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.

    What happened? Or is this not yet done? Sorry I’m kinda lost in the whole CET timings.

      No, we just have bad performance now. Upgrade will be 1.5 hours from now

        Hey thank you! I really thought the upgrade has started since I’m having difficulty fetching posts and commenting.

        I can’t believe you still took the time to reply to comments as busy as you are. Lemmy is really like the early days of Reddit. I hope it never change.

          Replying to comments is a good way to test the responsiveness of the site… :-)

            That’s true. Thanks for all your hard work man!

        Thank you for monitoring this. It was very bad a few minutes ago but seems better now.

          Yeah, well the bad thing is that I reverted a change I did for wefwef to work, so that might be broken now

            It’s okay, today is a bit unique with the influx due to Reddit API cutoff. Next days should be better

            Oh that’s why wefwef isn’t working!

            Haha can confirm it’s broken now but all good. Exciting times for the community!

        Didn’t work at all for me 2-3 hours ago, was the server down or was it something with my internet? (Equally likely)

        P.S Thank you for your service!
