I like the new icon (to be honest, I can’t really see it, but from what I can see it looks nice). Who drew it?

[SOLVED] Questions from a lemm.ee refugee! (feddit.online)

submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by Æ[email protected] to c/[email protected]

Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find info on new user restrictions or time limits, so I thought I'd ask here.

I noticed my comments always show 1-upvote, even after some time passes. Is this a new-user restriction, or are votes being cast but not displayed? Personally, I don't care about points, but I use votes as feedback to gauge whether my contributions are relevant. I also noticed fewer replies to my comments than I'd expect, given my experience on the previous instance. Is this a visibility thing for new accounts, or just coincidence? I'm here to chat, so I'd love to hear from others!

Thanks for running this instance. I know it's not easy to run or mod. I hope this can help other newcomers, as well!

About creating a community with only spanish as a language (piefed.social)

I made this post on piefed.social and was told one of the things I'm looking for could be here, so would there be any problem if I create a community here where only content in spanish is allowed?

How do I post images in comments? (feddit.online)

submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

2 comments fedilink

When creating this post, I have a bunch of markdown options, but when I reply to someone, or comment on a post, I only have a text box available.

Should I be able to put images in there somehow? Or is that functionality not available in Piefed?

Let me know if there is a better spot for me to ask this! I tried searching, but couldn't find anything already addressing it

Lost about 8 hours of post updates due to some sort of software issue (feddit.online)

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

0 comments fedilink

Yesterday I deployed the latest Piefed software and overnight the server ran out of memory and fell about 8 hours behind. After restarting, memory began consuming at an alarming rate. I scaled the server up, but when I restarted, the server wasn't processing any incoming data but throwing 502 (Internal Server Errors).

I restored the server from a back-up I made on Saturday (Database is NOT affected and is still up-to-date). Now it's back to working. HOWEVER, all the incoming posts for about 8 hours are missing. I don't know if it's due to the restore, or they were just tossed when they came in due to the problem that was happening.

So, apologies for losing 8 hours of incoming posts. I've reached out to the developers for next steps.

Once everything works with the latest code, I'll scale the server back down to the size it was before.

Why would my work block feddit.online but not piefed.social? (feddit.online)

submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I know this can't be definitively answered with certainty (heck, maybe the IT dept just doesn't like feddit lol), I was moreso just curious to know if a bored wizard had any clarifying explanation on the matter.

If context/details are helpful (not doxxing myself obvs) I work for a fortune 100 corpo logistics company based in Pittsburg that is def not UPS or DHL lol

I'm so puzzled by what is and isn't blocked at my work. Youtube = fine ; chess.com = risk and blocked b/c game
piefed = fine ; feddit.online = risk and blocked because PUP potential ; reddit = fine

Is our IT terrible or is this the case for most corpos that cheap out on such things?

DB scaling up is complete (feddit.online)

submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

0 comments fedilink

2025-Mar-14: I scaled up the DB cluster from regular SSD drives to nVME drives, and moved from regular Intel CPUs to Premium AMD CPUs. nVME is significantly faster in all metrics than regular SSD drives. The improvement should be significant.

The load values are much lower than they were before, so, so far, so good.

Please let me know if you notice any issues.

Scaling up the DB cluster this evening 14-Mar-2025 (feddit.online)

submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm seeing signs that the DB Cluster is struggling at times and during peak activity it may become a bottleneck. The application server is cruising.

This evening, I'm going to scale up the DB cluster from regular SSD drives to nVME drives, and move from regular Intel CPUs to Premium AMD CPUs. nVME is significantly faster in all metrics than regular SSD drives. The improvement should be significant.

There shouldn't be any downtime unless something goes wrong.

Greentext Community Shows in Environment Topic (feddit.online)

submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

0 comments fedilink

Seems as if the greentext community was mistakenly placed into the Environment topic due to the term "green" being in the community name.

"Green text" refers to the colour of text in 4chan posts that's used when users are telling stories that supposedly happened to them, often being comedic in nature. It would most likely instead fall under the Humour and Comics topic.

Wasabi outage could be impacting images (feddit.online)

submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

0 comments fedilink

It seems that at about 16:14 UTC, Wasabi, which we use for storing images, began having problems in both their us-east-1 and us-east-2 regions. We use us-east-1. The problems have been happening for a number of hours. While us-east-2 is back up, according to their status, https://status.wasabi.sys/, us-east-1 remains problematic due to a power outage.

The last update at 19:59 UTC: Update - Power has been fully restored to the us-east-2 region. We are continuing the process of restoration to the us-east-1 region and will update this page as we have more information.

I've added another 100 remote communities to https://feddit.online/. As of this time, I've only, so far, assigned half of them to topics.
