[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.

Thanks Ruud. In June I donated to the Lemmy Devs and in July I’ll donate to Lemmy.world I appreciate all of your work.

I am probably one of many refugees coming from Reddit. Here is hoping lemmy grows and grows well.

Did I just check lemmy right after the reboot? Good timing huh

Seems to have worked! Typed from Jeboa :)

No problem if you have to wait, it is the best instance. Do what you have to do.

No problema si toca esperar, es la mejor instancia. Haz lo que tengas que hacer.

I'm here to stay 🤟

Good luck!!!

[–] blennster 5 points 1 year ago

Great! Let's hope it goes well since many users will default to jerboa when migrating.

Good luck, we’re all counting on you

What is new with the updated version later today?

[–] JeffCraig 6 points 1 year ago (7 children)

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.
