This gets it’s own section. Look, the largest issue with Lemmy performance is currently the database. We’ve spent a lot of time attempting to track down why and what it is, and then fixing what we reliably can. However, none of us are rust developers or database admins. We know where Lemmy spends its time in the DB but not why and really don’t know how to fix it in the code. If you’ve complained about why is Lemmy/Beehaw so slow this is it; this is the reason.

There is a dedicated Lemmy community, !lemmyperformance@lemmy.ml

I almost never see someone link to a Discord past conversation on fixing an issue/problem solving. It's a one-way black hole.

Since the 1990's I've known people who ride around in old VW's because they were cool. They are not overbuilt and rust is a real problem, but I don't see people worry when 4 people are in the car. I see 6 people in the back of a pickup truck on a regular basis. People will do very risky things on wheeled transportation with high death rates. But when it comes to airplanes, they are hyper concerned about safety. I think people worry too much about the way they are gong to die or the details of a person's last week alive. Makes them ignore the risks in front of them, like car wrecks.

I don't think it's the identical issue either, but a developer working on the code would probably try to fix them together.

This is a technology topic. People discuss when Facebook and Reddit and Twitter have major outages.

Sidebar says: Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it’s technological news, it probably belongs here.

Should I post it in /c/news of Beehaw like this Reddit outage news: https://beehaw.org/post/517228 ?

Do you think I'm opening a bug about Beehaw or something?

Although it was opened against 0.17.4, I encourage you to mention what you are seeing on this Github issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3222

If you aren't aware, Lemmy.ml has been down for the past 45 minutes, and could likely be causing your lemmy_server code to back up with all kinds of problems.

I'm actually working on these issues 10+ hours a day, for the past two weeks.

I have created new communities: /c/lemmyperformance and /c/lemmyfederation to try and not clutter up Github with all this, but so far the problem of two servers reliably talking to each other (which also are running into the nginx 500/504/404 errors) seems to be a problem nobody has taken ownership of.

Because not every issue we’re experiencing even the 500’s , are a result of Lemmy or their code.

Then what are they, when Nginx is failing to talk to the NodeJS app? I also consider this more than code, as they are also giving recommendations for performance tuning various components, etc.

I have a lot of suspicion so far that federation activity is causing 500 and other errors due to how it queues (swarms) other peers. It isn't just the lemmy-ui webapp, smartphone users, and other end-users.

Your saying that’s not enough and I need to do more.

I see you run a Neruodiverse community here, maybe you are misinterpreting my Asperger syndrome. I posted here 8 days ago, and I'm revisiting it.

They have hundreds of open issues already.

I posed here 8 days ago, I linked back to lemmy.ml having the same problem, I am the one doing the labor here of screaming out loud how serious this problem is and it isn't like the other issues being posted on GitHub which are mostly end-user wishlists for new features.

Do you consider 0.17.4 a "stable" release of Lemmy that is proven and production ready, or more like an experimental project under active development?

I do not grasp why no Github issues are being opened to discuss openly these problems with the Lemmy platform that I have seen on many instances.
