This weekend I'll be working to upgrade AZ to lemmy 0.19.4, which requires changes to some other back end supporting systems.
Expect occasional errors/slowdowns, broken images etc.
Once complete, I'll be making further changes to enable/tweak some of the new features.
UPDATE: one of the back end component upgrades requires dumping and reimporting the entire lemmy database. This will require ~1 hour of total downtime for the site. I expect this to kick off tonight ~9pm Perth time.
UPDATE2: DB dump/re-import going to happen ~6pm Perth time, ie about 10 minutes from this edit.
UPDATGE3: we're back after the postgres upgrade. Next will be a brief outage for the lemmy upgrade itself... after I've had dinner ๐
UPDATE34: We're on lemmy 0.19.4 now. I'll be looking at new features/settings and playing around with them.
The proxy thing seems to be working most alright, however I have noticed a couple of occasions where images aren't loading, and trying to open them in my browser results in a "429 - too many requests" error. I haven't been DoSing AZ, so I'm guessing this is an issue with the proxy exceeding Imgur rate limits?

I did see mentioned of imgur being one site that has issues with the new feature. Will see where I can find that and look for a solution... I had assumed it would revert to previous behavior id proxy fails.. my mistake for assuming.
