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..

Thanks for all the hard work!

Is this upgrade because removing websockets broke captchas for the sign up process?

Could they just put a page in front of the signup on the webserver with the captcha that needs to be passed first?

Kind of a related question. If we find bugs or anything, where can we report them? I have tried looking for a contact us page but couldn't find it anywhere.

It seems that my Hot feed has been stuck for the last day or two.

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

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?
