Update: The maintenance has been completed!

Welcome to 0.18.1! Hopefully you'll notice some much needed UI tweaks as well as several performance optimizations.

I am still going through things and making sure everything looks good, but so far, I have not detected any major issues (fingers crossed). If you do have any problems, please comment below!

Original annoucenemnt below:

0.18.1 is coming!

As I mentioned in a previous post, this upgrade will require brief downtime. I will try to keep it as short as possible, but I can't guarantee an exact window, so if you really can't wait for lemm.ee to be back online, then the best advice I can give is to check back every 5 minutes or so.

As with any update, please be prepared for unexpected side-effects. If we find any major issues, then we can always roll back to good old 0.17.4. If we just find some minor issues, then most likely the overall experience will still be better on 0.18.1, so in that case we stay on 0.18.1 and try to get any potential issues fixed in 0.18.2. In either case, if you see anything weird after the upgrade, please report in the comments!

I have noticed a couple of things with error responses, like when you upload a profile picture above the size limit, it will just throw a JSON error, and I had to search through the error the console threw to figure out why. It's the same when you mess up your email/username on login

Besides that, this site is amazing!

Is it just "above the size limit"? I tried uploading an image in a comment in two different formats (first a PNG of about 1 MB and second a JPG of about 150 kb). Both failed with this error.

I eventually gave up and used an external host. As an aside, wow, imgur seems to have purposefully broke mobile desktop. It used to be possible to upload on mobile by using the desktop site, but now it errors out. It's hard to assume good faith when imgur has made so many bad decisions lately.

I think I read somewhere that the image size limit for lemm.ee is 100kb.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Well, that would certainly explain it. 100KB is pretty tiny though. It'd be nice to have it try to resize client side to get under the limit, too (I always wondered why more image uploaders don't do client side resizing).

I have already made a PR to fix the error message, but it has not been merged yet unfortunately
