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!

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 ?

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

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

No, they mean any data created by users.

User data created outside those few hours? Lost.

User data on other Lemmy instances? Lost.

User data on other Fediverse platforms? Also lost.

User data on non-Fediverse platforms? Believe it or not, lost.
