I’m planning on upgrading lemmy to v0.18.0 tonight, probably around 9pm CDT. So there will be a bit of downtime, but I don’t think it should take too long.
Release Announcement: https://lemmy.ca/post/862306
edit: kids baseball game went long, should start around 10pm CDT.
edit2: going to start in about 5 minutes. 9:55pm CDT.
edit3: looks like we’re updated. let me know if you notice any issues!
Sounds good. Keep up the good work!
It’s great to see all the changes they’re making and that the devs are listening to community feedback. Looks like the community is also helping out a lot with all the shoutouts in that post!
HTTP API instead of Websocket
Super excited about this one. The live updates in the comments is kind of neat, but it makes trying to browse the All tab basically impossible.
I didn’t see it mentioned - have they fixed the weird Hot/Active bug in this release?
Thanks @smorks for keeping this place running!

From what I’ve been able to see using lemmy.ml (they are on 0.18 already), the sorting seems to be fixed, hot/active works as expected, and there are other sorting options available, too.
I’m really looking forward to 0.18 on lemmy.ca!
I was wondering when you were gonna tackle this. I hope it goes well!
Have you considered installing the extension mentioned in this post to help examine the bottleneck issues?
Captchas are not available in this version, as they need to be reimplemented in a different way. They will be back in 0.18.1, so wait with upgrading if you rely on them.
Is there any concern about losing captchas? Seems like the bot situation is still rampant at this point. (Shouldn’t be long though for it to get added again https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3289)
lemmy.ca has closed registration and you need to write an application, so i dont think this affects us as much as a bigger / open instance
