With the release of Lemmy version 0.19.4 we’ll look to upgrade ASAP (unless any issues pop up between now and then).
There is a DB upgrade so definitely going to be significant downtime during this window.
Please keep an eye on status.lemmy.zip during this time.
I would say there’s a good focus on fixes, with lots of features to help moderate and some QoL additions. There’s a full list of additions and changes here: https://lemmy.zip/post/16924449
I wouldn’t say for the end-user there is an immediate change to anything, however these changes all add up to a better experience overall.
