KNOWN BUGS
- Searching site-wide for “0.18” generates an error. This was working fine in 0.17.4 before Lemmy.ml upgraded: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=0.18&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
I’m curious why especially lemmy.ml wouldn’t wait for full release - surely after 6 RCs the full release is imminent?
Or of course, they’re stress testing it. Makes sense enough.
Wonder if I can finally sub to lemmy.ml communities…
lemmy.ml is official developer instance, makes moste sense to test it out here after dev servers.
It’s probably a combination of testing at scale on a server they control and wanting to get these features out so they can be iterated before a bunch of new users show up.
From my remote instance, I’ve been subbing to lemmy.ml communuites about every 2 or 3 minutes, and it just now started to jam up. I’m speculating that the server restart fixed the problem for the first hour or so, but now it’s back. Open GitHub Issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3101
It’s just so odd that only lemmy.ml communities seem to cause this. Lemmy.world is around as big or bigger and no issue there.
I think lemmy.ml has more posts, comments, likes in the database due to historic reasons - and the backend is timing out, PostgreSQL not keeping up to application timeout. I have seen the problem on Beehaw, Lemmy.world when they are busy and throwing nginx 500 errors on their front page.

I can confirm that.
Not long after you upgraded, I upgraded, and was able to successfully subscribe to things here.
But… not now. /sadface.
