Update The upgrade was done, DB migrations took around 5 minutes. We’ll keep an eye out for (new) issues but for now it seems to be OK.

Original message We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ““Edit”” I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we’re still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)

    Will calckey.world be renamed as well, as upstream abandoned the calckey name?

      Not renamed. A new server will be started where ppl can migrate to. Yet to determine a new name as firefish.world is taken…

      I’m curious about this as well. I’ve looked into Firefish a bit and it looks interesting, but I can’t seem to follow Lemmy communities from the flagship instance Firefish.Social.

      Works on calckey.world, though.

        Calckey.world also runs Firefish 1.0

          Firefish.social was upgraded to 1.0.something yesterday I believe. Maybe something broke? On Firefish.Social trying to follow a Lemmy community ends up in just an endless spinning wheel and “processing” while it works normally on calckey.world.

          Curious.

            Good to know, I’ll skip this update for now…

              Where is the best place to report this to the Devs? I don’t have a GitHub account.

                I’m in contact with him, I’ll let him know.
