In anticipation of Lemmy's upcoming 0.19 release, and to work out any final issues, we're going to deploy a test release on lemmy.ml within the next few days.

We're doing this testing on lemmy.ml only, so that we can encounter any issues before the release, and to make sure the upgrade process is smooth for other production servers.

Some of the following will happen during the process:

  • Apps will likely break (only for lemmy.ml)
  • Lemmy.ml may experience some downtime for the upgrade to complete (ideally no more than an hour).
  • If anything goes wrong, we may have to restore from a database backup, meaning content made in between backups may be lost.

If all goes well, we'll have an official announcement for the release after this testing period.

I apologize for the difficulties this might cause. At most this will be a week of hair-pulling, but its vital that we catch any issues before telling other servers to upgrade.

When I open lemmy, it automatically seems to go to the global screen, but still displays the "subscribed" tab as being selected.

I'm subscribed to neither the piracy, nor the world news nor the gay news communities.

We've got that one fixed now.

Is it normal that opening comments now completely refreshes the page instead of automatically loading the page semi-dynamically? if I click the comments button on beehaw the whole page doesn't have to reload, and it's actually faster. This seems like an annoying regression, is there a technical advantage to this?

edit: on further analysis, it doesn't do a full page load when you go to your username > profile

or when you click on comments from the link, so, I think this is actually a bug.

Thought I'd mention a problem (re: Apps will likely break (only for lemmy.ml)) I am developing an app and this one request stopped working:

https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/community/list?type_=Subscribed&auth=[MY_AUTH]&username=[MY_USERNAME]&limit=50

Any other type_ works. This one used to return only a users Subscribed communities but it just returns an empty array {"communities":[]}. When you load it up in a browser it works. I'm driving myself crazy

Is anyone else unable to see a list of their own posts in their profile area? For example, I have several posts in /c/caps@lemmy.world that aren't showing up in my profile.

My profile: https://lemmy.ml/u/yo_scottie_oh?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

An example of a post that I'd expect to show up there: https://lemmy.ml/post/8549237

Which, oddly is the same as this post: https://lemmy.world/post/8833534 (but this might be off topic).

I can see posts in other people's profiles, e.g. https://lemmy.ml/u/KindnessInfinity?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts.

I seem to have been screwed over by TOTP.

Hearing that this update was supposed to make borking your account harder to do when setting it up, I enabled it. Put the secret in my authenticator app, got my six digit code, and away I went.

Now, a few days later, having changed nothing on my end, Lemmy.ml won't accept my TOTP code. My session token on desktop is expired so I can't remove it now.

Currently my only lifeline to this account is my logged in session in Voyager, which, as far as I can tell, cannot access the TOTP setting. (Or any profile setting, for that matter... am I just stupid?)

No email to recover from, either. That's on me, I guess. Ugh.

Not sure what my recourse is, if I even have any.

Have you tried logging in through other apps to see if they’ll take your TOTP?

Was sort by Controversial supposed to show most Controversial of all time or what is currently most Controversial?

Boost for Lemmy (v1.0.3 Nov 16, 2023) seems to be having issues with this 0.19 release.

While using Boost, I stayed signed in, but my feed while set to Subscribed was showing posts not under my subscriptions. I blocked most memes communities for example yet they all showed back up, filtering by Subscribed or All they appear like identical feeds. After I signed out, to see if it made a difference, I am unable to sign back in. I'm posting this from Firefox/the web browser instead of the Boost app.

One problem is that a few communities, while they do show up in my subscriptions list, do not indicate that I am subscribed to them when I am on the community page (for example, !asklemmy@lemmy.ml is one of those communities where I noticed that issue, it mostly fluctuates between me being subscribed to the community or not). If it needs to be marked as an issue on GitHub, you can let me know.

The site feels faster, the notifications are more reactive, and moderator view is a godsend.

As for now, the only new bug is fairly minor, markup-related. Examples here and here, screenshot:

Before the update, "" "a" and "haver" would use a plain highlight colour (they were using the `code` markup); "dog**'s**" and "cat**'s**" had bold face.

Has anyone experienced trouble logging in through Jerboa app? Jerboa crashes every time I try to log into this instance, but other instances log in fine.

[–] pixelscript@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Creators of Lemmy, owners of this instance, and creators of the Jerboa app are all the same people. As I understand it, Jerboa won't be getting an update until they're happy with the stability of the update to Lemmy itself. Lemmy is getting all the focus first. Also, no sense in pushing a client update for a server update that itself is not finished.

Getting really annoyed at that error toast in Jerboa, though, not gonna lie. And not being able to post on mobile. At least I can still read posts and comments, though. Hopefully the patch will release soon.

I have two accounts, one on feddit.de which runs stable all the time. But my older account here on lemmy.ml seems broken in the last week:

  • ~~I can't see my own new posts in profile, comments work.~~
  • post and comment upvote-count is at zero.
  • ~~log in with jerboa let the app crash.~~

Edit: last one got fixed with new jerboa update
