This is a big release - the most interesting, probably, being local [non-federated] communities. There are a lot of other features, as well, so don’t hesitate reading the release announcement!

As a first attempt, I have made !general@lemmy.cafe a local community. This post should not federate anywhere else.

The upgrade itself was a bit rocky, and, admittedly, caused by the setup that has strayed off the official guidelines. It has, however, helped in troubleshooting countless times previously, so it’s not going away. More care will simply have to be taken next time.

For those curious - the bit that caused all the trouble was having separate users to connect to the database for each of backend, federation and tasks containers. Something changed where a new schema was created/started getting used and tasks container did not have access to said schema. As such, it could not finish the migration scripts.

As always - any financial help is greatly appreciated! To donate click the banner here or in the sidebar:
