[Done] New try at upgrading to 0.18.1 July 1st 20:00 CET (lemmy.world)

We'll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I've had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.

Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.

Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.

We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh.. it's July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let's hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.

I've spent almost an hour trying to just to sign up. Poor servers. This is my first comment here and I sincerely hope this takes off in the best way.

I’ve been on here almost a month and there are usually very few issues and the admin team are quick to troubleshoot when an issue does arise. It should calm down soon!

Been here for a month~. Other than a few growing pains it's been pretty smooth. An initial learning curve on the whole instance/lemmy/fediverse thing and learning to sort by all/hot or active instead of just "local" to get ALL if the lemmy-verse instead of just your own instance. Once you learn how to use it it's a much better experience the reddit. Right now it's getting the reddit hug of death. But it will survive and flourish.

Servers are being hammered hard right now lol, but it should calm down soon, you'll see it's pretty stable outside of reddit hugs of death :D

It'll calm down as in more resources are provisioned or redditors looking to ditch reddit give up and go back to reddit because of stability issues, thus lowering use count closer to normal?

Because the later isn't ideal 😬

I have business fiber and my own compute, can nodes be ran distributed? I'd be happy to spin up VMs to run a node service. Or does this rely on a single central host?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can host your own instance, which will be federated with this one by default. Every little bit helps.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you tell me more?

Can we have distributed compute? Is there some official process to be federated with lemmy.world to provide resources? How do upgrades work? I assume some sort of consensus algorithm is in use (ie. Raft)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's not distributed computing, they are different servers independent from each other but that replicate data among them because they use the same communication protocol (ActivityPub), that's what federation does.
