[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 (@LemmyWorld@mastodon.world) - 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!

Exciting times, best of luck with the update!
Oooh, excitement! 🤩
What is the status regarding 0.19.5?
Good luck on your updates. Thanks for all your work. Raise a glass
oh man, this yellow highlight is literally the worst
Someone should build a Lemmy client so we don’t see that ugly colour anymore! And give it a StarTrekkie name!
;-)
I was able to enable my 2FA now :-)
Woooooo!
It looks like the front hasn’t fallen off.
Edit: context for those not aware - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM . The front section of a oil tanker fell off and it started leaking crude oil into the ocean off perth and it caught fire.
The two actors are comedians who (then) regularly did send ups of politicians in the last few minutes broadcast each week on an otherwise serious news show.
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
Let’s go!
I had to logout and login again on Boost for Lemmy because I was getting HTTP 401 when I tried to comment. But now it works 👍
I am guessing this is why Liftoff is down?
You mean Imma have to get a life for a whole two hours? Maybe even more??
It’s tragic, I have nowhere else to go for that long. And the alternative is to socialize? 😥 I’d rather have a third wank.
You could completely fuck up your sleep schedule so that you’re sure to be sleeping during the update.
Would only be a couple extra hours for me since my schedule is already so fucked. I’m considering it.
But where do you find the material for that?
Create an alt account on another instance.
sh.itjust.works Managed to finish in only 27 minutes which was much sooner than the estimated time. Lemmy.world might finish quickly too, estimated time is just a maximum, it isn’t always going to be the amount of time it will take.
It will take surely minimum 1 hour for us probably just because the database migrations and moving our automation.
I guess that makes sense considering just how much bigger Lemmy.world is. Bigger instances are bound to take longer to update.
Would you be open to changing who hosts your servers?
source: https://xkcd.com/821/Yes narnia, would be perfect place to host server stuff XD
Maybe, but you would be billed about 4.5 years for every month you rent a server
Its literally a quantum computer with extra costs XD
Whoa, trippy. Your comments all have an orange-brown background?
edit: oh wow, mine too.
I’m using the darkly-compact theme. I don’t see this.
Yeah its a lemmy thing now. Every comment that is younger than 5 minutes it shows like this
Is there a way to change the color and/or transparency in the options? It’s a bit… much.
The hell?
I don’t get why comments younger than 5 minutes need highlighted in the first place…?
If you’re gonna highlight anything, it should just be new comments after a refresh, but if that highlight falls off after 5 minutes, what’s the point?
Same thought WHY. Its 10 minutes btw.
Why is this such a controvershull thing hehe
Those are “new” comments.
Looks like it worked!! Congratulations!!!
YES
Good job all! Thanks for all your efforts!
