PSA - Lemmy dropped 0.19, your instance may have some downtime

Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 222 points –

Please, before posting, we've seen a lot of these post saying X instance is down right now, or "is X instance down?". The answer is probably, but it's probably because Lemmy v0.19 dropped and it includes some downtime, upwards of an hour for all the migrations to finish.

Please, hold off on asking/posting for an hour or so. Your sysadmins are waiting for it to come back online.

I pitty the poor, volunteer admins facing clueless users dealing with downtime. "You said it'd only be an hour! WHAT'S GOING ON!?!?"

It's even worse for me. I'm a poor clueless volunteer admin and the only user on my instance.

At least if you break something it's just you who you have to deal with.
