Server Maintenance and Upgrade finished (Lemmy 0.18.0)

Edit: Updated lemmy to 0.18.1.rc.10 and lemmy-ui to 0.18.1.rc.11. ARM64 images on Docker Hub.

Hello, guys.

As you might've noticed by the downtime, I decided to upgrade the server today, because I pretty much failed yesterday, due to migraine.

👍 Good news: The server is now running the latest version of Lemmy, 0.18.0.

👎 Bad news: There are still some issues that may or may not affect usability. But so far, things seem to be pretty minor.

This version of Lemmy brings a bunch of performance- and usability optimizations, for instance:

• WebUI looks sleeker
• Better editor
• Resubscribing to Communities that show "Subscribe Pending" should actually subscribe now (works with lemmy.ml communities, but not lemmy.world, for instance, partially fixes this)
• 2 factor authentication (2FA) is now a thing*
• Custom emojis are now possible (maybe someone wants to make some FOSS emojis?)
• Improved error messages (no more white screens)
• Error messages during login and registration are finally fixed (fixes this)

Some issues I encountered so far:

• CAPTCHAs were patched out temporarily, so we're going to switch to manual approval in the meantime (GitHub Issue)
• "couldnt_find_object" error during search (GitHub Issue)
• *2FA implementation is not well done for non-tech-savyy users and might lead to self-lockout until password reset is issued (GitHub Issue)

⚠️ In case you encounter more issues, please let me know by commenting underneath this post or by posting in /c/fossware_support.
