We'll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I've had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.

Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.

Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.

We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh.. it's July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let's hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.

Crossing my fingers for everything to work out well. Iโ€™m looking forward to being able to log into Jerboa.

Godspeed. I really hope this is the one and the age of randomly redirecting to sports game threads will be over!

Goodluck and thanks for the effort in all of this guys.

Is it wise to do a big deployment on the day when you may receive a massive influx of new users from Reddit? The API changes take affect on the 1st.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a bit of a lose lose situation tbh because if we don't upgrade then the first experience those new people are gonna have of Lemmy is an unusable All feed and a broken Jerboa.

My other account is on lemm.ee and the admin there contributes a lot of fixes to the software (plus has been working with Ruud to figure out our federation issues). He upgraded us a couple days ago and it's been amazingly stable given that it was only a day after the rc1 disaster.

Ultimately I trust that he and Ruud know what they're doing, but sometimes with an untestable situation like the size of .world you just have to pull the trigger and hope it works.

Liftoff is working great. Jerboa should be held off on for now because it can't handle different server versions. Different server versions WILL always be an issue in a federated environment.

Good luck. This is my favorite instance so I will be eagerly awaiting. Lemmy has been incredible and strangely what I needed. I would doom scroll reddit and see the same posts and the same comment chains and just redundancy hell.

Lemmy feels so different and the community is so welcoming. Thanks again everyone for making this lost Redditor a found lemming (is that the correct term lol).

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Y'all are so nice and transparent here. This place is lovely, unlike Reddit and their admins lol.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nice work with everything so far, really liking it. What all is being changed/fixed in the new revision? Is it just more efficient code to support higher site traffic?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

May god help us all

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you for all of your hard work!

Is the update done? The platform isn't going too well ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Give it a chance, Lemmy is new and these things take time!

My outdoor BBQ Im hosting starts at the same time as the lemmy upgrade. See you all on the other side and good luck LW admin!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A bit concerning perhaps hold this off for a week or so seems like this is very important moment for the users from r**dit to decide if they want to be here or not.

This hasn't gone well! Fingers crossed it sorts itself out without a rollback.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Good luck! ๐Ÿ€

Iโ€™m going to begin supporting this instance on Patreon starting this month, I guess symbolic of the changing times and server demands.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Working super slow. Like 45 seconds per page load.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I like the new layout better, just hope everything keeps working

Something tells me it will work this time.
