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.
A lot of improvements, but some weird problems. Jerboa finally allowed me to log in but not much else. Connect is working better, but won’t allow me to reply to one particular post (“incorrect language” or something). The browser version and wefwef are slow and glitchy - my comment about birds ended up in a conversation about Lemmy apps. I don’t know anything about tech stuff but I get the impression that people are working very hard to fix all the issues. And the spezidus wouldn’t be making things easy. Looking forward to a bigger better Lemmy!
I just installed the newest version of Jerboa, and have been trying repeatedly to log in, but I keep getting an error message saying “incorrect login”. How did you finally get logged into Jerboa, did you have to change your password?
Edit: I finally gave up last night trying to login to Jerboa, but I tried again this morning, and was able to successfully login.
