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..

PSA: If you've been using lemmy.world during the upgrades and rollbacks your browser might've cashed some stuff that quickly got out of date. If you have problems (especially JSON errors), try doing a hard refresh (usually Ctrl + F5) on the site. It might log you out.

Thanks for the info. You're doing a great job!

[โ€“] Anarch157a@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Seems 0.18 is up... and...

OH NO ! The interface changed ! Bring it back ! Bring it back... /s

Just kidding... It's looking good, so it's time to explore a little and find all the new stuff.

Nice work @Rudd, thanks for all the hard work.

Thank you for the hard work Ruud!

Great! I'm getting a bug, when I upvote a comment or post, the "loading animation" takes forever to complete. If I refresh the upvote is there. It reminds me to the bug we had with comments and new posts.

Edit: Is the same for comments.

pretty brutal bug ngl. was hoping I'd be using jerboa again soon

[โ€“] i_simp_4_tedcruz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Is the bug with Jerboa that no subscribed communities are showing up? From my point of view logged in now I only have access to lemmy.world communities

[โ€“] flubba86@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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. After I logged in it was 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.

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

[โ€“] xtract@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Working fine from Lift-off!

[โ€“] ren@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good luck! May the software gods bless you with a functioning website with minimal bugs!

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?

[โ€“] Shadywack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Running one of the largest and most vibrant Lemmy instances certainly makes this deployment a great test case for the devs and the system overall. @ruud@lemmy.world this community really appreciates you!

[โ€“] erik1984@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for the update! (I mean the communication regarding the update) 0.18 moved away web sockets right? Maybe that leads to different DB access patterns causing locks on such a big instance as lemmy.world.

[โ€“] antik@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That was indeed what happened.

[โ€“] FlavorGrain@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (7 children)

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

[โ€“] SuperIce@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.
