A few quick notes on discussions the administrator team has had, since we’ve fielded a lot of questions in these particular fields. We’re posting this both for transparency and to help us limit the load of having to respond to each of you individually.
- We would like to become an official nonprofit at some point, but there is a cost associated with this, we are not lawyers, and we might need to change where/how we collect donations to do so.
- We’ve upgraded the server approximately 7 times now. We’re trying to balance fiscal responsibility with server costs. We are aware that digital ocean isn’t the cheapest server and we are trying to be conservative with estimates and give ourselves extra runtime at whatever tier we are on. We’re also hoping that the upcoming lemmy version will solve a lot of our CPU-bound issues.
We are aware of the following bugs:
- the “report created” indicator flashes in the bottom left corner for some users randomly, even non-moderator users
- sometimes, briefly or without a refresh, the username in the top corner will not be your own; as far as we can tell this is purely cosmetic and is not a security issue
- sometimes the post you’re in changes to another post for no clear reason
Thanks for all the hard work. It’s seen and appreciated.
On the existing bugs/issues, are these issues with the Lemmy code in general or with the specific implementation here? Do you all need help triaging or finding root cause of issues? I am a test engineer and might be able to help out with digging into finding problems.
We will post in beehaw support when we have specific issues, we did this a few days ago and there’s already merge requests to fix it
I’ll keep a closer eye on things and maybe I can lend a hand for future problems. Glad they are getting addressed!
There is, certainly, a memory leak somewhere in the Lemmy software. @[email protected] has been trying to identify the precise location(s).
I’m sure the Lemmy developers would like help triaging and finding root cause of issues! Here’s where you can find their repos : https://github.com/LemmyNet/
They’re Lemmy-wide I believe. Have a second account on lemmy.world and I’ve seen at least the first and third bugs happen there too.
