Posted after Edit 2.

I would like to manage my expectations. Yesterday we were looking at 0.18.1 being sent out in about week from the devs. Was 0.18.1-rc.1 what we thought they'd have ready? Do we still think the 7-10 day window is likely?

I want to upvote, but I get this instead.

So how does this work..is there a beta server to try it on? Or it worked in resting and it only broke with the full amount of users?

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

Need to downgrade the UI I think? The frontpage is empty because the UI version is 0.18 while the backend is at 0.17.4.

Thanks again to all admins!

Sucks that you couldnt get it working yet, but there are bound to be problems at this scale.

Anyone have any resources for learning what running a lemmy server is like ? Seems pretty interesting

Not that we'd get them during maintenance but this is a good reason to have some kind of DM system.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Is this upgrade because removing websockets broke captchas for the sign up process?

Could they just put a page in front of the signup on the webserver with the captcha that needs to be passed first?

What changes does the new release candidate offer?

Bummer. What keeps me from using Lemmy more atm is that it‘s unresponsive and gets stuck a lot on my end (iOS). I was hoping the update would improve on this. I hope future upgrades work better. Thanks for your work!

was there a test environment? why rc in production?
