      I found the UI 0.18.0 | BE 0.18.1-rc.1 combination to be awfully slow and buggy.

      Why not just update both Backend (BE) and Frontend (UI) to 0.18.0 and disable signups until 0.18.1 is released? I mean, lemmy.world really doesn’t suffer from not having enough users, right?

          On the other hand it appears to me that lemmy (the software) isn’t quite ready to handle such a massive influx of new users. So what is better?

          • Ask for patience
          • or have many,many people get (and possibly report) a far from optimal experience?

          I’m pretty confident that in a few weeks or maybe months lemmy has matured enough to easily handle the amount of traffic it is currently struggling with quite a bit.

            Your comment raises an interesting question: How prepared is Lemmy (the software) to scale?

        0.18.0 would have given us the same issues we experienced today. We tried everyhing on a test-instance before but once the live was upgraded it went from good to bad very fast. Json errors, 2FA issues and then the slowness.

          This is kinda odd since lemm.ml is running 0.18.0 on both BE and UI for quite a while now. Also I got the foillowing error message quite frequently and the UI was unresponsive until I refreshed the browser window. But maybe this was while UI 0.18.0 was active with BE 0.17.4. Looks like now eveyrthing is back to 0.17.4.

          When do you expect to turn into the next u/spez. Are we talking years or months or weeks?

          Are you a fan of Elon Musk?

          Are you American?

          Which political party do you support?

          Do you have lop-sided eyes and invisible eye brows?
