Hello,

we will be performing the long awaited update to Lemmy 0.19.9 tomorrow.

We are planning for around 1 hour of downtime between 16:00-17:00 UTC on 16th of March.

You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2025-03-16T16%3A00%3A00.000Z

You can find an overview of the changes in our previous announcement here and in the Lemmy release notes:


Update 16:50 UTC:

The upgrade was successfully completed at around 16:27 UTC, but we’re still fighting with some performance issues after the upgrade. Our database and the outbound federation container are currently using significantly higher CPU than expected, which is still being investigated to identify the root cause.

    I hear ya, it wast a trip up for me necessarily, I just okayed thru it and it all worked somehow (basically I’m big dumb yes man and it worked out, lol), but i def recall the sign up was more involved due to those extra steps. A potential solution i can see happening is maybe a top youtuber like Linus or MKBHD could ease the pain of onboarding by making a digestible video that effectively goes viral due to their reach. Much like Linus vids on quitting windows for Linux or ditching Google services.
