[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.

Lemmy.World Pub

Matrix

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!

Why can't we see the amount of upvotes and downvotes? Put it back.

Downvotes are hidden, so you can't tell how many people dislike the n-word. NI99ER NI99ER N I G G E R N I G G E R N I G G E R NIG9ER NI9GER NIGG ER

Do you still think that this is a good feature?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (3 children)

If this doesn’t go well I’ll be pursuing a refund.

Exciting times, best of luck with the update!

In the event of a roll back, any data created by users will be lost, (...)

You mean to say : "any data created for these few hours" ...right ? ...Right ?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

YES! During the upgrade window ONLY πŸ˜…. Our DR plan is pretty tight, some great DBA's on staff. (Ex Ruud)

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

Thank you for clarifying, I was rather concerned about your processes if a rollback would lose all data hahaha

What am I supposed to do with my free time in the meantime, do you expect me to talk to people in real life??

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

Review the git commit history and see if there are new features not listed above that may interest you.

/S

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

You can do as @aeharding said, or check out the links in the OP for the Matrix (and Discord I guess) servers :)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

No need to talk to people in real life. You can use another lemmy instance temporarily.

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

Where shall we all flee to in the meantime?

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

Oh thank God, I was worried there for a second.

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

Right, federation took the worst part of Reddit - going offline - and made it obsolete

The β€œworst” part…

We wanted to announce that we will be attempting to upgrade Lemmy.World to version 0.19.3 on Saturday.

I don't regularly deal with converting between timezones but I'm unable to figure out whether this upgrade is happening on Saturday or Sunday. My calendar shows March 3rd as being Sunday.

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

Sorry, I wrote that at midnight last night πŸ˜… It's Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY.

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

I'll pay for the whole seat BUT ONLY NEED THE EDGE!

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

Yeah it's Sunday. Someone hasn't had their coffee yet it seems. :-)

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

Thanks for clarifying! Hope the upgrade goes smoothly :)

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

Let's hope for a smooth upgrade and many thanks to all of you making this possible to all of us users!

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

We try because we're users like everyone else!

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

Good luck lads.

For those out of the loop, 0.19 brings nice features to Lemmy World like:

  • Unbroken ampersands (&) in titles.
  • Improved 2-factor authentication, which will disable it for those using it, so you'll want to reenable it after the upgrade. I think in turn this may sign people out, so be sure you still have your login info around, and if things are acting kinda odd, maybe clear your cache.
  • Scaled sorting to help surface smaller, less active communities.
  • Instance blocking via user settings, so if there's an instance you don't enjoy seeing communities from, you can block them. This does not block all users from said instance.
  • Import/export account settings, which includes your bio & various settings like show/hide bot accounts/NSFW content, default sort settings, etc., subbed communities, saved posts/comments, and blocked users/communities/instances.

Afaik this should also fix the linking to deleted comments, if anyone else cares.

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

I'm not familiar with that one, what was going on with it?

Thank you for the points. Sums up the upgrade nicely.

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

Scaled sorting is gonna be huge I think. Really looking forward to that

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

You can try it out on other instances right now, but really the effect it will have on Lemmy as a whole when applied to its biggest instance is the exciting thing.

Good luck - I had no trouble upgrading Feddit.dk to 0.19.3, hope you have a similar experience :)

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

Best of Luck! Really hoping this works out well so Voyager can move forward with deprecating the old auth method

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I just want to tell you both good luck.

We're all counting on you.

The Hitchhiker's Guide has been comforting me since I first discovered it in a charity shop at the age of 12.

People are truly strange, it's not just you, and the universe is more than we know. I found that comforting, and Adams' humour opened a whole new world to me :-)

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

I'm giving you 42 upvotes

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

No pressure, then πŸ˜‚.

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

Hold on to your butts...

Good luck on your updates. Thanks for all your work. Raise a glass
