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.

What is new with the updated version later today?

The difference between .17 and .18 is pretty substantial. Lemmy.world neglected to update to .18 because captcha support was not working for new account signups, so they waited for v0.18.1

There should be substantial performance improvements because it moves Lemmy from using websocket to HTTP API.

There are lots of other fixes and things, but that is the most substantial change.

They didn't 'neglect' to upgrade. They tried several times, but had issues with each.
