Lemmy.world is now upgraded to 0.18.1-rc.1, with the lemmy-ui at 0.18.0.

Why we upgraded to a RC instead of wait for the stable version? Because of the many issues with streaming that many users complained about, and the fact that Jerboa app stopped working for 0.17.4.

Also we are troubleshooting federation issues, for which the upgrade is a step to see if that solves part of it, and makes troubleshooting easier.

Old message: 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.

    Jerboa works fine with lemmy world, it just gives a warning and crashes on occasion. Not an issue to use it though.

      Yes, if you are already logged in. If you are not logged in, or get logged out you will not be able to log back in until the server version is above 0.18

      Well you’re a lucky one. Jerboa has been unusable for me and other folks post v0.34 since the first rc release of 0.18. I finally managed to downgrade to 0.34 and login after lots of black magic. It used to crash instantly, even on 0.34.

      That being said, good luck to lemmy.world admins and thanks a lot for the open comms !

      With the last couple updates jerboa has got to a point that I probably won’t even move to sync when it comes. I’m pretty happy with it. But if Lemmy Is Fun ever happens, I’m out.

        I’m of a similar mind: I’m happy with Jerboa, yet also looking forward to Slide.

      “crashes on occasion”

      Unfortunately, the occasion seems to be at least once every five minutes for me. thisisfine.jpg This is not fine and definitely a major issue. Especially as we get closer to July 1. After this news from lemmy.world, I will have to switch, probably to Connect, until Sync arrives.

      For me at least, I’m unable to change the community scope or sorting method. The only thing I can use Jerboa for is “local” and sorted by “active”. It isn’t totally unusable, but I would much rather be able to switch to subscribed and hot.
