haha, we appreciate the patience. We're not a massive company with teams of people, just a couple of FOSS programmers.
This is why this instance is so well. Thank you for all the hard work in reliberating the web!

This is good to hear! Have you considered releasing more often with smaller sets of changes, for future releases? It seems like this will be quite the upgrade.
Yep, we'd def prefer to do smaller releases, and we'll try to make them more frequent and smaller in the future. The main reason this one was so delayed, is because of the large number of breaking changes, esp. w/ respect to authentication.
Thank you so much for your work on this instance.
How best to donate to help support?
Thanks! Here's our donation page: https://join-lemmy.org/donate . Liberapay is preferred if possible.
Great idea. Hope all is fairly smooth!
Can somebody explain what this scaling sort thing is to me? I've heard it a lot, but I don't know exactly what it does.
It's like hot sort, but gives a boost to inactive communities.

The update has broken a bunch of things for me..
On my desktop using firefox, I cannot get images to display & everything is slow to load. On my android phone, boost was showing me a ton of stuff that I do not follow & wasn't showing me any info about my profile (profile tab would not load or something). Boost eventually logged me out & I have been unable to log back in....
Images were temporarily broken due to authentication problems, but thats fixed now. If you encounter problems in apps, please them to the developers so they can fix them.

I was just wondering: Instead of testing these potentially disruptive changes on the main website, why wouldn't you make some testing instances where people can try everything out, like voyager, enterprise, and ds9 were back in the day?

Good luck!! If we donβt hear any exploding noises than I guess that means it is going ok?
I got randomly signed out this morning, maybe this has something to do with that.
I lumme some lemmy with that lemony fresh scent
