Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
I have pushed forth the latest and greatest Lemmy upgrade as it come with some mind-blowing speed improvements, thanks to the DB query tweaking of @phiresky@lemmy.world
Just check how the load for lemmy.world decreased!
As a result, this instance should feel significantly snappier now. Let me know!
Y'all are nuts! It hasn't even been a week since I raised the call for fundraising and we already have it done!
It was sitting at 99% all morning, so I kept refreshing every 10 minutes to post this!
Great success!
As promised, I plan to send the overflow to lemmy development once I open the next goal. I'll let you all know!
Thanks to the work of @RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com we now have a new personalized theme for this instance.
The theme is open sourced and lives in this repo. We're planning to add more themes soon and hopefully a few other cool features like user flairs. If you want to assist improving them, feel free to send PRs or ideas.
The theme is based on the work of @pkrasicki@lemmy.world
If you don't like the default theme, you can always switch to the standard ones in your user settings
Divisions by zero should feel way snappier now. Let me know if you notice any weirdness.
Unfortunately this, along with my new requirements for a paid SMTP relay has effectively tripled my costs >_< . Please help cover some of them.
The pictrs migration script has finished, but it seems it might not have migrated all images. I am noticing some errors on the container and I see a bunch of posts missing them.
I'm leaving it up for now and I'm going to look how and if I can fix this
As I had said a while ago, I'm doing some light inactive community pruning on the regular.
This time I looked for communities with 0 posts and low effort (i.e. no description, banners etc). I didn't bother to send a warning because that just adds extra effort for me. If you can't put any effort when starting a community, I can't be expected to put any effort when deleting it for abandonment, eh?
In case anyone else is interested, here's the SQL query I used to detect abandoned communities.
SELECT c.id, c.name, c.local, c.published
FROM public.community AS c
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT community_id, COUNT(*) AS post_count
FROM public.post
GROUP BY community_id
) AS p ON c.id = p.community_id
WHERE c.local = true
If they don't have any post, description and banner after 10 days, then I consider them low-effort and purge them immediately.
For the communities I've seen at least a bit of effort, I plan to still send warnings first.
About 20 communities were pruned this time (including 3 of mine :D )
So I've noticed while using an RSS feed app alongside Jebora, that while original post from other users of the same instance appear in full and with photos, like so:
However if a user is from another instance, the OP content is not visble at all, as so:
Other than that, RSS works great as a notification system for Communities. Figured id leave this here to help out anyone looking for a notification style system for new posts.
After some hiccups due to lemmy not following the hjson standard suddenly, I managed to get this done. (h/t to @spacedogroy@feddit.uk )
Damn that took way longer than it should have >_<
Anyway, let me know if anything appears broken and if you want, do consider helping with the server costs and the time required to maintain them
I'm am looking to upgrading versions soon. Unfortunately there were massive changes in the reverse proxy setup, which means I need to change a lot of things in my reverse proxy setup. I am hoping I don't cause too much of a downtime, but if I know, you now know why
