Thank you for the heads-up. 🤙

This is like that scene in a sci-fi movie where they're trying to repair the shop mid-battle. Good luck!

Finally able to register. Glad to be here.

You know, maybe I'm being overly dramatic, but I really feel like we're at the beginning of something special. I realize that Lemmy has existed for some years, but the whole Reddit thing is really pushing it into the limelight, and it's new to me (I joined just before the blackout).

Seeing all the developers and admins dealing with the inevitable bugs, working together to keep the federated instances operating together during a huge surge in users, like a flotilla of disparate ships lashed together facing a major storm - it makes me excited, nervous, and hopeful. I fully intend to support developers and instances financially, but also want to give a big "yay team" shout-out.

Did I just check lemmy right after the reboot? Good timing huh

Seems to have worked! Typed from Jeboa :)

Success?! Hello from 0.18 :)

The UI is a lot smoother. Feels good man.

Edit: servers are very sluggish though. Hopefully this gets fixed without needing to roll back.

Goodluck and thanks for the effort in all of this guys.

Tried to logout, website on mobile won't release my session, and when I tried to login on jerboa it said password incorrect, not sure if that's a ui issue or a lemmy.world issue though

Do logins work for anyone else?

I created a "in private" Firefox browser session. I can't seem to login through that.

My lemmy server is also running the same versions are you are now. I was getting timeouts with lemmy.world federation so I recompiled lemmy_server with timeout changes:

Just looked. First 1/2 loads were slow but after that it's lighting fast! I think by not everyone establishing a Websocket connection and just loading once performance should increase a tad bit.

Can't login anymore. I'll just use my .ca account for now while things get sorted. Not a big deal. These things take time.

My outdoor BBQ Im hosting starts at the same time as the lemmy upgrade. See you all on the other side and good luck LW admin!

The last few minutes the site seems to be very fast! Let's hope it stays this way!

Update went good so far ;)

Can't you disable the post button within the upgrade progress? It's a shame to see posts to disappear due to it.

The progressive web app had ui issues after the update so I uninstalled it and now I can't figure out how to reinstall it 😕 tried wefwef but that doesn't load anything and can't log in. Happily staying patient though, hoping things smooth out!

Countdown in case you're not sure about the time zones -> 🔴

yay, instance is back! trying to post timed out two times, this is the third try.

looking good so far, the instance is back, testing to post!

Working for me currently on connect for Lemmy.

Thanks

New update sure is fire, post making process page is all cleared up!

Muuuch faster now. Thanks for all the hard work guys!

Is this happening now? Everything seems up and running

EDIT: absolutely perfect timing

yay, instance is back! trying to post timed out two times, this is the third try.

I hope it works! I'm so over posts just spawning into a page that is already loaded.

Is the update done? The platform isn't going too well 😅
