April is here and we’re still enjoying our little corner of the lemmy-verse! This post is quite late for our April announcement as my chocolate coma has only now subsided...

Basically, I’m sick of these network problems, and I’m sure you are too. We’ll be migrating everything: pictrs, frontends & backends, database & webservers all to 1 single server in OVH....

In the past 24-48 hours we’ve done a lot of work as you may have noticed, but you might be wondering why there are posts and comments with 0 upvotes....

There was a period on an hour where we migrated our database to it’s own server in the same data centre....

Our server rebooted and unfortunately I had not saved our new firewall rules. This blocked all Lemmy services from accessing our databases....

Edited: this post to be the Lemmy.World federation issue post....

Recently beehaw has been hung out to dry with Open Collective dissolving their Foundation which was their hosted collective. Basically, the company that was holding onto all of beehaw’s money, will no longer accept donations, and will close. You can read more in their alarmingly titled post: EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT: Open...

Just got the server back up into a working state, still investigating why it decided to kill itself....

Unfortunately we had a Valentine’s Day outage of around 2 hours....

Happy leap year! February comes with a fun 29th day? What will we do with the extra 24 hours? Sorry I missed the January update but I was too busy living the dream in cyberspace....

We’ve finally updated to 0.19 after some serious wrangling with the database migrations....

Hello Everyone, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year period where we’ve decided as a human race to stop working and start enjoying spending copious amounts of money on loved ones, items for ourselves, or just relishing the time to relax and recuperate....

Hello Reddthat,...

Update: 2023/09/02:...

The things that I do while I’m meant to be sleeping is apparently break Reddthat! Sorry folks. Here’s a postmortem on the issue....

New UI Alternatives...

Hey Reddthat,...

Unfortunately we had an issue updating to the latest version of Lemmy. This caused database corruption and we had to roll back to a backup that was unfortunately from 2 days ago!...

Finally a user interface that fills your whole browser! As well as other bug fixes and federation fixes as well....

Hello Reddthatians, Reddthians, reddies? 🤷 Everyone!...

This is terribly hard to write. If you flushed your cache right now you would see all the newest posts without images. These are now 404s, even thought the images exist. In 2 hours everyone will see this. Unfortunately there is no going back, recovering the key store for all the “new” images....

Welcome to everyone joining up so far!...

So for those of you who were refreshing the page and looking at our wonderful maintenance page it took way longer than we planned! A full write up I’ll do after I’ve dealt with a couple time out issues....
