Nice
Do you think you guys could do a post on the underlying hardware/infrastructure of .world? I would love to see what it takes to run the largest Lemmy instance lmao
in short form, we have HAproxy running on a hetzner cloud VM for Lemmy/Lemmy-UI, another HAproxy VM for the alt UIs, a VM for the alt UIs.
for the main LW box, which runs lemmy containers, lemmy-ui, pictrs and a database each for lemmy and pictrs, we have a physical box with an EPYC 7502P 32 core CPU, 128GB memory and NVMe SSDs.

Are the comment upvote and downvote numbers gone intentionally?
There are now settings to display or hide them
That's cool, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I have all on in my settings:
But the numbers don't show:
Apparently theyβre next to the timestamp now (you can see the ββ 4β on your screenshot, and if you sort this postβs comments by Best, the Futurama meme shows as ββ 87 β 1β)
I might be a bit confused, but I just went to my settings to see, and both "show upvotes" and "show downvotes" were ticked already, by default. I refreshed the page (Ctr+Shift+R), and it's still the same.

Someone ELI5 why Lemmy is or isn't ready for a Reddit Exodus.
Personally, I want it to be. Reddit censorship/shadowbans/deletes is outta control. Imo the problem lemmy has is on Desktop, since on Android there are some great apps like Boost that give it a Reddit-like end user experience, wheras Desktop experience in a browser is No equivalent of RES, or classic reddit. Opening images is very janky. I like RESs 'view images buttons, that untwirls all view image buttons. Using lemmy on desktop is a Chore. I can handle it. But I imagine its very much a bad taste and an impediment to a greater influx of average users.
Its about time we left reddit behind and make Desktop lemmy more welcoming. The times we're in requires a trustable platform. Reddit ain't it.
in my opinion it's the login experience. selecting an instance is too confusing for the average user.
I think it's just a matter of explaining instances in a clear and concise way. This isn't a Lemmy-specific issue though - it's a problem for all of the fediverse.
https://join-lemmy.org/instances says "You can access all content in the lemmyverse from any server, so it doesn't matter which one you choose.", but that still leaves some things unanswered.
It seems to have done a decent job of helping new users find a suitable server with a few simple questions though.

Finally, the ability to view (and delete!) your own uploads.
FYI, the sorting on the uploads tab is broken. Obviously I don't expect sorting by "top" or "controversial" or whatever to work, but sorting by "old" doesn't, either. It's always sorted by newest first. But at least it's something. (I know for sure I have images uploaded that were not used in posts.)
This is the update that'll break sync, right?
Sad times, but I guess I'm gonna be deciding between boost and infinity tomorrow
No it won't. That's the next major release, this is just LW catching up.
partial breakage, the stuff that people on other instances have already been experiencing for a while.
iirc there are still some additional issues with sync arising with the update, but it won't be entirely broken.

Give Voyager a try as well!!
I used sync for reddit for years, but I kinda hope sync dies. But I also have an axe to grind with the dev after they invalidated the app purchases and made people buy it again to not have ads. Plus their inability to update on a regular basis is kinda terrible, and has continued. One of the top posts on the sync community when I checked was to not report PMs because it will actually report a random comment with the same ID, which is just a massive fuck up given the amount of spam PMs.
Honestly I was fine with the rebuy at first since it was a significant recode AND because they promised to stay on top of development a lot better than they had in the past. Obviously that was a lie and that's why I'm frustrated with them.
they invalidated the app purchases and made people buy it again to not have ads.
Exactly. Not even a discount. I think it was even more expensive than the reddit version.
I just checked. It's $20 to remove ads. Wow.
I also checked to see how much it cost for the reddit version. I paid $4 to remove ads and $5 for the "pro" version. That's more than I've paid for any app. Now they want another $20 to remove ads on an app they neglect and ignore their customers? Disgusting.
Plus their inability to update on a regular basis is kinda terrible, and has continued.
Not just continued, but has gotten worse. Additionally, it's even more important to update more frequently because of the more frequent changes. It was also never fully functional for Lemmy. For example, spoilers have never worked.
To add to all that, they don't even have the decency to pop in for a quick comment or two just to help people feel better.

Good luck admins! And thanks for doing it during the Carabao cup final so I have something else to occupy my time while lemmy.world is down :)
Hopefully this will improve the sync/federation process between LW and other instances, especially those further away geographically :)
