Lemmy.ca's Main Community

Thanks @[email protected] for everything you do.

I know no one likes to talk about it because they think it looks cheap or desperate but I'll say it anyway.

SUPPORT YOUR LEMMY INSTANCE

I believe and it's my opinion that we should all normalize paying just a little bit to our instance operators to keep their service running. They have to pay costs for maintaining services and running hardware, the costs aren't much for a small instance but the costs grow as the system becomes popular with more users and more active users.

The more we normalize giving just a bit to our instance, the better protected they will become from burning out administrators, managers and owners who pay for the things that keep this engine running.

It's great to see all the changes they're making and that the devs are listening to community feedback. Looks like the community is also helping out a lot with all the shoutouts in that post!

HTTP API instead of Websocket

Super excited about this one. The live updates in the comments is kind of neat, but it makes trying to browse the All tab basically impossible.

I didn't see it mentioned - have they fixed the weird Hot/Active bug in this release?

Thanks @smorks for keeping this place running!

Sounds good. Keep up the good work!

yay two-factor authentication

Just wanted to say thank you for the time and resources you dedicate to maintaining the server.

Came here to check when this instance was updating, thanks for running it!

Have you considered installing the extension mentioned in this post to help examine the bottleneck issues?

That's a beefy release. I'm excited to see it. Good luck with the update and thanks for putting in the work.

Captchas are not available in this version, as they need to be reimplemented in a different way. They will be back in 0.18.1, so wait with upgrading if you rely on them.

Is there any concern about losing captchas? Seems like the bot situation is still rampant at this point. (Shouldn't be long though for it to get added again https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3289)

sorry everyone, kids baseball game went long. will hopefully start the upgrade around 10 CDT.

I was wondering when you were gonna tackle this. I hope it goes well!

Thanks for the work and hosting the instance!

Thanks for the efforts!

Neat, gonna take that time to read a bit ^^

Thanks! Maybe point https://status.lemmy.ca/ at somewhere you can let us know how it's going?

Thank you so much! For everything that you do!

Is it just me or is there some websocket that's causing the page to jump to the top every 3 seconds?
