[Update - March 3rd 2024 , 21:14 CET]
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!

Yaaaay
Are there any big instances still on the old versions then?
Also if anyone has issues, try logging out and back in. It was required when we moved, and not all apps indicate that you need to do that.
It’s because 0.19 changed some authentication thing. It won’t always be necessary
Only ones left on the 0.18 versions are beehaw and blahaj
Blahaj has plans to update before Voyager stops supporting 0.18. I don’t remember the exact date, but it’s sometime in March.
