[Completed] Upgrade to version 18 - eviltoast

I will be updating the instance to v18 at 20:00 22:00 UTC.

See https://programming.dev/post/181191 for the changes

edit: Lemmy.ml updated and seems to have gone down. We’re going to wait and see what the outage was caused by and then proceed from there.

edit 2: lemmy was down due to a ddos attack. We will upgrade at 22:00 UTC

edit 3: we had issues with the email setup getting overridden again. If you tried to sign up in the past 8 hours please try to just log in. If you can’t, please message me (discord, matrix, or mastodon)

    One other thing I noticed now, is that if I mark a message as read, it doesn’t disappear like it used to. It goes away if I refresh the page, but it used to disappear right away when I marked a comment as read.

      That’s because websockets were probably used to relay the state change to the browser. With websockets now removed to improve server performance, that state change may have to be conveyed using something else to replicate that UX.
