[Update - March 3rd 2024 , 21:14 CET]

The update seems to have worked well. The database migration took some time, but after that it looks everything works as far as we tested. Let us know what you think! And if you like our work, check the donations links in the sidebar ;-)

(As you might notice, the new comments are shown YELLOW, that's not a bug, it's apparently a new feature in Lemmy...)


Hey everyone,

We wanted to announce that we will be attempting to upgrade Lemmy.World to version 0.19.3 on Sunday. The update will start at 2024-03-03 1900 UTC and should hopefully take no more than 2 hours. In the event there are issues, we will roll back to 0.18.5. In the event of a roll back, any data created by users will be lost, so we'll try our best to avoid this!

Hopefully downtime should be minimal <3

During the upgrade, please feel free to make yourself at home on our Matrix and Discord chat rooms.

Please follow Lemmy.World (@[email protected]) - Mastodon for updates.

As usual, status can be tracked by visiting https://dash.lemmy.world and https://status.lemmy.world

Thanks for your patience in waiting for us. Stability is king for us!

Commenting from the latest version of Jerboa.

As far as I can tell so far the update went well. I was a little disappointed that I had to log back in again, old login token expired or whatever, but totally understandable.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Same thing with Boost, logging back in fixed it.

Congratulations and good work! Thanks for all your efforts.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Thanks for your service. I enjoy it over here. Keep on with the good stuff!

Thanks! I fucking hate it!

I post a lot and chat with a decent amount of people. Because of this I've regularly got 20-30+ messages in my inbox. It was bad enough that if I click upvote while typing that it would have deleted my entire message and make me start over. That's fine. I can get over that. I can just rewire around that and just wait or cut the text before doing anything. What's driving me fucking insane now is that instead of being able to mark messages as read and refreshing the page manually, the page refreshes automatically after marking every message as read. I have no idea who the hell thought that would be a good idea but it's idiotic. I either have to mark everything read all at once or suffer through a refresh every single time I mark a message as read.

The other features and what not I'm sure are great but that is such an enormous downside for me that I've barely bothered looking at anything else. Just get frustrated with waiting for a refresh after every message and just going to YouTube or playing a game instead. I'm going to end up just using Boost exclusively for messages, something that just got leaps and bounds better due to threading messages.

Thats true. We hate it too. We suggest you to use photon or any other alternative ui. https://p.lemmy.world

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Oh thank god. If the problem doesn't persist with the A or P then I'm solid.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Was this really the best way to present this?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It is an ENORMOUS downside for people who have a large inbox. Like, fucking severe. So yes. I think that it was in order to demonstrate the absolute absurdity of it. I mean, the admin didn't seem to bothered either given he agreed...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There are better ways of alerting them of that problem than that rant. You're talking like they deliberately slighted you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, you're projecting this as me talking about the admins. I'm not. The admins didn't create the update. They merely applied it. My rant of frustration is for the Lemmy devs, not for the admins. Probably why the Admin said "We hate it too" and agreed on that front.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Doesn't matter who you're talking about, my comment is equally valid no matter who you directed your tirade at. Do you think the developers did that as a personal attack on you? Just report the bug in a civilized way! There's no need for attitude.

Edit: And if you think the devs won't see that, it's pretty likely they're checking the comments in the upgrade notification of the largest Lemmy instance in existence.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I don't really care what you have to say here. You've ignored everything I've said to try and apply your own bullshit to it and say "be more polite". This isn't your world. We don't have to follow what you believe to be the kindest and most polite way to do something. I didn't react like it was a personal attack against me, I reacted with frustration. You are the one who actively projected this as an attack against the admins or developers. You are wrong.

I do not care what else you have to say about this topic. Your opinion doesn't matter to me, especially when you act based off of it without ever asking for clarification. Your opinion doesn't get to force me to phrase things in a certain way. Your opinion doesn't give you the moral highground to lecture me on how to voice my frustration with a bullshit update so bad that even multiple admins from multiple instances behind the scenes are calling this a fucking disaster.

The internet will not fit to your own personal tastes, preferences, and sensibilities. Cope.

Everyone reading this thread already knows you're an asshole, dude. No need to expand upon it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Like I said. The opinion of someone who is projecting what they think as fact? Doesn't matter to me.

Get blocked.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Took me about half hour to get logged back on!! The damn Android system blocked the button I needed to paste the absurdly complex password onto the form. Wish you coild do changes without making people log back on!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Sadly, this would never have worked, because we needed to shutdown the backend and it had very large changes to it too.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It may be an issue with the app Memmy, but I now have a score of zero, not three thousand. It’s not a huge issue at all, just something I noticed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Those "scores" were just "accidentally" a feature, removed after 0.19

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Thanks for all your hard work, LW team :)

Test recieved!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

On the login page, if your existing password is less than 10 characters, the password-validation script will not let you log in.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

I would recommend then to try "forget password"
