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.

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!

So how does this work..is there a beta server to try it on? Or it worked in resting and it only broke with the full amount of users?

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?

Thank you for all your efforts.

[โ€“] linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

Sucks that you couldnt get it working yet, but there are bound to be problems at this scale.

Anyone have any resources for learning what running a lemmy server is like ? Seems pretty interesting
