[Done] New try at upgrading to 0.18.1 July 1st 20:00 CET (self.lemmyworld)

We'll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I've had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.

Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.

Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.

We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh.. it's July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let's hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.

Totally agree. Alas, I'll need to find time to help with time/knowledge. (that's my best chance, cash is an issue)

Time and knowledge are probably more important. A lot of well meaning people are copying over a bunch of Reddit content into communities here, but I think that's only useful in a small subset of them. If you're looking to scan through a bunch of memes, okay that's great. But a lot of people are looking for discussions and content to interact with, and a giant number of posts with no comments isn't helping that.

So starting or contributing to real discussions (like this one!) is a big contribution.

There is some content on thousands of niche subreddits that are there for knowledge reasons.

Not all subs are default meme subs there are tons of small niche communities that shared and collected valuable knowledge.

For me that's the biggest loss.
