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.
update: opened Firefox’s inspector, the login form sends a POST request to lemmy.world/api/v3/user/login but that request seems to always return a 404 error. Maybe there’s some issue with paths @ruud? On lemmy.ml if there’s really a login issue the request returns a 400 status code instead.
