EDIT: The update is done - Lemmy Host now running 0.18.5
This is a short post to inform you that we will be updating Lemmy World to the latest stable release of Lemmy. This is small update that fixes issues with federation of moderation actions performed by admin accounts. There is a bigger update, v0.19.0, just around the corner but the developers wanted to get this federation issue fixed as soon as possible.
The server will be updated at 1700 UTC - if you want to know when that is in your timezone you can click here.
Since this is a small update, it shouldn’t take long. Downtime should be minimal. Please feel free to check both https://status.lemmy.world and https://dash.lemmy.world before and during the upgrade.
Lemmy is more stable now compared to a month ago. This is the growth that matters, not user counts. Thank you devs for the hard work.
Seriously, guys, who doesn’t know CEST = Certainly Eastern Standard Time?!
Good luck!
imagine not being in CEST time 🤮
In CEST time
No thanks
Good ole central eastern southern time
Saarland time
It’s a family affair… 🎵🎶

The only true time is GMT, all hail the ball
I think you mean UTC
How difficult is it to apply these updates?
I was thinking of setting up a personal Lemmy instance, but the idea of getting it all set up and working, and then an update breaking things and my not having the advanced skill to fix it, worries me >.<
We need something more simple compatible with Lemmy for hobbyists and for those who don’t want to be all day setting up things every time.
I also was thinking about my own personal instance, because I want to see everything federated and then choose what I don’t want to see, but everybody’s tutorial is different.
Man, I miss the good ol’ times with “upload via FTP, run the “install.ext” file in a browser, setup database credentials and then you have it”.
Fediverse needs single-user applications.
It depends on your setup and the nature of the updates.
This update is small. If you are using docker/compose, you’ll have to do nothing but update the version number of the image.
Large updates sometimes have database migrations that take a long time.
Once in the past, there has been an update that raised the minimum supported Postgres version which was the most tedious. But cases like this are rare.
FYI for anyone wondering, CEST is two hours ahead of UTC so unless I’m mistaken this upgrade will happen at 1700 UTC.
I mean the link is right in the announcement, you click it and it shows you the time in your timezone :D
Yeah but UTC is easier. I know I’m UTC-4 at the moment (stupid DST).
That said, thanks for all you do! I’m sure running this Lemmy instance can’t be easy!!
Yeah I realized that right after I commented, whoops
Big or small the work is noted, respected and apricated!
Apricoted* FTFY
I’ll be sleeping then luckily
Will there be notifications this time?
You mean like some kind of announcement thread in the announcement community announcing a date and time for the update, hours before? That is a good idea I’ll run it over with the other admins!
No, I mean push notifications.
