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..

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.

Damn, Im glad you tried, and thanks for the update! I just really want the front page fixed without changing to page 0 lol. That and the 3/6/12 hour filter option.

Keep us updated. Im bouncing back and forth between LW, KBIN, and .ml for now though

any recommendations on other instances I should try outside the lemmy-verse and kbin-verse?

After the update I can no longer log in or interact with Jerboa. Hopefully y'all resolve this soon, as I am really digging Jerboa, but thanks for letting us know what's going on, and keeping up the good work.

There's a major breaking change in the 0.18 update (moving away from Websockets for posts and comments), that means that older Jerboa builds no longer work with instances on, or past, that version, and newer Jerboa builds won't work with servers older than 0.18.

Thank you for the hard work Ruud!

Is this upgrade because removing websockets broke captchas for the sign up process?

Could they just put a page in front of the signup on the webserver with the captcha that needs to be passed first?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I managed to visit when the server was 0.18.1-rc. I didn’t see any posts and the selector for Subscribed, Local and All was “empty”, as in nothing was selected and I could not select anything.

Kind of a related question. If we find bugs or anything, where can we report them? I have tried looking for a contact us page but couldn't find it anywhere.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

pretty brutal bug ngl. was hoping I'd be using jerboa again soon

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is the bug with Jerboa that no subscribed communities are showing up? From my point of view logged in now I only have access to lemmy.world communities

Posted after Edit 2.

I would like to manage my expectations. Yesterday we were looking at 0.18.1 being sent out in about week from the devs. Was 0.18.1-rc.1 what we thought they'd have ready? Do we still think the 7-10 day window is likely?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No they said in a week they would have it final. But maybe it will take a bit longer....

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmy seems like a herculean undertaking. I can't imagine anyone doing the nuts and bolts for free or on any schedule, so it's quite amazing to me that we can talk about getting updates like this.
