Is it wise to do a big deployment on the day when you may receive a massive influx of new users from Reddit? The API changes take affect on the 1st.
Probably not, but surprisingly some 3P apps still work. I can confirm that Joey for Reddit and Infinity for Reddit are still able to access reddit. Seems like they don't pull the plug in one go? Or cherry picking the most demanding apps first?
For context, it's July 1st 16:27 p.m., GMT+9 where I am.
There might be less users influx than expected, though we'll see in the next few hours or days.
All of the apps will work until the devs pull the plug. Maybe those devs have decided to try to eat the cost and offset with subscriptions or something. I know the Apollo dev said it would cost him twenty million dollars per month to pay the API fees, so hopefully the devs of those other apps don't go bankrupt overnight.
I don't think so, in Apollo's last update, Christian said
Looks like Reddit pulled the plug a little early. Apollo started crashing, but I just manually revoked my token and it looks like it fixes the crashing, but no more Reddit access haha.
that makes me think it's on reddit side to pull the plug, not devs. Also each client seems to give different error code, Sync for example give out Error 401, while other client (forgot which one) have Error 429 instead.
I think Sync got it's keys nuked. It started showing "You're being rate limited" messages at midnight (CEST) but it switched to 401 this morning.

Good luck. This is my favorite instance so I will be eagerly awaiting. Lemmy has been incredible and strangely what I needed. I would doom scroll reddit and see the same posts and the same comment chains and just redundancy hell.
Lemmy feels so different and the community is so welcoming. Thanks again everyone for making this lost Redditor a found lemming (is that the correct term lol).
Itβs awesome to see some teamwork between server admins. Best of luck with the upgrade, hope it goes smoothly for you this time!
Thank you for all of your hard work!
Thank you so much for your hard work! I deeply appreciate it.
I can feel the heat off those servers from here.
The Reddit users seem to be wasting no time jumping over to Lemmy, now that their apps just got the boot.
Now the question is: how many will stick around?
May god help us all
Nice work!
What is new with the updated version later today?
The difference between .17 and .18 is pretty substantial. Lemmy.world neglected to update to .18 because captcha support was not working for new account signups, so they waited for v0.18.1

There should be substantial performance improvements because it moves Lemmy from using websocket to HTTP API.
There are lots of other fixes and things, but that is the most substantial change.
They didn't 'neglect' to upgrade. They tried several times, but had issues with each.
There should be substantial performance improvements because it moves Lemmy from using websocket to HTTP API.
Websockets largely have a lower compute cost per request, HTTP requests are slow and expensive vs just firing off data in an already established TCP connection, so this isn't tracking for me?
Was it just the overhead of managing the websockets? Shouldn't an API gateway be doing that anyways...?
