–] Galaxyboy_3598 9 points 1 year ago

I'm just gonna leave Lemmy.world while I'm ahead. The quietness says all we need to know.

Hi! I noticed an issue with the headers sent by Lemmy.world.

Headers sent from and to this website's official UI look like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
date: Fri, 07 Jul 2023 23:35:17 GMT
content-type: application/json
vary: accept-encoding, Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers
content-encoding: gzip
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, PUT, OPTIONS
access-control-allow-headers: DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range
access-control-expose-headers: content-encoding, content-type, vary, Content-Length,Content-Range
X-Firefox-Spdy: h2

Which is fine. However, headers received by custom clients look like this:

HTTP/2 200 OK
server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
date: Fri, 07 Jul 2023 23:33:50 GMT
content-type: application/json
vary: accept-encoding, Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers
content-encoding: gzip
access-control-allow-origin: https://natoboram.github.io
access-control-expose-headers: content-encoding, access-control-allow-origin, content-type, vary
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, PUT, OPTIONS
access-control-allow-headers: DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range
access-control-expose-headers: Content-Length,Content-Range
X-Firefox-Spdy: h2

There's two access-control-allow-origin! This still breaks web clients.

Hi Ruud, was wondering if you could check if lemmy.world/.well-known/security.txt actually exists on the server. It was added in 0.18.1 but either isn't being created or isn't public.

[–] trouser_mouse 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My favourite thing except the emoji is the new theme

[–] ruud 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hahah hadn’t seen that one, looks nice! Reminds me of the good old days..

[–] trouser_mouse 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha exactly! I just need to find my dot matrix printer paper with the holes and I'm all set to relive my youth

[–] ruud 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohh in my youth we had a MSX…

[–] trouser_mouse 6 points 1 year ago

Awesome! We had BBC Micro in schools here, I think at home we had a Commodore or it might have been an Amiga! it is a bit hard to remember so far back :) I remember writing a letter to my dad on it, quoting Monty Python and calling him a bastard lol, not knowing exactly what I was saying at the time. Ah, fond memories!

[–] wit 6 points 1 year ago

That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. What the fuck.

[–] ghariksforge 27 points 1 year ago

Congrats!

I just donated to celebrate this!

[–] GONADS125 26 points 1 year ago

Mobile browser is ultra fast and stable, and Jerboa is running like a charm! Appreciate all you and your team's hard work.

[–] Logical 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Can you please give us a straight answer regarding blocking threads.net? If you don't intend to do so, there are those of us who want to know so that we can leave.

Definitely notice the improved speed and fewer errors lately. Thanks so much for hosting a great instance, and for keeping up with its needs.

[–] nostalgicgamerz 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It’s working great, but we would appreciate an update in regards to letting meta in our instance or not

[–] Ghostalmedia 18 points 1 year ago

Nice work @ruud. Things are feeling MUCH better now.

[–] owatnext 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks for the update! But I noticed an issue: it seems you haven't commented on defederating from Threads? Please let us know if you are so we can respond accordingly.

[–] Kashbus 14 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.world running better and better, thank yall for all that you do!

[–] WhoRoger 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thank you! Much faster, and no JSON errors so far!

[–] meldroc 12 points 1 year ago

Definitely snappier! Thanks for all the hard work!

[–] vera 11 points 1 year ago

Nice to see speedups. I always thought it was ironic that kbin was faster than Lemmy when kbin is php and lemmy is rust. Makes sense it was database stuff. You can't solve that with language choice.

[–] Anti_Weeb_Penguin 11 points 1 year ago

It's blazing fast with liftoff app

[–] DarthBueller 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Where can I learn about transferring my community to another instance? Lemmy.worlds silence about threads means he has no intent to defederate so I need to move over to lemmy.ml.

Or is this not possible? Do I just need to walk away from my community because @ruud doesn’t care about the issue?

If that’s the case, how do I add a mod that doesn’t care about meta expressly stating they are going to add features to ActivityPub protocol (step two of EEE)? I don’t want to keep coming back here if it is federated with threads but I don’t need to leave whoever is staying here high and dry.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you move, don't move to Lemmy.ml, move to smaller instances

Thanks to all those working on lemmy.world !

Woo! Thanks for keeping this going in your spare time, hope you're getting time for cappuccinos! Congrats on the credits to you and all the team πŸ‘

Good to see for Lemmy.

[–] packetloss 6 points 1 year ago

Awesome! Thanks for all your hard work and providing an excellent community experience.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Keep up the great work! I hope you can manage to get some time for self-care in.

[–] Pulsar 6 points 1 year ago

It has been working great. Smooth like butter.

Thank you!
