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..

Thats for all the work you're doing on this.

Just FYI, here is a different recurring issue that keeps coming back, I've strictly been using lemmy.world website, keep receiving MLB Game stats for the same day when opening random links, just happened when I opened this thread to view comments. So far if I just reload the page it will then show the correct content. But it keeps happening.

Strange, probably one of those weird Websockets issues that should be solved in 0.18....

the work you've done in the last month is incredible. I hope you can get some rest in between bursts of carrying the instance on your shoulders

[โ€“] Nisciunu 15 points 2 years ago

Thank you for the update

[โ€“] snargledorf 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

@[email protected] just wondering if you have considered setting up a second, beta, instance of lemmy.world open to the public?

With all the performance issues with 0.18.1, it's highlighted that there needs to be a way to stress test these updates before applying them to the main instance.

[โ€“] ruud 13 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Yes, considering that. But we'll need people to use that when we will do testing...

[โ€“] snargledorf 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, you have at least one person who would be willing to use it ;D

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! ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] kratoz29 9 points 2 years ago (10 children)

I recommend you this web app

https://wefwef.app

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

I'll admit this is probably something I can Google, but is there any scale-out options for a given Lemmy instance, or is it designed to be hosted in a single server?

Bummer. Other instances apparently managed to upgrade, but none has the scale of lemmy.world, so that was bound to stretch things to their breaking point. Hopefully the devs are on top of whatever's causing it!

[โ€“] Classy 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In the meantime I've migrated over to Connect for Lemmy on Android, and it is working significantly better than Jerboa did.

thanks for your hard work ruud!

[โ€“] T156 10 points 2 years ago

Looks like we're still having issues, more's the pity.

Do we know what's causing the issue, or is it still a bit of a mystery for the time being?

[โ€“] flubba86 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I had a weird issue after it upgraded. My browser (Firefox on Android) showed the Lemmy UI but showed no posts. I checked my profile to see if I was logged in, and it showed I was logged in as someone else! I cleared my cache and refreshed, it showed I wasn't logged in. Logging in worked fine, and showed my expected posts and my actual profile. In Liftoff app my account worked fine the whole time, didn't need to log in again.

Appreciate the communication & the effort.

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

[โ€“] SuperIce 9 points 2 years 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 the update I can no longer log in or interact with Jerboa. Hopefully y'all resolve this soon, as I am really digging Jerboa, but thanks for letting us know what's going on, and keeping up the good work.
