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.

    “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.
