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?

Thank you for all your efforts.

So how does this work..is there a beta server to try it on? Or it worked in resting and it only broke with the full amount of users?

Need to downgrade the UI I think? The frontpage is empty because the UI version is 0.18 while the backend is at 0.17.4.

Thanks again to all admins!

Sucks that you couldnt get it working yet, but there are bound to be problems at this scale.

Anyone have any resources for learning what running a lemmy server is like ? Seems pretty interesting

In the meantime I've migrated over to Connect for Lemmy on Android, and it is working significantly better than Jerboa did.

Not that we'd get them during maintenance but this is a good reason to have some kind of DM system.

appreciate the transparency. how are things looking in the back in lemmy.world (server wise)? will we get to a point where it wont require complete rollbacks on the state when a botched update gets rolled out?

was there a test environment? why rc in production?

Good luck next time. Thank you for your hard work & transparancy.

Hello Lemmy World

Thanks

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.

Thanks for all the hard work!

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?

Thank you for your work!

thanks for your hard work ruud!

If at first you don't succeed, try every other RC until proper :)

We have a good thing going, don't rush it, we'll wait :) and thank you for your service.
