[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..

Just curious, why are we updating now instead of waiting for the proper 0.18.1 release?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (34 children)

Reasons I can think of:

  1. The official Android client for lemmy, Jerboa, only supports 0.18 and later, unless users download older version from github and sideload manually.

  2. Sorting is broken pre 0.18, new posts keeps flowing in.

  3. Performance improvement by removing web socket from lemmy. (which fixes 2, which is why 1. happens)

Try wefwef.app on mobile

(no I'm not a bot account shilling I just really like the app)

You made me try it, and I've just switched from Jerboa! It has more of an "Infinity" feel to it. Also tried Liftoff today, wasn't my cup of tea either.

If there was a way to adjust the font sizes it would be 100% perfect. Damn! I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it before. Thanks internet stranger!

Nice and thanks!

Question: Where’s the edit button? I can’t find it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's an open issue on their github (https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef). Will probably be available soon, the development seems to be fast - I got two updates in a single day. Also tagging @[email protected]
