Well it wouldn’t be a software launch if it didn’t have problems. I think we’ve eliminated almost all issues, but for completeness, here’s what we had to endure:

The ones that are mostly user error:

  • I only see one post - Make sure you’re viewing the Local instance, not just your Subscriptions

  • Invalid Passwords when Creating Accounts - Your password must contain a special character and be a reasonable length – make sure you’re not doing “hunter2” or something

Here are the ones I think I’ve resolved. Chime in if you see these again:

  • Image uploading failures - Sporadic failures stopped once I bumped the rate limit for image uploads. If it comes back, I’ll try a solve at nginx
  • Email validation links not working - This one happened because the Photon frontend (the “Modern” one) can sometimes verify your email twice. The first one succeeds, then the second one fails because you’ve already verified. If you get this one, you’re good, just log in. By switching the main UI back over to lemmy-ui, I think I’ve mitigated this one.

    If you’re able to log in, you’re fine. If you don’t mind though:

    • Were you on forum.guncadindex.com or red.guncadindex.com?
    • Desktop or mobile?
    • What was the exact error you received?
