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.
You couldn’t have picked a worse day to try something risky. There’s going to be a huge flood of newcomers tomorrow, and if things aren’t working, it could send them straight back to Reddit.
Things aren’t working perfect right now either. The random sports score bug is quite confusing
I don’t have that in Jerboa or Liftoff… Just lots of random crashes mainly
