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..

Sucks that lemmy.world won't be working with Jerboa when the reddit apps quit working in a couple days.

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!

My current session works now with 0.18.0 + 0.18.1.rc1

PSA: If you've been using lemmy.world during the upgrades and rollbacks your browser might've cashed some stuff that quickly got out of date. If you have problems (especially JSON errors), try doing a hard refresh (usually Ctrl + F5) on the site. It might log you out.

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.

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

[โ€“] erik1984@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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 3 points 1 year ago

That was indeed what happened.

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

[โ€“] ndr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Seems to be working fine!

[โ€“] kylian0087@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

thanks for your hard work ruud!

~~RC2~~ RC4 was just released, here's hoping it solves the issues you were experiencing with performance of RC1!

I had a weird issue after it upgraded. My browser (Firefox on Android) showed the Lemmy UI but showed no posts. I checked my profile to see if I was logged in, and it showed I was logged in as someone else! I cleared my cache and refreshed, it showed I wasn't logged in. After I logged in it was fine, and showed my expected posts and my actual profile. In Liftoff app my account worked fine the whole time, didn't need to log in again.

[โ€“] xtract@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Working fine from Lift-off!

Thank you for the hard work Ruud!

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

[โ€“] UnsafePantomime@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (6 children)

0.18.0 removes Captcha support. Upgrading would make a lot easier for bots to join.

Hello Lemmy World

[โ€“] dezmd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thats for all the work you're doing on this.

Just FYI, here is a different recurring issue that keeps coming back, I've strictly been using lemmy.world website, keep receiving MLB Game stats for the same day when opening random links, just happened when I opened this thread to view comments. So far if I just reload the page it will then show the correct content. But it keeps happening.
