We’ll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I’ve had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.
Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.
Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.
We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh… it’s July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let’s hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.
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
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.
The dev for sync opted to turn it off himself on June 30.
Apollo also got nuked yesterday, and the dev specifically said Reddit did it and not him. (And he also said it would’ve been nice if Reddit told them what time it’d happen)
Boost is still working somehow.
