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..

Sucks that lemmy.world won't be working with Jerboa when the reddit apps quit working in a couple days.

[–] SuperIce 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jerboa still works fine with lemmy.world. It pops up a warning that the server version is unsupported, but it still seems to work fine.

After I get the warning I can tap the hamburger menu and it shows my account name up top but when I try to upvote a post it states I need to log in.

Better than being flooded with bots.

It's available from play store now? Awesome! Will definitely try out.

[–] Alfuh 2 points 1 year ago

Liftoff, Thunder, and Connect for Lemmy are all alternatives

Soon Sync for Lemmy as well!

[–] Spacebar 1 points 1 year ago

Liftoff is amazing.

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

It will work, I'm using it. Just ignore the warning message

[–] dingus 1 points 1 year ago

"Work" is subjective. I can ignore the warning message, but the app has become incredibly unstable to me to the point where it crashes every minute or so. It's almost completely unusable.

On the plus side, I'm about to open the beta that handles both just fine (plus a lot of features no one else is doing yet). The deadline I for myself is Saturday when the Reddit clients go down.

Unfortunately it was built by someone who lurks and comments, and I realized even though merging feeds from accounts on different servers is going to be awesome, other people like to post and I need to stop getting off track

The stress of the timeline is starting to get to me and I'm terrified no one is going to give it a chance, but I've fixed most of the things that drove me nuts in jerboa... That should count for something, right?

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

Hol up, are you soft announcing the development of a new Jerboa-based app? What's it called? Good luck to you! I hope you achieve your goals with the project and that is well received. ☺️

[–] Flemmy 2 points 1 year ago

Hey, so it's not jerboa based and I ended up pushing it back a few weeks, but I'm now looking for beta testers on Android if you're interested

As for the name, I think I'm going with Luna for several reasons, a big one being that someone suggested it and Flemmy was the only name I could think of beforehand

I'm posting updates to [email protected] for now, if you're interested I'll be posting instructions for the beta soon.

Whether you're interested or not I'd love to get feedback. I'm good with data and UX flow, but I mostly just comment - I need to learn how other people want to use Lemmy

Liftoff is a much better app. It's working great

[–] FlavorGrain 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, seems much better!
