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..

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!

Looks like we're still having issues, more's the pity.

Do we know what's causing the issue, or is it still a bit of a mystery for the time being?

I'm so new, I'm a baby, I have no idea what I'm doing. I did just create my account, I tried using the app but it wouldn't let me. Saying server version too low. I'm sorry for my ignorance, but is this what that means? And this means we can't use the app yet right?

Also, thank you for all of this. I will be here for it all, I'm staying forever! I already love this so much more than anything else ๐Ÿฅฐ

That's alright. Thanks for all your hard work!

[โ€“] Asudox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I am glad y'all rolled back. I had just enabled 2FA and could not login to my account. Rolling back removed 2FA so I was able to log back in. Thanks.

Could you upgrade to 0.18.0? The android app doesn't work with 0.17, but it seems to work with 0.18.0

Working fine from Lift-off!

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.

Dude I posted the funniest comment in those 10 minutes but you all must have missed it. Oh well ๐Ÿ˜…

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

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

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

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

Hello Lemmy World

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

What changes does the new release candidate offer?

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

0.18 is where they have swapped WebSocket for HTTP, as well as tried to fix a load of bugs related to using WebSockets (like the new posts pushing the main feeds down).

0.18.1 is meant to re-enable CAPTCHA on signups, which was removed in 0.18.

Anyone else's home feed only loading Local > Active ?

I can't get it to load any other new/hot or subscribed/all posts unless I go to a community page and browse one community at a time.

Linux/Firefox After upgrade many things didn't work, but they continued not to work after rollback.

Turns out I needed to clear the cache, then everything worked fine again.

[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 4 points 2 years ago

That was indeed what happened.
