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.

Looking awesome! faster, more responsive, new sorting types, tighter layout, no auto-load of random posts ๐Ÿฅณ ๐Ÿฅณ

Just need to sort out the wefwef issue, and we're back in business...

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

Pages loading slowly here and sometimes not loading content. Could be due to the number of new users.

Latest version of Jerboa on Google Play doesn't work with servers below 0.18;

For those who want to use Jerboa to access lemmy.world before the upgrade to 0.18.x happens, you can install a specific release from GitHub instead of Google Play. I found version 0.0.34-alpha to work (using it rn to post this). https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases/tag/0.0.34

Edit: since the update is done, it's probably best to go back to latest version. Glad I helped someone!

What is new with the updated version later today?

A bit concerning perhaps hold this off for a week or so seems like this is very important moment for the users from r**dit to decide if they want to be here or not.

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

That's why it has to be done today. At the moment, Jerboa instantly crashes when trying to access Lemmy, which will definitely scare away new users. My understanding is that this is because Lemmy.World is on version 17, but Jerboa requires instances to be on version 18 or higher. If successful, I believe this would fix the instant crash issue, so we'll at least have an Android app working again.

Hopefully, these are just growing pains symptomatic of a site trying to deal with rapid growth and rapid improvements.

It's this why I can't login to the jerboa app?

I am probably one of many refugees coming from Reddit. Here is hoping lemmy grows and grows well.
