today’s (later than planned) upgrade to lemmy 0.19.2 provisionally appears to have gone alright. if you see excessive amounts of jank (and your page footer can’t decide what version of lemmy it’s running on, IE it shows separate FE and BE versions), clear your browser cache and cookies since lemmy doesn’t seem to do that cleanly on its own
next up I’m planning to deploy the Proton frontend as an alternative to the default and I’m also going to start pushing code to codeberg (most likely) so stay tuned for that
I saw a few closed issues relating to cache control stuff. They’ve fixed some bugs related to it and also saw at least one where more aggressive cache control was implemented to improve performance.
oh hey speak of the devil https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2325 so this isn’t even purely a cache issue, somehow they also broke upgrading credentials between lemmy versions and nobody noticed
fucking brilliant. I might see if I can push a new version of the error page that doesn’t lie about what’s wrong now that caching hopefully isn’t busted
