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!
You must log in or register to comment.
Hopefully we don’t get any of these issues.
There were a lot of known issues with rc1, I have been fixing a couple of them myself. All known blockers have been fixed now!
Excellent. Thanks as always for all your hard work!
Where can I follow development on the release clients?
Holy smokes, this is a wild UX and UI improvement. Great work!
Thank you for the upgrade! Site is working and looking great on desktop, but can’t seem to see any posts on ios (tried safari and edge). Attempted to login on mobile but it just brings me back to the login page, also tried deleting cookies and cache but didn’t help.
Hey, I have deployed a fix for a specific bug, can you check if it helped at all for you on iOS?
Thanks for the quick update. I’m afraid the site is still blank on ios for me after clearing site data and reloading. No problem, will use the desktop version in the meantime!
Can you give it another try now? I just deployed some fixes that might help!
Just to be 100% certain - if it still doesn’t work, could you also check if it’s broken in an incogintio/private browsing tab? That would ensure that requests are being made without any cache.
It works!!! Thank you so much for the time and effort you’ve been putting in for the community! 🙏🏻
Great! I’m glad I’ll be able to use Jerboa again (hopefully).
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
I just noticed your username. Haha.
Hey! I have deployed a fix for content not appearing, please check and let me know if it looks any better for you.
Unfortunately, there’s no change. I finally got a screenshot up.
Thank you so much for working SO much on lemm.ee! You’re a fantastic sysadmin.
Hmm, that’s unfortunate… Could you also take a screenshot of what the console in your developer tools looks like on lemm.ee? Here’s a general guide on how to access the console: https://balsamiq.com/support/faqs/browserconsole/#google-chrome
I’ve got to learn to pay more attention to the notifications bell in Lemmy.
The console says Uncaught (in promise) Error: Cannot find module ‘./es-PR’ a https://lemm.ee/static/2402446/js/client.js:1
I do have some settings in Spanish. That’s apparently the language code for Puerto Rican Spanish. In Lemm.ee, I had Undetermined, English & Spanish selected. I de-selected Spanish, but still get the same error in the console.
Edit: I Logged out in FF, deleted cookies for lemm.ee & restarted the browser, but the error is still there. I’ve also confirmed that the error exists in Linux.
I deleted Puerto Rican Spanish from the display languages in FF. That just changed the error to es-MX. I deleted Mexican Spanish from FF. Lemm.ee displayed correctly! 😁 I re-added the 2 Spanish settings, closed & re-opened FF and the site still displays correctly, so this issue is resolved.
Thank you so much for the detailed response, I believe I have managed to fix the issue. I will be deploying the fix on lemm.ee later tonight!
You’re welcome! I work on a help desk among other I.T. related things, so I like thorough documentation for others & my future self.
When you get a chance, could you check if the issue has been resolved for you? I deployed my fix a little while ago.
Nice, congrats @sunaurus@lemm.ee
I have noticed a couple of things with error responses, like when you upload a profile picture above the size limit, it will just throw a JSON error, and I had to search through the error the console threw to figure out why. It’s the same when you mess up your email/username on login
Besides that, this site is amazing!

Seen the same thing. There is an open issue on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3366
I have already made a PR to fix the error message, but it has not been merged yet unfortunately
Is it just “above the size limit”? I tried uploading an image in a comment in two different formats (first a PNG of about 1 MB and second a JPG of about 150 kb). Both failed with this error.
I eventually gave up and used an external host. As an aside, wow, imgur seems to have purposefully broke mobile desktop. It used to be possible to upload on mobile by using the desktop site, but now it errors out. It’s hard to assume good faith when imgur has made so many bad decisions lately.
I think I read somewhere that the image size limit for lemm.ee is 100kb.
Well, that would certainly explain it. 100KB is pretty tiny though. It’d be nice to have it try to resize client side to get under the limit, too (I always wondered why more image uploaders don’t do client side resizing).
Working great! And Jerboa too.
@sunaurus@lemm.ee Thank you so much for all of the hard work you’re putting in here!
Whoa, it looks so different now! Gonna take me a few minutes to get used to it but… GLORIOUS USAGE OF HORIZONTAL SCREEN SPACE!
Thank you for upgrading! 0.17.4 felt really unusable with all the random posts coming in all the time due to webhooks.
And now I can use Jerboa!
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.
Ahh…so much better whitespace usage. Earlier, it felt like I was using a mobile app.
Moving the collapse/expand button to the left of the username is just so much better. I know there are a bunch of other fixes and changes, but this simple thing was really grating.
Yay!
My first annoyance, when I hit tab it goes to language, rather than post. No more Tab + Space or Tab + Enter to post my comment.
But at the same time, it’s soooooo nice not having the first page filled from the top with posts that don’t fill the sorting mode I’ve set!
You can save a comment with “Ctrl + Enter” now (which is what I always tried before and didn’t work).
Ah funky, the standard email shortcut. Good to know, thanks!
Edit: another weird thing it does though: when you post a reply to a comment it goes to that comment new directly, rather than the comment you were replying to or your new comment + context.
