Sorry for those
It's not your fault :) We know you admins are working really hard to keep the server as stable as possible.
Don't humanize them, they'll expect us to always treat them with respect! /s (obvs π)
- 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
Thanks, added to the post
Thanks, will put this in the post
Fwiw, it can be helpful to call out the date for such changes. Preferably in YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601).
While it's helpful to link to an off-site timezone converter tool (thanks for that, btw), "today" can be a different date, depending on where in the world you are. For example, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
Great! Thanks for keeping things up to date and running!
Minor suggestion: write your time zones like UTC+2 and not CEST. I'm pretty sure most people outside Europe don't know what the time zone CEST is. Yes, you provided a link that helpfully converts the time to the users' local time zone, but sometimes it's nicer to be able to know something without having to click into a link.
OK, updating the post
Wow, you actually changed it! I was kind of shocked when I came back to my feed seeing UTC+2 in the title. Thanks! :D
Yep, I like good tips like these. :-) Thanks
Super nitpick. Can we just use 1800 utc? Then everyone can convert to their zone directly. *signed me in a CEST zone.

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?
Is it me or is the 80% figure just insane?
Not really, you'd be surprised how often systems are bloated all because of a single option, character, etc. Most developers don't start optimizing until much later in the software's lifecycle. Often enough, it is easily overlooked. That's why code reviews are needed often with fresh pair of eyes.
Just to set the expectations, reducing database size or CPU usage does not necessarily mean it is faster but it does mean there's more free capacity on the servers to handle more users at the same performance.
More importantly; they may help reduce costs on the smaller indie instances that doesn't need to buy larger server instances.
Hopefully, we'll continue to see more of these optimizations.

Funnily enough, this is the feature that can speed up the performance by doing less calls:
The federation code now includes a check for dead instances which is used when sending activities. This helps to reduce the amount of outgoing POST requests, and also reduce server load.
Thank you for the heads up!!
2pm EST for us silly Freedum Unit folks.
EDT actually, not EST.
Thanks to you and all the dev team behind this β€ππ»ββοΈ
Thank yuuu
Thanks for all the fine work, dudes
Really liking the transparency with the community over how the server is doing.
Great work.
the best server! thank you
How do you turn on endless scrolling? I'm still seeing page numbers
Number 1 thing I miss from reddit w/ RES. π«
Infinite scroll and word filtering. If I see one more post about "AI", Musk, Twitter, or fake superconductors, I might have to get off the computer for 10 whole minutes.
I want to be able to ban/hide entire servers. Regularly seeing lemmynsfw celebrity communities pop up in All/Hot :| (I have nsfw disabled, so it's just generic photos of random women.)
Also an option would be nice to hide downvoted posts, I had that on in RES.

good luck!
Any idea if 18.3 will be able to provide more security?
in some ways: they now sanitize input so things like the xss attack a while ago is much much harder.
will it solve the ddos attacks they're experiencing? nope.

The federation code now includes a check for dead instances which is used when sending activities. This helps to reduce the amount of outgoing POST requests, and also reduce server load.
In terms of security, Lemmy now performs HTML sanitization on all messages which are submitted through the API or received via federation. Together with the tightened content-security-policy from 0.18.2, cross-site scripting attacks are now much more difficult.
Thanks as usual for the transparency, yβall.
Smooth! Curious about the new DB size
Down from 12GB to 1.8GB....
Wow, thats awesome for the backups and scalability!!
Me too. Creating a db dump now..
Will calckey.world be renamed as well, as upstream abandoned the calckey name?
Not renamed. A new server will be started where ppl can migrate to. Yet to determine a new name as firefish.world is taken..

A website which should let you check what time that is for your local time zone; although I used Central Europe Summer Time (CEST) instead of Central Europe Time (CET) and I'm not sure if that's right.
