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.
Edit Contacted the devs, they tell me to try again with lemmy-ui at version 0.18.0. Will try again, brace for some downtime!
Edit 2 So we upgraded again, and it seemed to work nicely! But then it slowed down so much it was unuseable. There were many locks in the database. People reported many JSON errors. Sorry, we won’t be on 0.18.1 any time soon I’m afraid…
I’m so new, I’m a baby, I have no idea what I’m doing. I did just create my account, I tried using the app but it wouldn’t let me. Saying server version too low. I’m sorry for my ignorance, but is this what that means? And this means we can’t use the app yet right?
Also, thank you for all of this. I will be here for it all, I’m staying forever! I already love this so much more than anything else 🥰
You are probably on Jerboa. Either downgrade or use the web UI interim.
Or use any of the other apps
What are the other apps? Please & thank you. I just found this on boru in Reddit & am jumping in blind. So excuse my ignorance & thank you for your help 😭
You can try Liftoff . I personally prefer Jerboa over it, but it works
Sorry, I’m so dumb… is there a place I can learn how to use Lemmy better? I don’t know how to downgrade 🥲
Thank you for your help.
Hello and welcome! This guide will give you a bit of information on the workings of Lemmy https://lemmy.world/post/37906
Until we can get the instance updated, yeah the jerboa app doesn’t really work. You could try another app, I’m using liftoff but that’s harder to install, you could Google “thunder Lemmy” and try that one, I haven’t tested it much but I’ve heard good things
