In anticipation of Lemmy's upcoming 0.19 release, and to work out any final issues, we're going to deploy a test release on lemmy.ml within the next few days.

We're doing this testing on lemmy.ml only, so that we can encounter any issues before the release, and to make sure the upgrade process is smooth for other production servers.

Some of the following will happen during the process:

  • Apps will likely break (only for lemmy.ml)
  • Lemmy.ml may experience some downtime for the upgrade to complete (ideally no more than an hour).
  • If anything goes wrong, we may have to restore from a database backup, meaning content made in between backups may be lost.

If all goes well, we'll have an official announcement for the release after this testing period.

I apologize for the difficulties this might cause. At most this will be a week of hair-pulling, but its vital that we catch any issues before telling other servers to upgrade.

When I look at my subscribed list, I see lots of posts for communities I am not subscribed to.

Open up an issue on lemmy-ui's github if you would.

Is it normal that on an upgrade, users are forced to re-login?

I was about the blame one of the android apps developers for breaking comments.

edit: This one was written from a browser. Apps don't like this new version.

I've saw a weird phenomenon where someone else user was written in place of mine for a second when I opened the web page. I was not connected, one a PC using Firefox.
Could it be related ? Is this the right place to signal it ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This has happened to me a couple times before this.

Connect on Android doesn't work.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Connect dev here, I'm monitoring and releasing a fix (v152)

Thought I'd mention a problem (re: Apps will likely break (only for lemmy.ml)) I am developing an app and this one request stopped working:

https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/community/list?type_=Subscribed&auth=[MY_AUTH]&username=[MY_USERNAME]&limit=50

Any other type_ works. This one used to return only a users Subscribed communities but it just returns an empty array {"communities":[]}. When you load it up in a browser it works. I'm driving myself crazy

When I open lemmy, it automatically seems to go to the global screen, but still displays the "subscribed" tab as being selected.

I'm subscribed to neither the piracy, nor the world news nor the gay news communities.

Boost for Lemmy (v1.0.3 Nov 16, 2023) seems to be having issues with this 0.19 release.

While using Boost, I stayed signed in, but my feed while set to Subscribed was showing posts not under my subscriptions. I blocked most memes communities for example yet they all showed back up, filtering by Subscribed or All they appear like identical feeds. After I signed out, to see if it made a difference, I am unable to sign back in. I'm posting this from Firefox/the web browser instead of the Boost app.

One problem is that a few communities, while they do show up in my subscriptions list, do not indicate that I am subscribed to them when I am on the community page (for example, [email protected] is one of those communities where I noticed that issue, it mostly fluctuates between me being subscribed to the community or not). If it needs to be marked as an issue on GitHub, you can let me know.
