Really liking the transparency with the community over how the server is doing.

Great work.

Any idea who might be launching the ddos attacks?

Sorry for those

It's not your fault :) We know you admins are working really hard to keep the server as stable as possible.

Thanks to you and all the dev team behind this ❤🙇🏻‍♂️

Thank yuuu

the best server! thank you

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?

How do you turn on endless scrolling? I'm still seeing page numbers

Awesome! It’s great to see thing become snappier and better since I joined Lemmy.

Reddit would almost never update unless it was a pants on fire situation or they would force feed features that no one wanted or even was tested properly.

A big thank you to everyone involved, FROM those taking the time to submit bug descriptions in a reproducible manner and those making feature requests or those simply upvoting and pointing out the most needed patch/updates TO simultaneously amateur, newly minted coders and veteran developpers pushing small and big patches to fix anything from typos, reformatting old code, cleaning almost unnoticeable UI object, transition less performing backend modules or secure/harden of all these moving parts.

I am glad to witness and be a part of the perpetual progress of the fediverse.

Thanks as usual for the transparency, y’all.

Looks like the upgrade is done and was a quick and easy success, thank you Devs!

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

Version 0.18.3 of what?

Will it change the behaviour of sorting by hot? seeing post from years ago is funny
