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.

I just want to tell you both good luck.

We're all counting on you.

If this doesn’t go well I’ll be pursuing a refund.

Hi

Pls check how much traffic you're now sending out for every activity - my server is recording that everything from lemmy.world is being 4 times (e.g. 1 Upvote is sent 4 times to every instance that has a subscriber. Those instances will reject 3 of them for being dupes, but it's still a lot to be sending out).

lemmy.ca had a problem where they were sending everything 3 times, and it was because they were running 3 containers, and they all had the same index number, so maybe it's that.

Thanks.

What am I supposed to do with my free time in the meantime, do you expect me to talk to people in real life??

Hold on to your butts...

Good luck on your updates. Thanks for all your work. Raise a glass

YES

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 ?

Good luck - I had no trouble upgrading Feddit.dk to 0.19.3, hope you have a similar experience :)

It looks like the front hasn't fallen off.

Edit: context for those not aware - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM . The front section of a oil tanker fell off and it started leaking crude oil into the ocean off perth and it caught fire.

The two actors are comedians who (then) regularly did send ups of politicians in the last few minutes broadcast each week on an otherwise serious news show.

Welp goodbye LiftOff. Hope it ends up getting updated in the future

Best of luck and thank you for everything you do!

I'm curious about lemmy.world server upgrades. How do you test something like this? Do you upgrade a private staging server and run scripts that simulate user interaction at scale, or is it more like "fuck it, v.73.9.0.367.12.42.0.9 looks safe enough, just deploy it on production"? I'm trying to think of how you would handle any kind of maintenence for something as massive as lemmy.world, and it makes my brain hurt. Frick.

Best of luck with the upgrade tomorrow, gang!

Good luck, boss.

Got logged out of both the browser and Sync. Logged back into both. Other than that everything seems fine.

Liftoff is dead because of this right? It is for me at least.

Oh well, voyager seems cool so maybe it's a win I was forced to try it.
