lemm.ee has been upgraded to 0.18.1!

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!

  • Holy smokes, this is a wild UX and UI improvement. Great work!

  • Thank you for being so diligent about upgrading! It looks good everywhere except on Firefox nightly on Windows 11. It looks good on FF Nightly on Android, looks good on Jerboa, Connect & liftoff, looks good on Edge and Chrome on Windows 11, but on Firefox nightly it doesn't have any content and I can't log in or out without restarting the browser. I would upload a screenshot, but I get a JSON error when I try that.

    • You can use an external image hosting site like Imgur to upload the screenshot. The JSON error happens because lemm.ee has a 100 KB size limit for image uploads.

      • Yeah, I think that error message should be clarified ^^

      • 100KB. I thought it was 300 KB. Thank you. It'll be late tomorrow before I have access to that machine again. I'll upload it if there's still an issue

    • Hey! I have deployed a fix for content not appearing, please check and let me know if it looks any better for you.

  • Splendid! I hope this fixes the main issues of some posts not appearing, and the frontpage flooding with updates periodically?

      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)

    • As well as being able to be accessed by Jerboa again.

  • Whoa, it looks so different now! Gonna take me a few minutes to get used to it but... GLORIOUS USAGE OF HORIZONTAL SCREEN SPACE!

  • Ahh...so much better whitespace usage. Earlier, it felt like I was using a mobile app.

  • 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.

  • D...did the font size get smaller on desktop? Oh god, I feel old.

  • Seems suspiciously functional so far! I say suspiciously because my other account was witness to the .world attempt yesterday lol, but I can already see a lot of stuff has been worked out since then. Crazy fast turnaround, well done to everyone involved!

  • Awesome.

    This might help some others. I had an odd issue where text and buttons were overlapping with images but clearing my cached data and relogging solved the problem.

    • Yep, it seems it's possible to get mismatched theme files into your browser cache under some conditions (I've noticed it when manually changing themes) - clearing the browser cache is the correct workaround for now!

  • If I log out and then back in I see this message. If I go back and refresh, it's gone. You asked me before to check languages in my settings, but that box has never worked right for me. If I highlight a language and hit the x nothing happens. How is that box supposed to work.

    • Try this: highlight all languages, and click save at the bottom of the page (do not click the X at all) - does that make any difference?
