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..

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.

I've been using Jerboa since I joined a few weeks ago, I haven't been liking any of the other clients so far, but today I tried thunder and I'm enjoying it more than Jerboa

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.

Version fracturing is probably going to be a fact of life on a decentralized platform like lemmy, a "good" app should probably handle cases for the latest few revisions instead of just the latest.

It normally would, it's just that 0.18 is a breaking change, incorporating a major rewrite of how posts and comments work on Lemmy.

Thanks for the update! (I mean the communication regarding the update) 0.18 moved away web sockets right? Maybe that leads to different DB access patterns causing locks on such a big instance as lemmy.world.

Looks like we're still having issues, more's the pity.

Do we know what's causing the issue, or is it still a bit of a mystery for the time being?

It seems that my Hot feed has been stuck for the last day or two.

Finally got signed up, had to change my username for some crazy reason.

Is there any place that people can assist in trying to figure out issues?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Well you can either help the devs via their Github, or if you wanna help sysadmin the server I can send you a link to our Discord.

FYI, my UI is currently a bit buggy after the second rollback.

create post UI:

expanding the menu messes up the header:

Dang, I updated Jerboa too hastily, time to figure out how to downgrade back to 0.34

Sucks that lemmy.world won't be working with Jerboa when the reddit apps quit working in a couple days.

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

alternatives like LiftOff is available

It's available from play store now? Awesome! Will definitely try out.

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

Liftoff is a much better app. It's working great

On the plus side, I'm about to open the beta that handles both just fine (plus a lot of features no one else is doing yet). The deadline I for myself is Saturday when the Reddit clients go down.

Unfortunately it was built by someone who lurks and comments, and I realized even though merging feeds from accounts on different servers is going to be awesome, other people like to post and I need to stop getting off track

The stress of the timeline is starting to get to me and I'm terrified no one is going to give it a chance, but I've fixed most of the things that drove me nuts in jerboa... That should count for something, right?
