Good morning,
Some of you may have experienced a small hiccup this morning (eastern time). I went ahead and upgraded our lemmy instance to 0.17.4. I also took this opportunity to make some small adjustments to the instance that required a restart of services. These changes were mainly related to increasing Federation worker count in hopes to decrease synchronization times with other instances. A small fix to help slow down the storage growth was also applied (limiting log sizes that get generated).
Everything should be back up now. In the future my goal is to be more transparent with scheduling downtime.
edit: updated link
Thanks for your amazing work !
Keep up the good work eh!
Thanks for your effort. I really have to say the performance here is very good compared to other instances (tried two others before I landed here). Shit just works.
Cat pics arent loading fast enough…
Please post donation link so we can upgrade the server!
Thanks for your hard work!
Good sh.it
Take my upvote and get out!
Love it
We should all adopt this when posting! LOL
Thanks for your hard work! It’s greatly appreciated.
Are you sure that’s the right link for the version? That changelog only goes to 0.17.2, 4 months ago. Wanted to see what changed.
You are right, wrong link! I just updated it. Thanks for the heads up
Thanks! Ah, so this is just a DB optimization patch. From the sounds of that changelog, all the big stuff is coming down the pipe in the next version. Presumably that’s when they’re finally turning off WebSockets.
I believe the devs were saying that they were moving away from websockets in v0.18.0 which is scheduled to come out in a few weeks
Can confirm talked to some of the UI devs that’s a main focus right now
thanks for the hard work
Great! Always nice to get new updates
Removed by mod
The security fixes were documented prior and manually applied on our old instance as well. This patch was to get the performance gains and align with the latest release!

Thank you very much for all your work and for giving us such a good home here!
Thanks for the all the hard work. Keep it up, so proud to be apart of this growing new community!
jolly good show ol chap! Great server!
Unclear if this happened since this patch or it was like this, but I am unable to log in on desktop. My Android app works fine, but on desktop, if I go to the login page then click login, the thing spins forever without any error message regardless of if my credentials are correct.
Edit: this doesn’t happen on blahaj.zone which runs 17.2. edit2: either you did something or it fixed itself.
I was getting that on a different one earlier, resetting my password fixed it for me.
Looks like yours is fixed already, but if someone else comes across this that’s worth a try
Is there a wiki of Lemmy or fediverse terminology for stuff like this? I’m not sure what “Federation worker count” is, but I also don’t know where to look to find the answer.
Not everything is documented but here is a link to the official lemmy documentation: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html
Yeah something like that was what I was looking for. I don’t see any mention of “Federation worker count” but… not everything is documented so whatever. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks!
