[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 (@LemmyWorld@mastodon.world) - 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!

Was this really the best way to present this?
It is an ENORMOUS downside for people who have a large inbox. Like, fucking severe. So yes. I think that it was in order to demonstrate the absolute absurdity of it. I mean, the admin didn’t seem to bothered either given he agreed…
There are better ways of alerting them of that problem than that rant. You’re talking like they deliberately slighted you.
No, you’re projecting this as me talking about the admins. I’m not. The admins didn’t create the update. They merely applied it. My rant of frustration is for the Lemmy devs, not for the admins. Probably why the Admin said “We hate it too” and agreed on that front.
Doesn’t matter who you’re talking about, my comment is equally valid no matter who you directed your tirade at. Do you think the developers did that as a personal attack on you? Just report the bug in a civilized way! There’s no need for attitude.
Edit: And if you think the devs won’t see that, it’s pretty likely they’re checking the comments in the upgrade notification of the largest Lemmy instance in existence.
I don’t really care what you have to say here. You’ve ignored everything I’ve said to try and apply your own bullshit to it and say “be more polite”. This isn’t your world. We don’t have to follow what you believe to be the kindest and most polite way to do something. I didn’t react like it was a personal attack against me, I reacted with frustration. You are the one who actively projected this as an attack against the admins or developers. You are wrong.
I do not care what else you have to say about this topic. Your opinion doesn’t matter to me, especially when you act based off of it without ever asking for clarification. Your opinion doesn’t get to force me to phrase things in a certain way. Your opinion doesn’t give you the moral highground to lecture me on how to voice my frustration with a bullshit update so bad that even multiple admins from multiple instances behind the scenes are calling this a fucking disaster.
The internet will not fit to your own personal tastes, preferences, and sensibilities. Cope.
Everyone reading this thread already knows you’re an asshole, dude. No need to expand upon it.
Like I said. The opinion of someone who is projecting what they think as fact? Doesn’t matter to me.
Get blocked.
Love you too 😘
