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 can host your own instance, which will be federated with this one by default. Every little bit helps.

      Can you tell me more?

      Can we have distributed compute? Is there some official process to be federated with lemmy.world to provide resources? How do upgrades work? I assume some sort of consensus algorithm is in use (ie. Raft)?

        It’s not distributed computing, they are different servers independent from each other but that replicate data among them because they use the same communication protocol (ActivityPub), that’s what federation does.
