Relevant: https://reddthat.com/comment/8316861 tl;dr. The current centralisation results in a lemmy-verse theoretical maximum for of 1 activity per 0.3 seconds, or 200 activities per minute. As total transfer of packets is just under 0.3 seconds between EU -> AU and back.
Edit: can't math when sleepy
We rebuilt the Lemmy container with an extra logging patch. Seems build docs need some work? as that's the only difference in the past 1-2 days, except for moving to postgres 16...
Thanks for the ping.
I've gone back to mainline Lemmy. @Morpheus@lemmy.today check now please
See my PR for a new backup script. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/210
I'll get to adding it to the main docs on the weekend.
Tldr, piping your backups via docker is CPU expensive. Directly writing to filesystem in a postgres compatible format with compression is faster and more efficient on the CPU.
My 90GB+ (on filesystem) db compresses to 6GB and takes less than 15 mins.
Been running this since -rc1 & 0.19.1 for the past 13 hours. No issues related to Federation since! just higher CPU load compared to 0.18.x releases.
Thanks for another great release. Suppose I should go fix our ansible ey?
It's a sad day when something like this happens. Unfortunately with how the Lemmy's All
works it's possible a huge amount of the initial downvotes are regular people not wanting to see the content, as downvotes are federated. This constituted as part of my original choices for disabling it when I started my instance. We had the gripes people are displaying here and it probably constituted to a lack in Reddthat's growth potential.
There needs to be work done not only for flairs, which I like the idea of, but for a curated All
/Frontpage
(per-instance). Too many times I see people unable to find communities or new content that piques their interest. Having to "wade through" All-New to find content might attribute to the current detriment as instead of a general niche they might want to enjoy they are bombarded with things they dislike.
Tough problem to solve in a federated space. Hell... can't even get every instance to update to 0.18.5 so federated moderation actions happen. If we can't all decide on a common Lemmy instance version, I doubt we can ask our users to be subjected to not using the tools at their disposal. (up/down/report).
Keep on Keeping on!

No worries! I hope the community comes back around!
Yeah funding is good. Completely community funded :) Ours is on open collective if you want to see it 😉 (we are completely transparent)
