Was hoping to see if anyone had encountered this issue, I’m running a single user instance for myself, and foolishly I forgot to set my lemmy docker images to not automatically update.
As of updating from 0.18.4 to 0.18.4-beta.8, Sync no longer works. I get a “failed to load” error
I certainly don’t mind waiting till the next stable release since this was my own fault, but wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this
Update: It’s been fixed! Thanks so much ljdawson

Lemmy seems to support backward database migration (at least judging from the database migration script here), so you might be able to revert to v0.18.4 (backup your database first if you haven’t already).
I just tried, seems the migration only moves forward not backward :( I was able to revert it back to the beta.8 image without issue though.
Looks like I might have to wait for a fix for now, but thanks!
That’s a bummer. It seems while lemmy has the backward migration .sql files in their repo, the lemmy app itself only support forward migration and you’ll have to run the backward migration .sql files manually yourself in postgres.
How are you installing the docker image? You can downgrade to the stable version.
I attempted to downgrade, it did not work haha. Seemed to have issues migrating the database backwards
What’s the version scheme here? You shouldn’t have a beta after a release is cut. I expected the next version to be 0.18.5-beta.1. Or an alpha at least.
I agree.
The latest tag is mapped to 0.18.4-beta.8, I had it set to latest and my watchtower upgraded it from 0.18.4, I find it weird too
Yeah my instance is using 0.18.4-beta.8 and Sync has stopped working for me too. I’m not the admin so I can’t really fix this
Ah that’s too bad. I’m glad at least that it seems to be a reproducible issue. But hopefully it’s fixed soon, looks like we just have to wait it out
Someone here managed to get it working by clearing Sync’s cache, so maybe try that?
Clearing the cache seemed to have no effect :(
