How can we help fix replies on lobste.rs?
<p>Currently, going to lobste.rs/replies will give you this message:</p> <pre><code>2020-12-03: We recently migrated the database and this feature hammers this db config, so it's unavailable until we can sort that out. Sorry for the hassle. - Peter </code></pre> <p>Having looked at the code, the query in question is definitely a hefty one.</p> <p>I've looked at ways of optimizing it and all that, as have I'm sure people smarter than I. I'm sure it's doable, but it's a matter of how much time it would take and how much of the rest of the codebase would need to change.</p> <p>No rush, as I realize we all enjoy this community for free, but is there an update on the plan to get it fixed? I (and I'm sure others) would be happy to help out in whatever way we could.</p> <p>PS> And, again, thank you to everyone involved in keeping lobste.rs running. It is without a doubt the best tech link aggregator and discussion site out there.</p>
