The transparency is so refreshing
Seeing this post immediately made my ditch my neglected Lemmy instance to sign up for an account on this server. Thanks for the hard work.
agreed. as others have stated. Transparency. But also, new software, new tech (in a way, the fediverse/activity pub), and hopefully a new beginning. Happy to be here. If not technically on the ground level (lemmy has been around for a short time before we knew reddit was going to implode), close to it!
Agreed!

This post encapsulates what I love about this place.
It's almost like we're talking to a normal human being rather than an evil overlord.
How so?
Admin communicating information about the site to users like genuine human beings, instead of the corporate-sanitized pablum reddit admins speak in? Yeah that's refreshing.
It shouldn't be unreasonable but it is damn refreshing.

So no more random sports posts at the top of every thread? That was a weird bug.
You WILL know the score
Scores will continue until morale improves!
That was because of websockets. Which are no more in this version so yes all those "random things" bugs from multiple tabs should be fixed.
I was so confused by those and kept backing out my feed and going back to the post, thinking I tapped on the wrong post or maybe the app opened the wrong post. Iβd scroll down and find the right comments though, I couldnβt make any sense of it. Glad I wasnβt crazy lol

Good work upgrading! I can't imagine it being too easy with a big instance.
I had issues with comments not federating to my own instance before this update (showing 0 for hours). Opening up this up now showed most of them right away if not all. Hopefully that means 0.18.1 fixed a fair few issues people had with federation.
Well done! Thank you for your efforts, cheers!
For everyone experiences issues during the login,
This is caused by an issue in the latest RC of the Lemmy UI. It's already been reported, and ruud will probably decide how to deal with it tomorrow.
The current workaround
Make sure you are on the main page (https://lemmy.world) and not looking at any posts or something like that before hitting the login button.
If you encounter other issues, please make sure to clear the browser cache. The latest upgrade also made changes to the API, which can cause issues with the cached version of the website.
A bit off topic, but does anyone else hate how when you click on a post and then go back, the page auto-resets to the top? Wish it would remember how far down you scrolled and return to that point.

I cannot connect with Jerboa, it always says user or password incorrect π
Edit: worked after a few minutes
Same.
Just use Connect for Lemmy on Android. It's pretty good till boost gets here.

Looks like the server is choking again, we've had ~7k new signups so far today π
Well, I hope I'm not the only one but I cannot log in. It's been 4 hours already. Something went wrong. I'm on Firefox mobile.
--> few hours later everything is back to normal

Good bloody job admins, thank you heaps for your perseverance on this.
When not overloaded the site works better now than ever. But in general this instancen is kind of unusable now as everything is too slow.

Let us know where donations can go, suspect a stacked docker-compose will reach limits very quickly

Can I actually post from Jerboa now?! Edit - Great success!!
Huge thanks to the lemmy.world team over the last couple of days to scale and maintain the instance! There's a link for donating on the sidebar for lemmy.world - just a couple bucks a month can help us support this instance!
Am I the only one that just keeps seeing only the same 10 posts on the front page? Almost all about Reddit. Is there just no new content on this app?
Lemmyβs sorting logic needs love. This is the first time itβs really been pressure tested with tens of thousands of simultaneous active users. Were learning that the current logic tends to promote content longer than some people like.
If people are still commenting and voting on a 3 day old posts, those post remain promoted.

Try different sortings. It used to default to "Active," which tends to show days-old posts. For me, "Hot" or "New" seem pretty good. Before the upgrade, anyway. Dunno if that will be changed.

So some strange behaviour: When I pressed the upvote arrows in 0.17.4, it'd immediately show this in the UI. Right now, it does not. The response appears quite slow. Is this a function of 0.18.1-rc or a function of the traffic of the Reddit-fugees?

Lemmy feels much smoother now after hours of being overloaded, what changed?
Thanks again admin team, you rock!

Definitely encountering bugs but I appreciate the work. Growing pains can be good!
I'm not sure if this has been said but, when I open lemmy on browser, my account would sometimes be someone elses. I don't know if it's a bug and I saw it happen three times to me so far, and it even happened again a few minutes ago. It's like I i logged into someone elses account, I saw three other usernames so far. A few minutes ago it said my account was Professor -?-?-?- with that account's profile picture shown too. It only does that for half a second before it returns back to my account.
I'm just making sure this is said because I don't want to one day accidentally log into someone else's account by accident.
