After upgrading Geddit.social to Lemmy v0.18 the whole platform broke..

After many hours of editing configs, debugging and trying out various fixes a little database query to remove the "site icon" fixed it and now are back online!

I'll keep an eye out on further issues..

The exact fix for us using Docker:

Run docker exec -it <postgres-container> "bash" to connect to your postgres database container.
Run psql -U lemmy to connect to the database with the lemmy user.
Run update site set icon = null where id = 1; then \q then exit

looks like geddit interface is smaller than usual.

The UI has changed indeed

@stux That's the weirdest fix I've ever seen. 😂 Guess it's a version upgrade artifact or some such.

I keep getting logged out. Seems to happen on the front page and community pages (pages that list posts, if that's relevant) Possibly relevant: after the recent downtime I changed password
