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

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

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

Great work.

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?

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

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

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.

Thanks as usual for the transparency, y’all.

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 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

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

Thanks for all the fine work, dudes

Thank yuuu

Good to see for Lemmy.

anyone see where “infinite scroll” is?
