[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!

Afaik this should also fix the linking to deleted comments, if anyone else cares.
And eating html in code blocks
And sometimes not resolving Lemmy links
And many other broken things
I’m not familiar with that one, what was going on with it?
Basically you can’t link to a deleted comment, and deleted comments don’t show up at all in threads. There’s also a bug where a comment that has a deleted reply shows as having “(x) more replies” hidden under them, but clicking it just endlessly loads.
If I’m not mistaken in 0.19.x they show up as “removed comment” and you can actually link to them and/or see eventual replies to them.
