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.

Looking awesome! faster, more responsive, new sorting types, tighter layout, no auto-load of random posts ๐Ÿฅณ ๐Ÿฅณ

Just need to sort out the wefwef issue, and we're back in business...

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

the age of randomly redirecting to sports game threads

Glad I wasn't the only one experiencing that.

Pages loading slowly here and sometimes not loading content. Could be due to the number of new users.

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

Looking better! Let's go!

Thank you so much for your hard work! I deeply appreciate it.

US people: This is 2p EDT today. I had to look it up, so I thought I'd save you the trouble.

EDIT: I'm assuming that Ruud means CEST (the summer daylight savings time version of the time zone that's currently being used there).

Latest version of Jerboa on Google Play doesn't work with servers below 0.18;

For those who want to use Jerboa to access lemmy.world before the upgrade to 0.18.x happens, you can install a specific release from GitHub instead of Google Play. I found version 0.0.34-alpha to work (using it rn to post this). https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases/tag/0.0.34

Edit: since the update is done, it's probably best to go back to latest version. Glad I helped someone!

What is new with the updated version later today?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The difference between .17 and .18 is pretty substantial. Lemmy.world neglected to update to .18 because captcha support was not working for new account signups, so they waited for v0.18.1

There should be substantial performance improvements because it moves Lemmy from using websocket to HTTP API.

There are lots of other fixes and things, but that is the most substantial change.

Websockets largely have a lower compute cost per request, HTTP requests are slow and expensive vs just firing off data in an already established TCP connection, so this isn't tracking for me?

Was it just the overhead of managing the websockets? Shouldn't an API gateway be doing that anyways...?

It's this why I can't login to the jerboa app?

What happened? Or is this not yet done? Sorry Iโ€™m kinda lost in the whole CET timings.
