Thank you for the transparency @ruud@lemmy.world It is rare for platforms to scale this quickly so issues like this are inevitable. Good luck for the troubleshooting!

Thanks for the transparency, and communication. I think it's always better when the userbase is able to understand what is going on rather than being left in the dark wondering what is going wrong. Keep up the good work, but also be sure you guys get enough rest, and take care of yourselves too.

Thanks for the transparency and keep up the good work!

This has been such a refreshing change from reddit! I'm willing to deal with occasional hiccups, and I know it will only get better with time. Keep it up!

Y’all doing amazing things keeping us going 🔥

Thanks for keeping us apprised. Hopefully you will find the resource leak.

Thank you for all of your effort on this. Adjusting to rapid growth is a huge challenge, and we all appreciate the effort you and everyone else is putting in to trying to make this instance run smoothly.

Thank you to you and everyone behind the scenes working hard to make Lemmy a great place. I am turkey enjoying the experience even with the bugs. Brings back a ton of nostalgia with modern mixed in.

Thanks for all the work you, and all the others do to welcome so many new users, and thank you for keeping us posted on your efforts to smooth things over.

From what I see the general sentiment is very positive and understanding, and it feels special to be part of a community that's more upbeat than what you see in most online places.

around 25GB RAM usage. (That is, if we restart Lemmy every 30 minutes. Else memory will go to 100%)

25 GB of RAM????? Looks like your instance is the edge case with Lemmy's scalability, when there's really big amount of active users. Looks like some problems won't fade with really high-grade hardware. But I have to appreciate, that's one gargantuan job!

I expect it is federation outbound activity growing in memory usage, it's all held in RAM for every post/comment/like going out to subscribed servers. !lemmyperformance@lemmy.ml is a community for the focus on scaling Lemmy.

I totally appreciate all of your efforts! Thank you for being a pioneer.

Appreciate the update, best of luck.

Its nice to have a place where the admins and developers aren't trying to scheme and manipulate the community to get a big payout. Thanks for all that you guys do. Curating this community is no doubt selfless hard work but we need a place like this free from the influence or potential take over by bad actors and malignant narcissists.

I can come whine in the discord if that'll help.

Amazing work team. I am already seeing improvements. Hope you are not killing yourselves though, I'm sure everyone realises how difficult it is and that it will take time to fix. We're here for the long haul! Thanks again

Do you need any spare server hardware? @ruud@lemmy.world I would be happy to donate some!

What sort of container orchestration and database tools are you using? Maybe you need some sys admin help?

If you need any Python QA test automation help I’m happy to invest. Thanks for the new home.

Thanks for the update!

Thank you for everything you do. With any luck, you'll get all the support you need, and have it running smooth as silk.

Thanks for putting in all the hard work. Especially on a holiday. We appreciate you guys!

Thanks! Love updates. I moved to lemm.ee for now, I'll come back to your world when you got room for my fat arse.

Are there any plans to make user up and down votes not viewable publicly? I know for a lot of new adopters this can be a deal breaker.

Thanks for your work, you are making the Internet a better place!
