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 is almost unusable for me at the moment. A lot of crashes, pages not loading, messages not sending etc. But I know that’s inevitable at times. Restarting my phone seemed to make it worse. But I know you guys are on it! 👍
I recommend you this web app
https://wefwef.app
It is almost as functional as Jerboa and very impressive for a web app.
Already has a lot of what I liked about Apollo just in a web app, very cool!
Currently rate-limited by Lemmy.world, per the dev. You might get a lot of red error boxes.
Why?
Too much traffic going through the app, as he explained it. I would try to link the post, but everything is so janky on both Lemmy.world and our wonderful Apollo clone that I can’t be bothered.
Too much traffic because it is an outstanding app, gotcha.
I just switched to it, Had tried jerboa, connect and liftoff and this one is by far my favorite
Yeah it has plenty of good features already!
Liftoff is a much better app. I used Jerboa as well but found an alternative cuz it was pretty much unusable. Just dowload Liftoff’s latest apk and install
