[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 (@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!

Hi
Pls check how much traffic you’re now sending out for every activity - my server is recording that everything from lemmy.world is being 4 times (e.g. 1 Upvote is sent 4 times to every instance that has a subscriber. Those instances will reject 3 of them for being dupes, but it’s still a lot to be sending out).
lemmy.ca had a problem where they were sending everything 3 times, and it was because they were running 3 containers, and they all had the same index number, so maybe it’s that.
Thanks.
Thanks. This made us find out that we misconfigured it. I have now changed the configuration, hope it works.
Edit: FYI, I opened the Lemmy Matrix and see that you were already discussing the the dbzer0 admin
Hello Ruud,
Thank you for your work on LW.
Kind of hijacking this thread, but are you aware that 19 instances seem to be constantly lagging behind? https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=lemmy.world
Among them
I usually use Reddthat, but used this account to make sure that this would go through.
Slight ping to @Rooki@lemmy.world as they commented on the previous comment
Hi,
yes we noticed that, and we will look into the issue with the federation. Thanks for the reminder!
Thank you for your work!
We will look into this!

Good job all! Thanks for all your efforts!
It’s working!!!
It’s alive!
WOOOO
It looks like the front hasn’t fallen off.
Edit: context for those not aware - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM . The front section of a oil tanker fell off and it started leaking crude oil into the ocean off perth and it caught fire.
The two actors are comedians who (then) regularly did send ups of politicians in the last few minutes broadcast each week on an otherwise serious news show.
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
For those out of the loop, 0.19 brings nice features to Lemmy World like:
- Unbroken ampersands (&) in titles.
- Improved 2-factor authentication, which will disable it for those using it, so you’ll want to reenable it after the upgrade. I think in turn this may sign people out, so be sure you still have your login info around, and if things are acting kinda odd, maybe clear your cache.
- Scaled sorting to help surface less active communities.
- Instance blocking via user settings, so if there’s an instance you don’t enjoy seeing communities from, you can block them. This does not block all users from said instance.
- Import/export account settings, which includes your bio & various settings like show/hide bot accounts/NSFW content, default sort settings, etc., subbed communities, saved posts/comments, and blocked users/communities/instances.
Scaled sorting is gonna be huge I think. Really looking forward to that
You can try it out on other instances right now, but really the effect it will have on Lemmy as a whole when applied to its biggest instance is the exciting thing.
Unbroken ampersands? hallelujah
Finally instance blocking, goodbye politics
goodbye lemmynsfw, with its’ somehow constant stream of different types of kinks showing up in hot no matter how many communities I block from it 🙈
Fuck I actually hate that more than politics. The NSFW filter does not hide titles so your in a public space browsing Lemmy and you get 5 posts in a row of “Big COCK mmm yummy 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤” in big font
LMAOO EXACTLY
Afaik this should also fix the linking to deleted comments, if anyone else cares.
Unbroken ampersands? I thought it was just me! 🤡
Just there are new bugs and issues but they can be easily fixex
And at the risk of being repetitive, the ‘Prev’ button goes MIA.
Hey…I use it.
Thank you for the points. Sums up the upgrade nicely.
Users will have to login again or only those using 2-factor authentication? Thanks!
All users will have to login again, 2FA was completely reset, so people who were locked out are now back in.
Welp goodbye LiftOff. Hope it ends up getting updated in the future
Mine also stopped working. What’s the alternative?
Voyager ;)
Sync seems to work. Unless you don’t see this message then perhaps not
And sync just got an update. Posting from sync as well
Oh so that’s why it’s buggered! Bugger…
Quiblr web app updated 😇
oh, I love how that looks. Such a clean UI.
You did not know about Quiblr? The BEST web ui of them all?
You’re too kind! Your support gives me energy to keep working on Quiblr lol
I really like your ui so much
best is subjective
Agreed
Thank you! It’s been my passion side-project!
It is self hostable or is there just the site at quiblr.com?
Seems like something I would love to throw onto q.programming.dev with the other alternate UIs were running
Just the site right now. I may put it in a docker in the future so different instances can host it too! I’ll let you know!
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.
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
Kinda surprising the dev just abandoned it without a word given it was so popular. You’d think they at least announce they’re done. Wonder how long before it gets pulled from the Play Store.
Pretty sure the dev had a kid recently and had said he might not be able to get around to updates. This was a known thing to some people at least.
Thanks for all your hard work, LW team :)
Got logged out of both the browser and Sync. Logged back into both. Other than that everything seems fine.
🎉
Same here
Did sync tell you or did you have to manually log out and back in?
Not op but pretty sure it told me. Being logged out was expected behaviour IIRC.
I had a popup that my session expired. Logged back in, and all was good!
Got a popup about my session expiring.

Ah that’s good, I wrote that to handle this. Glad it worked!
Thanks for your service. I enjoy it over here. Keep on with the good stuff!
let’s goooo. golden age of lemmy here we come
Whoa, trippy. Your comments all have an orange-brown background?
edit: oh wow, mine too.
Yeah its a lemmy thing now. Every comment that is younger than 5 minutes it shows like this
Is there a way to change the color and/or transparency in the options? It’s a bit… much.
The hell?
I don’t get why comments younger than 5 minutes need highlighted in the first place…?
If you’re gonna highlight anything, it should just be new comments after a refresh, but if that highlight falls off after 5 minutes, what’s the point?
Same thought WHY. Its 10 minutes btw.
Why is this such a controvershull thing hehe
Those are “new” comments.
I’m using the darkly-compact theme. I don’t see this.
I am guessing this is why Liftoff is down?
I was able to enable my 2FA now :-)
I just want to tell you both good luck.
We’re all counting on you.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide has been comforting me since I first discovered it in a charity shop at the age of 12.
People are truly strange, it’s not just you, and the universe is more than we know. I found that comforting, and Adams’ humour opened a whole new world to me :-)
I’m giving you 42 upvotes
