Really like seeing posts like this that explain what's going on. Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks a lot for your hard work, take your time with your children

This post encapsulates what I love about this place.

So no more random sports posts at the top of every thread? That was a weird bug.

Good work upgrading! I can't imagine it being too easy with a big instance.

I had issues with comments not federating to my own instance before this update (showing 0 for hours). Opening up this up now showed most of them right away if not all. Hopefully that means 0.18.1 fixed a fair few issues people had with federation.

Well done! Thank you for your efforts, cheers!

For everyone experiences issues during the login,

This is caused by an issue in the latest RC of the Lemmy UI. It's already been reported, and ruud will probably decide how to deal with it tomorrow.

The current workaround
Make sure you are on the main page (https://lemmy.world) and not looking at any posts or something like that before hitting the login button.
If you encounter other issues, please make sure to clear the browser cache. The latest upgrade also made changes to the API, which can cause issues with the cached version of the website.

I cannot connect with Jerboa, it always says user or password incorrect 🙁

Edit: worked after a few minutes

Congratulations! I can’t believe how much you get done, Ruud! You are crushing it

Only being on Lemmy.world for a day. It seems smoother ...yes I am a reddit user trying to find a new home. 😂

A bit off topic, but does anyone else hate how when you click on a post and then go back, the page auto-resets to the top? Wish it would remember how far down you scrolled and return to that point.

Well, I hope I'm not the only one but I cannot log in. It's been 4 hours already. Something went wrong. I'm on Firefox mobile.

--> few hours later everything is back to normal

Looks like the server is choking again, we've had ~7k new signups so far today 😅

Good bloody job admins, thank you heaps for your perseverance on this.

When not overloaded the site works better now than ever. But in general this instancen is kind of unusable now as everything is too slow.

Can I actually post from Jerboa now?! Edit - Great success!!

Eyyyy, nice. I can use Jerboa again. Thanks for your work!

Am I the only one that just keeps seeing only the same 10 posts on the front page? Almost all about Reddit. Is there just no new content on this app?

So some strange behaviour: When I pressed the upvote arrows in 0.17.4, it'd immediately show this in the UI. Right now, it does not. The response appears quite slow. Is this a function of 0.18.1-rc or a function of the traffic of the Reddit-fugees?

Very nice. I see there are lots of little UI changes too. Thank you for your time and effort.

Let us know where donations can go, suspect a stacked docker-compose will reach limits very quickly

I'm not sure if this has been said but, when I open lemmy on browser, my account would sometimes be someone elses. I don't know if it's a bug and I saw it happen three times to me so far, and it even happened again a few minutes ago. It's like I i logged into someone elses account, I saw three other usernames so far. A few minutes ago it said my account was Professor -?-?-?- with that account's profile picture shown too. It only does that for half a second before it returns back to my account.

I'm just making sure this is said because I don't want to one day accidentally log into someone else's account by accident.

Woohoo! I'm in fellas

love the transparency and how fast this is!! looks like we will do it lemmy! and reddit can suck a dick

Nice work!

Lemmy feels much smoother now after hours of being overloaded, what changed?

Thanks again admin team, you rock!

Nice. I can use jerboa now.

Definitely encountering bugs but I appreciate the work. Growing pains can be good!

We did it Lemmit!

...oh wait

Thanks a bunch for your hard work, Ruud and other admin folks! It's so damn GOOD to be able to use Jerboa again!

Also, it's really nice to see the breakdown of your work, helps a lot in understanding what you go through and maybe even of there's anything we can help with. Keep it up!

I'm one of the many who have had trouble logging in, and this issue is surely underreported as those affected generally aren't able to report it. It also seems like I'm not able to upvote or downvote. I'll update with any more issues that I come across but I only just now became able to log-in after a long wait and several different browsers.

Edit: it seems like I can successfully upvote/downvote, but the updated vote count and my blue/red arrow only show after refreshing the page. Thanks for all the work you put into this instance btw

Edit 2: All problems seem to have resolved now

Thank you!
