[Update: Failed again] Update to 0.18.1-rc.1 tried and rolled back (lemmy.world)

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..

Jerboa works fine with lemmy world, it just gives a warning and crashes on occasion. Not an issue to use it though.

[–] Disk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, if you are already logged in. If you are not logged in, or get logged out you will not be able to log back in until the server version is above 0.18

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That sounds like Bethesda's definition of "works fine"

[–] inverimus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a new user I tried logging in on Jerboa and it says the server must be on 0.18 and refuses the login.

Have you tried this fork? https://lemmy.ca/post/899342

Thanks for the link. I knew could side load an older version, I just wanted to be lazy and use something on the play store. I'm trying out several clients right anyway.

For me at least, I'm unable to change the community scope or sorting method. The only thing I can use Jerboa for is "local" and sorted by "active". It isn't totally unusable, but I would much rather be able to switch to subscribed and hot.

[–] rolaulten@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had the same bug. A full restart of my phone seems to have fixed it.

[–] flawedFraction@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately that didn't work for me. Thanks for the idea, though. I'm sure it will work for some. I suspect that if I wiped the app and set everything back up it might work, but that's more than I'm willing to do at the moment and I can live with the inconvenience for now.

[–] falconfetus8@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That is absolutely not "fine".

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With the last couple updates jerboa has got to a point that I probably won't even move to sync when it comes. I'm pretty happy with it. But if Lemmy Is Fun ever happens, I'm out.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm of a similar mind: I'm happy with Jerboa, yet also looking forward to Slide.

[–] vanontom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"crashes on occasion"

Unfortunately, the occasion seems to be at least once every five minutes for me. thisisfine.jpg This is not fine and definitely a major issue. Especially as we get closer to July 1. After this news from lemmy.world, I will have to switch, probably to Connect, until Sync arrives.

[–] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well you're a lucky one. Jerboa has been unusable for me and other folks post v0.34 since the first rc release of 0.18. I finally managed to downgrade to 0.34 and login after lots of black magic. It used to crash instantly, even on 0.34.

That being said, good luck to lemmy.world admins and thanks a lot for the open comms !

The latest update of jerboa did not let me browse all communities. I had to sideload a previous version.
