Update: The maintenance has been completed!
Welcome to 0.18.1! Hopefully you’ll notice some much needed UI tweaks as well as several performance optimizations.
I am still going through things and making sure everything looks good, but so far, I have not detected any major issues (fingers crossed). If you do have any problems, please comment below!
Original annoucenemnt below:
0.18.1 is coming!
As I mentioned in a previous post, this upgrade will require brief downtime. I will try to keep it as short as possible, but I can’t guarantee an exact window, so if you really can’t wait for lemm.ee to be back online, then the best advice I can give is to check back every 5 minutes or so.
As with any update, please be prepared for unexpected side-effects. If we find any major issues, then we can always roll back to good old 0.17.4. If we just find some minor issues, then most likely the overall experience will still be better on 0.18.1, so in that case we stay on 0.18.1 and try to get any potential issues fixed in 0.18.2. In either case, if you see anything weird after the upgrade, please report in the comments!
You must log in or register to comment.
Hopefully we don’t get any of these issues.
There were a lot of known issues with rc1, I have been fixing a couple of them myself. All known blockers have been fixed now!
Excellent. Thanks as always for all your hard work!
Great! I’m glad I’ll be able to use Jerboa again (hopefully).
Holy smokes, this is a wild UX and UI improvement. Great work!
Working great! And Jerboa too.
@sunaurus@lemm.ee Thank you so much for all of the hard work you’re putting in here!
Thank you for upgrading! 0.17.4 felt really unusable with all the random posts coming in all the time due to webhooks.
And now I can use Jerboa!
Nice, congrats @sunaurus@lemm.ee
Splendid! I hope this fixes the main issues of some posts not appearing, and the frontpage flooding with updates periodically?
As well as being able to be accessed by Jerboa again.

I hope so as well 😃 (the frontpage flooding with posts should be gone for sure, as for posts not appearing, we’ll know the full extent of the improvement once most of the network upgrades to 0.18.1)
Whoa, it looks so different now! Gonna take me a few minutes to get used to it but… GLORIOUS USAGE OF HORIZONTAL SCREEN SPACE!
For 2 minutes before this comment you are reading, I started to get really slow response on loading postings and communities. Then an actual error came up:
Refreshing a few times and it then loaded the post I was viewing. PostgreSQL most likely too busy.
I’m responding from lemmyonline.com because I can’t see this post signed into lemm.ee. Anyway the presentation is fantastic now, looks beautiful. Problem is I’m missing posts. A couple things are fixed that were broke by 0.18.0 so that’s great to see. If it weren’t for the missing posts, this release would be a winner. It’s a release candidate so no surprise there’s issues, but it’s looking like the official 0.18.1 release is going to be golden.
BTW, I logged out, cleared my browser cache, and logged back in to check no issues due to stale data.
I can’t see this post signed into lemm.ee.
Are you by any chance hiding read posts?
This also seems to apply to own posts (since you obviously read them, duh). Confused me once.
Can you double check that you have all languages selected under your profile? Other users have reported that they were missing some languages, and until they selected the rest, posts weren’t showing up.
Yay!
My first annoyance, when I hit tab it goes to language, rather than post. No more Tab + Space or Tab + Enter to post my comment.
But at the same time, it’s soooooo nice not having the first page filled from the top with posts that don’t fill the sorting mode I’ve set!
You can save a comment with “Ctrl + Enter” now (which is what I always tried before and didn’t work).
Ah funky, the standard email shortcut. Good to know, thanks!
Edit: another weird thing it does though: when you post a reply to a comment it goes to that comment new directly, rather than the comment you were replying to or your new comment + context.
I have noticed a couple of things with error responses, like when you upload a profile picture above the size limit, it will just throw a JSON error, and I had to search through the error the console threw to figure out why. It’s the same when you mess up your email/username on login
Besides that, this site is amazing!

Seen the same thing. There is an open issue on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3366
Moving the collapse/expand button to the left of the username is just so much better. I know there are a bunch of other fixes and changes, but this simple thing was really grating.
Congratulations!
