[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!

I was able to enable my 2FA now :-)
Good luck on your updates. Thanks for all your work. Raise a glass
Maybe we could tune the emotion chip a bit.
Let’s hope for a smooth upgrade and many thanks to all of you making this possible to all of us users!
We try because we’re users like everyone else!
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.
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
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.
Thank you for the points. Sums up the upgrade nicely.
And at the risk of being repetitive, the ‘Prev’ button goes MIA.
Hey…I use it.
Unbroken ampersands? I thought it was just me! 🤡
Unbroken ampersands? hallelujah
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.
Just there are new bugs and issues but they can be easily fixex
Afaik this should also fix the linking to deleted comments, if anyone else cares.
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.
And eating html in code blocks
And sometimes not resolving Lemmy links
And many other broken things

We wanted to announce that we will be attempting to upgrade Lemmy.World to version 0.19.3 on Saturday.
I don’t regularly deal with converting between timezones but I’m unable to figure out whether this upgrade is happening on Saturday or Sunday. My calendar shows March 3rd as being Sunday.
Leap week.
Yeah it’s Sunday. Someone hasn’t had their coffee yet it seems. :-)
Thanks for clarifying! Hope the upgrade goes smoothly :)
Sorry, I wrote that at midnight last night 😅 It’s Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY.
I’ll pay for the whole seat BUT ONLY NEED THE EDGE!
Good luck lads.

In the event of a roll back, any data created by users will be lost, (…)
You mean to say : “any data created for these few hours” …right ? …Right ?
No, they mean any data created by users.
User data created outside those few hours? Lost.
User data on other Lemmy instances? Lost.
User data on other Fediverse platforms? Also lost.
User data on non-Fediverse platforms? Believe it or not, lost.
YES! During the upgrade window ONLY 😅. Our DR plan is pretty tight, some great DBA’s on staff. (Ex Ruud)
Except Ruud? Seems ruud
Ex. 😅
Thank you for clarifying, I was rather concerned about your processes if a rollback would lose all data hahaha
lol, was definitely how I read it as well.
What am I supposed to do with my free time in the meantime, do you expect me to talk to people in real life??
Sleep or masturbate?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
In case anyone needs a reminder
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Review the git commit history and see if there are new features not listed above that may interest you.
/S
No need to talk to people in real life. You can use another lemmy instance temporarily.
Oh thank God, I was worried there for a second.
Right, federation took the worst part of Reddit - going offline - and made it obsolete
The “worst” part…
Where shall we all flee to in the meantime?
You can do as @aeharding said, or check out the links in the OP for the Matrix (and Discord I guess) servers :)
Exciting times, best of luck with the update!
Why can’t we see the amount of upvotes and downvotes? Put it back.
removed by mod
deleted by creator
Do you still think that this is a good feature?
Oooh, excitement! 🤩
Good luck, boss.
I’m looking forward to it. I’ve actually been cutting back my Lemmy waiting for a the scaled sort. To keep my feed fresh, id been subscribed to mostly memes and I have been getting tired of it. It wiltbe nice to seey niche community getting more love from my feed at last
