Version 0.19 Upgrade (2024-03-03 1900 UTC) - Lemmy.World

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. Lemmy.World Pub [https://discord.gg/lemmyworld] Matrix [https://matrix.to/#/#general:lemmy.world] Please follow Lemmy.World (@[email protected]) - Mastodon [https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld] for updates.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide has been comforting me since I first discovered it in a charity shop at the age of 12.

People are truly strange, it’s not just you, and the universe is more than we know. I found that comforting, and Adams’ humour opened a whole new world to me :-)

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 smaller, 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.
Show threadTheSpookiestUserFeb 28, 2024
Scaled sorting is gonna be huge I think. Really looking forward to that
Show threaddeweydecibelFeb 28, 2024
You can try it out on other instances right now, but really the effect it will have on Lemmy as a whole when applied to its biggest instance is the exciting thing.
Show threadFake4000Feb 28, 2024
Thank you for the points. Sums up the upgrade nicely.
Show threaddylanTheDeveloperFeb 29, 2024
Finally instance blocking, goodbye politics
Show threadBappityMar 5, 2024
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 🙈
Show threaddylanTheDeveloperMar 5, 2024
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
Show threadBappityMar 5, 2024
LMAOO EXACTLY
Show threadSyrcFeb 29, 2024
Afaik this should also fix the linking to deleted comments, if anyone else cares.
Show threadElectroVagrantFeb 29, 2024
I’m not familiar with that one, what was going on with it?
Show threadSyrcFeb 29, 2024

Basically you can’t link to a deleted comment, and deleted comments don’t show up at all in threads. There’s also a bug where a comment that has a deleted reply shows as having “(x) more replies” hidden under them, but clicking it just endlessly loads.

If I’m not mistaken in 0.19.x they show up as “removed comment” and you can actually link to them and/or see eventual replies to them.

And sometimes not resolving Lemmy links

And many other broken things

We wanted to announce that we will be attempting to upgrade Lemmy.World to version 0.19.3 on Saturday.

I don’t regularly deal with converting between timezones but I’m unable to figure out whether this upgrade is happening on Saturday or Sunday. My calendar shows March 3rd as being Sunday.

Yeah it’s Sunday. Someone hasn’t had their coffee yet it seems. :-)

No need to talk to people in real life. You can use another lemmy instance temporarily.

In the event of a roll back, any data created by users will be lost, (…)

You mean to say : “any data created for these few hours” …right ? …Right ?

YES! During the upgrade window ONLY 😅. Our DR plan is pretty tight, some great DBA’s on staff. (Ex Ruud)

lol, was definitely how I read it as well.
Show threadthreelonmusketeersFeb 29, 2024

No, they mean any data created by users.

User data created outside those few hours? Lost.

User data on other Lemmy instances? Lost.

User data on other Fediverse platforms? Also lost.

User data on non-Fediverse platforms? Believe it or not, lost.
