We’ve updated Lemmy.world to Lemmy 0.18.1.
For the release notes, see https://lemmy.world/post/1139237
Awesome, now block threads.net from this instance. Lemmy.ml already did it.
I’m just gonna leave Lemmy.world while I’m ahead. The quietness says all we need to know.
“This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these.”
Hehe, lemmy.world doing some stress testing for the entire lemmy project.
Ooh I need to check the size of the custom emoji 😄
Hi! I noticed an issue with the headers sent by Lemmy.world.
Headers sent from and to this website’s official UI look like this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) date: Fri, 07 Jul 2023 23:35:17 GMT content-type: application/json vary: accept-encoding, Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers content-encoding: gzip access-control-allow-origin: * access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, PUT, OPTIONS access-control-allow-headers: DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range access-control-expose-headers: content-encoding, content-type, vary, Content-Length,Content-Range X-Firefox-Spdy: h2Which is fine. However, headers received by custom clients look like this:
HTTP/2 200 OK server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) date: Fri, 07 Jul 2023 23:33:50 GMT content-type: application/json vary: accept-encoding, Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers content-encoding: gzip access-control-allow-origin: https://natoboram.github.io access-control-expose-headers: content-encoding, access-control-allow-origin, content-type, vary access-control-allow-origin: * access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, PUT, OPTIONS access-control-allow-headers: DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range access-control-expose-headers: Content-Length,Content-Range X-Firefox-Spdy: h2There’s two
access-control-allow-origin! This still breaks web clients.At first I thought it was a Lemmy problem, but lemmy.ml doesn’t have this problem. @[email protected] It’s a lemmy.world problem indeed.
I’ll check that. It’s to do with the CORS settings that changed in recent Lemmy update
The Rodent is bitchin’ fast now. Thank you, operators!
Lemmy World! Party Time! Excellent!
Whoops replied to the wrong place
Can you please give us a straight answer regarding blocking threads.net? If you don’t intend to do so, there are those of us who want to know so that we can leave.
I’m not familiar with this blocking threads controversy. Can you EIL5?
Threads big and scary. Smol bois in the Fediverse have been discussing preemptively defederating from Threads due to how big and scary it is in an attempt to protect themselves and the Fediverse as a whole.
Threads is the new Facebook-owned twitter come. It uses the activity pub protocol and is therefore part of the fediverse.
People are concerned that Facebook with embrace the fediverse, enhance it with me features (as they will be the largest developers on the platform) and then either deliberately or because no-one can keep up with their development extinguish it.
It’s working great, but we would appreciate an update in regards to letting meta in our instance or not
I find it hilarious how the most random shit always changes with updates. Like I just noticed how the badges for mod and OP changed on posts, and so I knew there’s an update. Who keeps constantly fidgeting with these things?
Ed: to be clear, I’m not dissing anyone. Keep it up folks
Yeah I wonder what the reasoning behind that was. Personally I preferred the old way, where it was completedly filled in. Made it easier to notice the tag by color. It also aligned more with the rest of the Lemmy UI and it’s filled-in green buttons.
Haha, this is how fast-moving open source projects work, things change constantly as they believe it’s better to just get (perceived) improvements out of the door when they’re cooked up, instead of waiting in any capacity.
It seems that they need a UI expert.
Thanks for the update! But I noticed an issue: it seems you haven’t commented on defederating from Threads? Please let us know if you are so we can respond accordingly.

Yup, hence why I’m on lemm.ee. Originally made an instance to cover when .world was being slow but I think this will be my main now. They haven’t finalized the vote but it seems to be going the defed route.
Still hugely supportive of the .world admins though. They’ve done a ton of work to keep .world running and a ton of digging that will help lemmy overall. I just don’t agree with federating with big social media.

@owatnext @ruud I think he already has: https://mastodon.world/@mwadmin/110654590632768079
Thanks for sharing. Odd that Rudd hasn’t posted here, not all of us are on Mastodon.
Definitely notice the improved speed and fewer errors lately. Thanks so much for hosting a great instance, and for keeping up with its needs.
My favourite thing except the emoji is the new theme
Hahah hadn’t seen that one, looks nice! Reminds me of the good old days…
Haha exactly! I just need to find my dot matrix printer paper with the holes and I’m all set to relive my youth
Ohh in my youth we had a MSX…
Awesome! We had BBC Micro in schools here, I think at home we had a Commodore or it might have been an Amiga! it is a bit hard to remember so far back :) I remember writing a letter to my dad on it, quoting Monty Python and calling him a bastard lol, not knowing exactly what I was saying at the time. Ah, fond memories!
That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. What the fuck.
Glad to see the admins keeping the instance up to date
Nice to see speedups. I always thought it was ironic that kbin was faster than Lemmy when kbin is php and lemmy is rust. Makes sense it was database stuff. You can’t solve that with language choice.
Where can I learn about transferring my community to another instance? Lemmy.worlds silence about threads means he has no intent to defederate so I need to move over to lemmy.ml.
Or is this not possible? Do I just need to walk away from my community because @ruud doesn’t care about the issue?
If that’s the case, how do I add a mod that doesn’t care about meta expressly stating they are going to add features to ActivityPub protocol (step two of EEE)? I don’t want to keep coming back here if it is federated with threads but I don’t need to leave whoever is staying here high and dry.
If you move, don’t move to Lemmy.ml, move to smaller instances
It really seems like having my own personal instance is the way to go. The only users I’d need to have are mods of any community I create on it. Then I can defederate with tech co instances. damn. I was really starting to like “local” here, but the fact that @[email protected] is totally silent about threads is just absolute BS.
Maybe I’m misinterpreting your post but what’s the point of having an instance if your only users are the mods you appoint? You’d just be creating your own personal echo chamber. The whole point of a site like this, at least as I see it, is to bring in a wide variety of users with different opinions. That’s a big reason why Reddit was so successful in the early days. I know that everyone is anti-Threads and Meta, but clearly @ruud@[email protected] knows something we don’t. I think being federated with Threads could be a good chance to grow this community and bring more attention to the Fediverse as a whole. If you see something from a Threads instance that you really don’t like, you can always block and/or mute the account. On Mastodon, you can block entire instances from showing up in your feed. I’m not sure if that is a thing with Lemmy or not, but if not, it might not be a bad thing to implement later on. Sorry for the wall of text.
Make your own instances. No more issues.
Is there a quality guide for how to do this? Preferably hosted rather than my home server.
Use the ansible Lemmy install, it’s very simple and will also create https certs and everything. But you need a domain first, pointed at your hosted server ip address.
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible
So basically:
- Buy domain
- Rent a server somewhere (hetzner is great and cheap).
- Point domain at server ip.
- Use the ansible install against your server to install everything.
That’s pretty much it. The ansible install takes care of everything.
Then you need to subscribe to some other instance community from your instance so other instances know you exist, for federation to work.
Awesome, thanks.
How much power does it take to run an instance? Not planning on hosting my own, just curious. I read stories about people being able to host a Mastodon instance on a Raspberry Pi.
Yeah it doesn’t take much for a small instance. My instance uses 1 GB of memory and like 2% cpu on each core (got 3 cores). But I only have a handful of active users.
There are multiple.
Perhaps point me one that you, in your judgment, think is particularly good?
Im just a noob thats interested. I havent tried it yet. But ive found a couple guides.
Check out the self hosting communities. Ill see if i can find the one im thinking of but Lemmy also has an official guide in the documentation.
Mobile browser is ultra fast and stable, and Jerboa is running like a charm! Appreciate all you and your team’s hard work.
