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.

Seems to have worked! Typed from Jeboa :)

Looks like it worked! Thanks for all you do @Ruud!

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

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

Looking forward to it. The lag has been brutal.

I sadly couldn't use the web version of lemmy.world at all cause of the websocket issues. 0.18+ is gonna be an amazing upgrade fore this instance! All the devs and staff who made this happen have my undying respect.

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.

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:

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

Looks like the update is showing, but it's been slow since. Hopefully not permanent. Also having issues upvoting.

For those that were about to Google it... 20:00 CET is 12pm PDT and 3pm EDT

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!

Is this happening now? Everything seems up and running

EDIT: absolutely perfect timing

Update went good so far ;)

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!

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

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

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

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

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

Do logins work for anyone else?

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

Working for me currently on connect for Lemmy.

Thanks

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

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.
