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 (@[email protected]) - 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!

For those out of the loop, 0.19 brings nice features to Lemmy World like:

Unbroken ampersands (&) in titles.
Improved 2-factor authentication, which will disable it for those using it, so you'll want to reenable it after the upgrade. I think in turn this may sign people out, so be sure you still have your login info around, and if things are acting kinda odd, maybe clear your cache.
Scaled sorting to help surface less active communities.
Instance blocking via user settings, so if there's an instance you don't enjoy seeing communities from, you can block them. This does not block all users from said instance.
Import/export account settings, which includes your bio & various settings like show/hide bot accounts/NSFW content, default sort settings, etc., subbed communities, saved posts/comments, and blocked users/communities/instances.

Finally instance blocking, goodbye politics

goodbye lemmynsfw, with its' somehow constant stream of different types of kinks showing up in hot no matter how many communities I block from it 🙈

[–] dylanTheDeveloper 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fuck I actually hate that more than politics. The NSFW filter does not hide titles so your in a public space browsing Lemmy and you get 5 posts in a row of "Big COCK mmm yummy 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤" in big font

LMAOO EXACTLY
