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.

      With how unbelievably awful Reddit is without 3rd party apps, all Lemmy needs to thrive is content (and servers not blowing up).

        Yeah I’m fully prepared to stay here just based off how much effort has gone into making it more accessable. Hopefully the content will be able to get up to the reddit levels.

          The userbase is still a long way away from critical mass, but it might have grown enough to get the snowball rolling. Especially if the power users relied on their 3rd party apps, they might be more inclined to move over, and those were disproportionately responsible for producing the content.

      I don’t see the point in returning to reddit. The Spez has lost the thread and lost any trust from any user who isn’t too young to care or the people who don’t have a brain. So anyone left, isn’t worth interacting with to me. If a miraculous recovery happens, maybe, but I don’t see it as likely at all.

        I’m actually glad this has happened. Quality has been going down on average over time there as it got more popular. And I don’t just mean the site itself.

      If we spray them with glue, quite a few.

      To say I will NEVER use reddit again would be a lie, but it will be very seldom, and only when I’m at a computer. Even that will only last as long as old.reddit does, which is basically guaranteed to be a short time.

      Otherwise, I’m here fully.

      Some of them will, some of them won’t. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

      I’m down for a new social media addiction as long as there’s a good app for it.

        Both Boost and Sync are coming to Lemmy, so you’ll have at least two top tier apps to choose from.
