      Bots and duplicate accounts on multiple instances. Wouldn’t be surprised if total users is 1/10th of this

          I noticed now that their backend has been updated to the latest RC 0.18 😱😱😱

          EDIT: I still have some communities in pending status

            That would explain it, and I see they pushed docker images for 0.18.0-rc6. I might have to give it a spin on my instance, if they are running it must be pretty safe to use.

            Edit: As for pending status, if I go click the orange “Subscription pending” button then re-subscribe it joins instantly.

            Edit2: larger communities take some time still but you can actively see the posts coming in.

            Edit3: The larger communities require a second unsubscribe/subscribe, but all my lemmy.ml communities are now synced! Great news.

              I’ll wait for the final version anyway. I think is enough to pull down the new image and recreate the container I think, never did this before with Lemmy

                Kinda crazy that one of the biggest lemmy instances out there is just rolling with a releases candidate. That said…the issues that 0.18.0 is supposed to address are substantial so getting it rolled out ASAP is a priority and we’re still in the phase where if it breaks something, people are pretty okay with it.

                Do we have a timeline on the 0.18.0 full drop?
