"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.

Ooh I need to check the size of the custom emoji 😄

The Rodent is bitchin' fast now. Thank you, operators!

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

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

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.

Congrats!

I just donated to celebrate this!

My favourite thing except the emoji is the new theme

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

ooh this is what everyone is doing

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

Definitely snappier! Thanks for all the hard work!

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.

It's blazing fast with liftoff app

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.

Glad to see the admins keeping the instance up to date

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 👍

Thanks to all those working on lemmy.world !

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

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

Good to see for Lemmy.

It has been working great. Smooth like butter.

Thank you!

Thanks @[email protected] . Will this be normal cadence ? You are doing what you can because of major bug fixes but should the largest lemmy instance be the latest version ?

I suppose this fixes issues with sorting by Active, Hot etc.

Have any comments on the overall load on the server now and how it might look with any further growth?

How does lemmy compare to say mastodon or calckey in terms of server load for example?

Awesome, robo-lemming has been upgraded!

Just donated. Thank you for giving us Lemmy.

Woohoo 🥳🥳

Great work as always, thanks!

Very nice, very smooth

Any plans to allow cryptocurrency donations to help fund the costs of the servers? If you post a Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin address in the sidebar under Donations, I will send some crypto now and them to help with the costs.

Congrats! 👍🤙

Thank you for your work!

0.18.2 is out, btw

congrats :)

Working great for me!

wew nice!!
