Thank you for the transparancy!

Thanks for all your hard work @ruud@lemmy.world. It's not easy!

is that users can’t login anymore

Ouch, that's bad :(

Thank you for your work, as always :)

Both Dessalines and Nutomic have been working their butts off to get 0.18.x ready for the Reddit API changes. Huge hopes they can pull through!

Dessalines:

Nutomic:

UI: 0.18.0 BE: 0.18.1-rc.1 👍

seems to be working for me, I was already logged on

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

As any engineer who does ops can tell you - you did the right thing - the solution is always to roll back, never force a roll forward, ever.

We should totally do pre and post update parties though. Even if the update fails we can have an excuse for drinks and a fun thread.

Oh. Good luck with the next try!

Thanks for the transparency. Maybe it’s a good idea to have a test instance and some test cases/validation done there before updating the main instance. This is a regular process in any software/tech company/stack.

Testing should never be done directly on the prod instance.

@ruud@lemmy.world just wondering if you have considered setting up a second, beta, instance of lemmy.world open to the public?

With all the performance issues with 0.18.1, it's highlighted that there needs to be a way to stress test these updates before applying them to the main instance.

Eveyrthing (UI) is extremely slow now. Not an improvement at all.

Seems 0.18 is up... and...

OH NO ! The interface changed ! Bring it back ! Bring it back... /s

Just kidding... It's looking good, so it's time to explore a little and find all the new stuff.

Nice work @Rudd, thanks for all the hard work.

Seems to be working fine!

Thanks for the info. You're doing a great job!

My current session works now with 0.18.0 + 0.18.1.rc1

I am glad y'all rolled back. I had just enabled 2FA and could not login to my account. Rolling back removed 2FA so I was able to log back in. Thanks.

Jerboa crashes constantly for me now, doesn't even let me view anything. JSYK!

Jerboa is almost unusable for me at the moment. A lot of crashes, pages not loading, messages not sending etc. But I know that's inevitable at times. Restarting my phone seemed to make it worse. But I know you guys are on it! 👍

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.

Linux/Firefox After upgrade many things didn't work, but they continued not to work after rollback.

Turns out I needed to clear the cache, then everything worked fine again.

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?

Was worth a try! But yeah that was pretty bad 😬

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!

I'm so new, I'm a baby, I have no idea what I'm doing. I did just create my account, I tried using the app but it wouldn't let me. Saying server version too low. I'm sorry for my ignorance, but is this what that means? And this means we can't use the app yet right?

Also, thank you for all of this. I will be here for it all, I'm staying forever! I already love this so much more than anything else 🥰

Working fine from Lift-off!

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.
