Loading is mostly OK, but sometimes things take forever
We (and you) see many 502 errors, resulting in empty pages etc.
System load: The server is roughly at 60% cpu usage and around 25GB RAM usage. (That is, if we restart Lemmy every 30 minutes. Else memory will go to 100%)

Bugs

Replying to a DM doesn't seem to work. When hitting reply, you get a box with the original message which you can edit and save (which does nothing)
2FA seems to be a problem for many people. It doesn't always work as expected.

Troubleshooting

We have many people helping us, with (site) moderation, sysadmin, troubleshooting, advise etc. There currently are 25 people in our Discord, including admins of other servers. In the Sysadmin channel we are with 8 people. We do troubleshooting sessions with these, and sometimes others. One of the Lemmy devs, @nutomic@lemmy.ml is also helping with current issues.

So, all is not yet running smoothly as we hoped, but with all this help we'll surely get there! Also thank you all for the donations, this helps giving the possibility to use the hardware and tools needed to keep Lemmy.world running!

That's not a memory leak though. That's just hording memory. Leaked memory is inaccessible.

In the example it’s inaccessible.

[–] meisme@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not. The vec is still accessible and if it goes out of scope rust automatically clears the memory.

But it will never fall out of scope because of the loop

[–] meisme@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly but it's still accessible since it's in scope.

Right but where does it say that something has to be inaccessible to qualify as a memory leak?

[–] meisme@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"A memory leak is a process in which a program or application persistently retains a computer’s primary memory. It occurs when the resident memory program does not return or release allocated memory space, even after execution, resulting in slower or unresponsive system behavior." Source

That’s not a serious source. Any unbound allocation is a memory leak if it serves no useful purpose.

[–] preciouspupp@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly.
