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..

Thats for all the work you're doing on this.

Just FYI, here is a different recurring issue that keeps coming back, I've strictly been using lemmy.world website, keep receiving MLB Game stats for the same day when opening random links, just happened when I opened this thread to view comments. So far if I just reload the page it will then show the correct content. But it keeps happening.

Linux/Firefox After upgrade many things didn't work, but they continued not to work after rollback.

Turns out I needed to clear the cache, then everything worked fine again.

What changes does the new release candidate offer?

[โ€“] pampoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

0.18 is where they have swapped WebSocket for HTTP, as well as tried to fix a load of bugs related to using WebSockets (like the new posts pushing the main feeds down).

0.18.1 is meant to re-enable CAPTCHA on signups, which was removed in 0.18.

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.

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.

[โ€“] T156@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

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