Is there an update on 18.1?

I feel like with the 3rd party apps shutting down tomorrow, Lemmy could be flooded with new users. It would be a shame if their first experience here is with that front page bug.

They tried, but the update failed. Here's the post about it.
- I saw that, just didn't know if there were any updates.
  
  Just so I understand: You read and understood the article with the problems and realized that admins are working the problem… yet you decide that asking another time would add something of value to that matter
We will be attempting an upgrade to 0.18.1 again tomorrow.
- Good luck!
  
  Thanks! I would be a lot more worried about it, as someone who works in this space daily, if we didn't have a robust admin/mod team. It's a good group. We will definitely handle it in the best way possible.
What is the bug?
- I think it's the use of web sockets. Causes the front page to constantly pull in new content and shift down. It's not even content that belongs in the chosen sorting.
  
  Ahh. My guess is that isn’t a “bug.” It’s more of a feature that was cool when Lemmy had very few posts, but now it’s annoying AF.
