[Done] Lemmy world was upgraded to 0.18.3 today (2023-07-30)

Sorry for those

It's not your fault :) We know you admins are working really hard to keep the server as stable as possible.

• Add controversial ranking
• Change logic for determining comment default language
• Add infinite scroll user option

Neat. I hope the comment language logic change means the default won't be "Undetermined" anymore.

I'm sure the attacks are just as annoying for you guys as they are to us, if not more. Appreciate the update.

Edit: Loving the endless scroll for the front page! I've been eagerly awaiting that. Such a small change, but such a big impact.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

see what time this is in your time zone

Really liking the transparency with the community over how the server is doing.

Great work.

Great! Thanks for keeping things up to date and running!

Minor suggestion: write your time zones like UTC+2 and not CEST. I'm pretty sure most people outside Europe don't know what the time zone CEST is. Yes, you provided a link that helpfully converts the time to the users' local time zone, but sometimes it's nicer to be able to know something without having to click into a link.

This version brings major optimizations to the database queries, which significantly reduces CPU usage. There is also a change to the way federation activities are stored, which reduces database size by around 80%.

Is it me or is the 80% figure just insane? Are there any benchmarks to see how fast this has become versus say Lemmy 0.18.2 on a very large instance?

How do you turn on endless scrolling? I'm still seeing page numbers

Looks like the upgrade is done and was a quick and easy success, thank you Devs!

Thank you for the heads up!!

2pm EST for us silly Freedum Unit folks.

Smooth! Curious about the new DB size

Why are these announcements the only place I am finding out the Lemmy has an update? I figured there would be more top level discussions about it on Lemmy. Maybe I am just not following the correct communities.

Awesome! It’s great to see thing become snappier and better since I joined Lemmy.

Reddit would almost never update unless it was a pants on fire situation or they would force feed features that no one wanted or even was tested properly.

A big thank you to everyone involved, FROM those taking the time to submit bug descriptions in a reproducible manner and those making feature requests or those simply upvoting and pointing out the most needed patch/updates TO simultaneously amateur, newly minted coders and veteran developpers pushing small and big patches to fix anything from typos, reformatting old code, cleaning almost unnoticeable UI object, transition less performing backend modules or secure/harden of all these moving parts.

I am glad to witness and be a part of the perpetual progress of the fediverse.

Thanks as usual for the transparency, y’all.

Thanks to you and all the dev team behind this ❤🙇🏻‍♂️

Will it change the behaviour of sorting by hot? seeing post from years ago is funny

Thanks for all the fine work, dudes

Maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see the option for infinite scroll anywhere. How do I add that?

Thank yuuu

Good to see for Lemmy.

anyone see where “infinite scroll” is?

the best server! thank you

Any idea who might be launching the ddos attacks?

good luck!

5 minutes to go. Fingers crossed for a smooth upgrade.

I se e this UI has a bug where when you click more in the comments you get a bunch of duplicates. It's on other instances too

Any idea if 18.3 will be able to provide more security?

Will calckey.world be renamed as well, as upstream abandoned the calckey name?

Thanks for your amazing work as always!

A website which should let you check what time that is for your local time zone; although I used Central Europe Summer Time (CEST) instead of Central Europe Time (CET) and I'm not sure if that's right.

my body is ready

EDIT: App closed, cache cleared - back to normal.

This is odd. ALL only has 9 posts. Subscriptions has 1. Refreshing makes no change.

Android, Thunder app. API issue?

I just checked via Firefox - all OK so I will post to the Thunder app community. Any other apps having issues?

Thanks for the notice, I've upgraded my instance as well.

Thanks so much for all you do, man. I’ll get those stickers up ASAP <3

Awesome changelog, love optimizations!

that was quick!

Great work. I prefer some downtime to twAtter anyday.

I hope this isn't what brought down lemmy.one, I'm seeking refugee status from them. :)

Good luck!

Is that why I got cloudflare banned last night? All I did was click my Local Top Day bookmark.

Looks good here, thanks!

Amazing job!

Nice! Just updated my own self-hosted instance, went super smooth and quick.

I can't tell if this is a new liftoff bug, or related to the recent migration.. it's when trying to open the list of places I'm subscribed to

Did you change the site's database management system?

^^^

Is there way to finally fix the bug causing user stats to reset every time?

Very fast update and congrats on the reduction of the db size!

Version 0.18.3 of what?

Wait, wasn't it upgraded already to 0.18.3?

Ok.

Cool, now defederate from lemmygrad.ml
