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.

    I’ve been on here almost a month and there are usually very few issues and the admin team are quick to troubleshoot when an issue does arise. It should calm down soon!

      Amusingly you sent that twice, presumably because of aforementioned server squeeze 😂 The first thing I noticed in my settings menu is the ability to hide bot accounts. That in itself makes this x10 better than Reddit. All those automated bot posts became such a huge pain in the arse to me.
