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.
I agree. I’m an early millenial and had a 10 year account that I primarily accessed using 3rd party apps. This feels much closer to reddit when I first started than reddit itself does right now, and I am grateful for its existence.
