[Update: Failed again] Update to 0.18.1-rc.1 tried and rolled back (self.lemmyworld)

We've upgraded lemmy.world to 0.18.1-rc.1 and rolled back that upgrade because of issues.

(If you had posted anything in those 10 minutes between upgrade and rollback, that post is gone. Sorry!)

The main issue we saw is that users can't login anymore. Existing sessions still worked, but new logins failed (from macos, ios and android. From linux and windows it worked)

Also new account creation didn't work.

I'll create an issue for the devs and retry once it's fixed.

Edit Contacted the devs, they tell me to try again with lemmy-ui at version 0.18.0. Will try again, brace for some downtime!

Edit 2 So we upgraded again, and it seemed to work nicely! But then it slowed down so much it was unuseable. There were many locks in the database. People reported many JSON errors. Sorry, we won't be on 0.18.1 any time soon I'm afraid..

Jerboa is almost unusable for me at the moment. A lot of crashes, pages not loading, messages not sending etc. But I know that's inevitable at times. Restarting my phone seemed to make it worse. But I know you guys are on it! 👍

I recommend you this web app

https://wefwef.app

It is almost as functional as Jerboa and very impressive for a web app.

Already has a lot of what I liked about Apollo just in a web app, very cool!

[–] kratoz29 4 points 1 year ago

It works unbelievable well.

[–] sv1sjp 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, awesome design!!!

[–] kratoz29 6 points 1 year ago

I'm impressed as well, I don't even like web apps, but God this looks amazing, and even better for me because I have an Android device and it has been ages since I used Apollo lol.

I just switched to it, Had tried jerboa, connect and liftoff and this one is by far my favorite

[–] kratoz29 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah it has plenty of good features already!

[–] Vupperware 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Currently rate-limited by Lemmy.world, per the dev. You might get a lot of red error boxes.

[–] kratoz29 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why?

[–] Vupperware 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Too much traffic going through the app, as he explained it. I would try to link the post, but everything is so janky on both Lemmy.world and our wonderful Apollo clone that I can’t be bothered.

[–] kratoz29 2 points 1 year ago

Too much traffic because it is an outstanding app, gotcha.

[–] Earnest 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Liftoff is a much better app. I used Jerboa as well but found an alternative cuz it was pretty much unusable. Just dowload Liftoff's latest apk and install

[–] Earnest 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Holy crap I just checked right now and Liftoff is on Playstore already!

[–] Sterben 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am using it too, quite nice, it still miss some quality life features, but I am they will get to it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How did you install it? I was using the app through the Google Playstore and for some reason the app was really unstable and buggy. I ended up installing the app from F-Droid and it is drastically better and much more stable.
