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)

    Minor suggestion: write your time zones like UTC+2 and not CEST. I’m pretty sure most people outside Europe don’t know what the time zone CEST is. Yes, you provided a link that helpfully converts the time to the users’ local time zone, but sometimes it’s nicer to be able to know something without having to click into a link.

        Wow, you actually changed it! I was kind of shocked when I came back to my feed seeing UTC+2 in the title. Thanks! :D

          Yep, I like good tips like these. :-) Thanks

            Super nitpick. Can we just use 1800 utc? Then everyone can convert to their zone directly. *signed me in a CEST zone.

              I keep one of my spare clocks set to UTC for exactly this.

              yeh, the actual utc time is much more straightforward than +2

      it would be nice if Lemmy had support for formatting Unix timestamps in whatever timezone whoever is looking at it is in, like discord
