Hey folks!

Lemmy 0.19 was released this week! It brings a bunch of awesome new features, so I hope you are all willing to forgive some downtime in order to upgrade to this latest version.

Unfortunately some migration will be necessary as part of this upgrade, so it might take a while, but I will try to keep it as short as possible.

I hope you are all having a great holiday period, and I will see you soon in 0.19!

Edit: Update complete!

Welcome to 0.19! Unfortunately, the upgrade took somewhat longer than usual, but I believe everything is in order now. As always, please let me know if you notice anything strange, and have fun!

    It’s well worth some downtime, Lemmy 0.19 is a major QoL upgrade. Thanks for giving us some advanced notice though!

    Using relative time to display timezone-agnostic date is brilliant lol

        Yep, lemm.ee doesn’t defederate so aggressively. This isn’t in support of tankie groups though, if anything it’s in spite of feelings towards hexbear.

    Thank you, man! I was curious about your absence in the last 2-3 months, but figured there is not really much to do until the BIG upgrade. Thanks for being here, being you! Awesome admin, awesome instance! Thanks for all your work!

    FYI, if anyone had 2fa it will be disabled after this upgrade and you’ll have to do it again.

    Keep calm and lemm.ee on.

    Time for another donation!

    Question: will this affect our ability to upload pictures?

    PSA For lemm.ee users who cannot sign in and are getting messages similar to “logged in (green)” “incorrect credentials (red)” back to back when trying to sign in:

    • Clear your browsers cache for lemm.ee
    • Try to sign in again

    Not sure if this is widespread but it worked for me.

      I had to log out and back into the Memmy app.

      Well, the update came out on Friday so that tracks. Besides, this update comes with a whole db shake up (took about 30min on my one user instance) so it makes sense to do it over the week end.

    Since the upgrade to v19 I’ve noticed the all applications and web site seem to be very very slow to initially launch and return subscription and user info.

    This is happening in both Voyager app, Thunder, web site default and web alexandrite.

    Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
