[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.
Please follow Lemmy.World (@[email protected]) - 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!

What am I supposed to do with my free time in the meantime, do you expect me to talk to people in real life??
No need to talk to people in real life. You can use another lemmy instance temporarily.
Oh thank God, I was worried there for a second.
Right, federation took the worst part of Reddit - going offline - and made it obsolete
The “worst” part…
Where shall we all flee to in the meantime?
Sleep or masturbate?

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
You can do as @aeharding said, or check out the links in the OP for the Matrix (and Discord I guess) servers :)
