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.

Thank you for all of your hard work!

Is it wise to do a big deployment on the day when you may receive a massive influx of new users from Reddit? The API changes take affect on the 1st.

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

It's a bit of a lose lose situation tbh because if we don't upgrade then the first experience those new people are gonna have of Lemmy is an unusable All feed and a broken Jerboa.

My other account is on lemm.ee and the admin there contributes a lot of fixes to the software (plus has been working with Ruud to figure out our federation issues). He upgraded us a couple days ago and it's been amazingly stable given that it was only a day after the rc1 disaster.

Ultimately I trust that he and Ruud know what they're doing, but sometimes with an untestable situation like the size of .world you just have to pull the trigger and hope it works.

Liftoff is working great. Jerboa should be held off on for now because it can't handle different server versions. Different server versions WILL always be an issue in a federated environment.

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

It's funny because a Jerboa fork posted a few days ago in their community can handle different versions like a charm. The oficial app should make that a priority.

Godspeed. I really hope this is the one and the age of randomly redirecting to sports game threads will be over!

[โ€“] EricHill78@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Crossing my fingers for everything to work out well. Iโ€™m looking forward to being able to log into Jerboa.

What happened? Or is this not yet done? Sorry Iโ€™m kinda lost in the whole CET timings.

You have the support of Dragon of Dojima. We'll take out reddit ourselves. You have my word

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

Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.

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

Fingers crossed. Would love for the auto refreshing to finally stop.

I sadly couldn't use the web version of lemmy.world at all cause of the websocket issues. 0.18+ is gonna be an amazing upgrade fore this instance! All the devs and staff who made this happen have my undying respect.

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

See you on the other side

Nice work with everything so far, really liking it. What all is being changed/fixed in the new revision? Is it just more efficient code to support higher site traffic?

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

Super responsive, and I can login using Jerboa 37!

This hasn't gone well! Fingers crossed it sorts itself out without a rollback.

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

Working super slow. Like 45 seconds per page load.

I like the new layout better, just hope everything keeps working
