Known issues
- Post / Reply takes up to 20 seconds. This mainly happens in larger communities. We’re troubleshooting this. Anyone wanting to help troubleshoot, please DM @ruud@lemmy.world . Big plus if you can read the Lemmy source code so we know what it actually does.

Enhancement requests
- Can themes be added? > To be checked if this can be done without changing code.

Probably an idea for the future, but a status page with upcoming maintenance or ongoing issues would help quell some of these kinds of requests. I assume you probably don’t have much in the way of redundancy at the moment?
Well we’re in the baby phase now, so most maintenance is ad-hoc. But after that it’s a good idea. About redundancy: it’s a single VPS. But when the VPS or datacenter breaks, we have a backup, and it runs in Docker so it’s just restoring the backup, starting the containers and redirect the DNS
