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..

Posted after Edit 2.

I would like to manage my expectations. Yesterday we were looking at 0.18.1 being sent out in about week from the devs. Was 0.18.1-rc.1 what we thought they'd have ready? Do we still think the 7-10 day window is likely?

If at first you don't succeed, try every other RC until proper :)

We have a good thing going, don't rush it, we'll wait :) and thank you for your service.

Your time and efforts in keeping this instance going are most appreciated! Thanks again!

Bummer. What keeps me from using Lemmy more atm is that itβ€˜s unresponsive and gets stuck a lot on my end (iOS). I was hoping the update would improve on this. I hope future upgrades work better. Thanks for your work!

Jerboa crashes constantly for me now, doesn't even let me view anything. JSYK!

Is there any place that people can assist in trying to figure out issues?

0.18.1-rc.1 seems to be working ok on my tiny instance. I had upgraded from 0.18.0.

[–] nucleative 6 points 2 years ago

All the support you need @ruud

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not that we'd get them during maintenance but this is a good reason to have some kind of DM system.

Dang, I updated Jerboa too hastily, time to figure out how to downgrade back to 0.34

Need to downgrade the UI I think? The frontpage is empty because the UI version is 0.18 while the backend is at 0.17.4.

Thanks again to all admins!
