We’ll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I’ve had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.
Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.
Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.
We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh… it’s July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let’s hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.
Is it wise to do a big deployment on the day when you may receive a massive influx of new users from Reddit? The API changes take affect on the 1st.
It’s a bit of a lose lose situation tbh because if we don’t upgrade then the first experience those new people are gonna have of Lemmy is an unusable All feed and a broken Jerboa.
My other account is on lemm.ee and the admin there contributes a lot of fixes to the software (plus has been working with Ruud to figure out our federation issues). He upgraded us a couple days ago and it’s been amazingly stable given that it was only a day after the rc1 disaster.
Ultimately I trust that he and Ruud know what they’re doing, but sometimes with an untestable situation like the size of .world you just have to pull the trigger and hope it works.
Liftoff is working great. Jerboa should be held off on for now because it can’t handle different server versions. Different server versions WILL always be an issue in a federated environment.
It’s funny because a Jerboa fork posted a few days ago in their community can handle different versions like a charm. The oficial app should make that a priority.
Probably not, but surprisingly some 3P apps still work. I can confirm that Joey for Reddit and Infinity for Reddit are still able to access reddit. Seems like they don’t pull the plug in one go? Or cherry picking the most demanding apps first?
For context, it’s July 1st 16:27 p.m., GMT+9 where I am.
There might be less users influx than expected, though we’ll see in the next few hours or days.
All of the apps will work until the devs pull the plug. Maybe those devs have decided to try to eat the cost and offset with subscriptions or something. I know the Apollo dev said it would cost him twenty million dollars per month to pay the API fees, so hopefully the devs of those other apps don’t go bankrupt overnight.
I don’t think so, in Apollo’s last update, Christian said
that makes me think it’s on reddit side to pull the plug, not devs. Also each client seems to give different error code, Sync for example give out Error 401, while other client (forgot which one) have Error 429 instead.
I think Sync got it’s keys nuked. It started showing “You’re being rate limited” messages at midnight (CEST) but it switched to 401 this morning.
The dev for sync opted to turn it off himself on June 30.
Apollo also got nuked yesterday, and the dev specifically said Reddit did it and not him. (And he also said it would’ve been nice if Reddit told them what time it’d happen)
Boost is still working somehow.

Well website crashing all the time and jerboa crash loops. Woop, at least I’ve found a working alternative client now
Which one?
