[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.

Lemmy.World Pub

Matrix

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!

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.

[โ€“] dipper@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Liftoff hasn't been updated since July 2023, it doesn't look like this issue is getting fixed anytime soon. See https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/issues/517

You mean Imma have to get a life for a whole two hours? Maybe even more??

[โ€“] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

sh.itjust.works Managed to finish in only 27 minutes which was much sooner than the estimated time. Lemmy.world might finish quickly too, estimated time is just a maximum, it isn't always going to be the amount of time it will take.

[โ€“] Rooki@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (5 children)

It will take surely minimum 1 hour for us probably just because the database migrations and moving our automation.

Greatly appreciate the 2FA improvement! I can finally enable it now without locking myself out, which happened every time I tried to enable it previously.

However, in true Fediverse fashion, they've made it 122.6% more complicated than it needs to be. Why contain all of the relevant information in a button pointing to a highly specific protocol? I had to manually copy and paste the button's URL into Notepad++ and cut the parts I needed from it. Why not just give the secret or a QR code like literally every other implementation of 2FA that has ever existed? I've never seen such a button before on any other website when I wanted to switch on 2FA, even on Mastodon they use a QR code and/or the secret key.

And no backup codes? ๐Ÿค”

I sound like a complainy complainer, but I'm genuinely happy/grateful I could enable 2FA. I'm just a n00b who worries about people even n00bier than I am trying to figure it out.

Cheers!

Let's hope for a smooth upgrade and many thanks to all of you making this possible to all of us users!

[โ€“] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

We try because we're users like everyone else!

[โ€“] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Best of Luck! Really hoping this works out well so Voyager can move forward with deprecating the old auth method

Whoa, trippy. Your comments all have an orange-brown background?

edit: oh wow, mine too.

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.

[โ€“] GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I am guessing this is why Liftoff is down?

[โ€“] ieightpi@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I'm looking forward to it. I've actually been cutting back my Lemmy waiting for a the scaled sort. To keep my feed fresh, id been subscribed to mostly memes and I have been getting tired of it. It wiltbe nice to seey niche community getting more love from my feed at last

[โ€“] ruud@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I was able to enable my 2FA now :-)

[โ€“] LukeTS@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (3 children)

0.19 also introduced a /sitemap.xml endpoint, but it responds with a 404 on lemmy.world. ๐Ÿค”

oh man, this yellow highlight is literally the worst

[โ€“] ruud@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Someone should build a Lemmy client so we don't see that ugly colour anymore! And give it a StarTrekkie name!

;-)

Posts removed by a mod and by creator is still showing up. Before the update, they would disappear from the feed.
