[Update] Version 0.19 Upgrade - Done!

[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.

Lemmy.World Pub

Matrix

Please follow @LemmyWorld for updates.

As usual, status can be tracked by visiting dash.lemmy.world and status.lemmy.world

Thanks for your patience in waiting for us. Stability is king for us!

Commenting from the latest version of Jerboa.

As far as I can tell so far the update went well. I was a little disappointed that I had to log back in again, old login token expired or whatever, but totally understandable.

DelvianSeek,

Congratulations and good work! Thanks for all your efforts.

ladicius,

Thanks for your service. I enjoy it over here. Keep on with the good stuff!

Thanks! I fucking hate it!

I post a lot and chat with a decent amount of people. Because of this I’ve regularly got 20-30+ messages in my inbox. It was bad enough that if I click upvote while typing that it would have deleted my entire message and make me start over. That’s fine. I can get over that. I can just rewire around that and just wait or cut the text before doing anything. What’s driving me fucking insane now is that instead of being able to mark messages as read and refreshing the page manually, the page refreshes automatically after marking every message as read. I have no idea who the hell thought that would be a good idea but it’s idiotic. I either have to mark everything read all at once or suffer through a refresh every single time I mark a message as read.

The other features and what not I’m sure are great but that is such an enormous downside for me that I’ve barely bothered looking at anything else. Just get frustrated with waiting for a refresh after every message and just going to YouTube or playing a game instead. I’m going to end up just using Boost exclusively for messages, something that just got leaps and bounds better due to threading messages.

Serinus,

Was this really the best way to present this?

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

It is an ENORMOUS downside for people who have a large inbox. Like, fucking severe. So yes. I think that it was in order to demonstrate the absolute absurdity of it. I mean, the admin didn’t seem to bothered either given he agreed…

bus_factor,

There are better ways of alerting them of that problem than that rant. You’re talking like they deliberately slighted you.

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

No, you’re projecting this as me talking about the admins. I’m not. The admins didn’t create the update. They merely applied it. My rant of frustration is for the Lemmy devs, not for the admins. Probably why the Admin said “We hate it too” and agreed on that front.

bus_factor, (edited )

Doesn’t matter who you’re talking about, my comment is equally valid no matter who you directed your tirade at. Do you think the developers did that as a personal attack on you? Just report the bug in a civilized way! There’s no need for attitude.

Edit: And if you think the devs won’t see that, it’s pretty likely they’re checking the comments in the upgrade notification of the largest Lemmy instance in existence.

Stamets, (edited )

I don’t really care what you have to say here. You’ve ignored everything I’ve said to try and apply your own bullshit to it and say “be more polite”. This isn’t your world. We don’t have to follow what you believe to be the kindest and most polite way to do something. I didn’t react like it was a personal attack against me, I reacted with frustration. You are the one who actively projected this as an attack against the admins or developers. You are wrong.

I do not care what else you have to say about this topic. Your opinion doesn’t matter to me, especially when you act based off of it without ever asking for clarification. Your opinion doesn’t get to force me to phrase things in a certain way. Your opinion doesn’t give you the moral highground to lecture me on how to voice my frustration with a bullshit update so bad that even multiple admins from multiple instances behind the scenes are calling this a fucking disaster.

The internet will not fit to your own personal tastes, preferences, and sensibilities. Cope.

bus_factor,

Everyone reading this thread already knows you’re an asshole, dude. No need to expand upon it.

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

Like I said. The opinion of someone who is projecting what they think as fact? Doesn’t matter to me.

Get blocked.

bus_factor,

Love you too 😘

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Thats true. We hate it too. We suggest you to use photon or any other alternative ui. p.lemmy.world

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

Oh thank god. If the problem doesn’t persist with the A or P then I’m solid.

over_clox,

You got my upvote for constructive criticism.

Bwaz,

Took me about half hour to get logged back on!! The damn Android system blocked the button I needed to paste the absurdly complex password onto the form. Wish you coild do changes without making people log back on!

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Sadly, this would never have worked, because we needed to shutdown the backend and it had very large changes to it too.

It may be an issue with the app Memmy, but I now have a score of zero, not three thousand. It’s not a huge issue at all, just something I noticed.

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Those “scores” were just “accidentally” a feature, removed after 0.19

z00s,

Thanks for all your hard work, LW team :)

Test recieved!

tburkhol,

On the login page, if your existing password is less than 10 characters, the password-validation script will not let you log in.

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

I would recommend then to try “forget password”

@dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world avatar

Welp goodbye LiftOff. Hope it ends up getting updated in the future

TheBat,
@TheBat@lemmy.world avatar

Mine also stopped working. What’s the alternative?

cheese_greater,

Voyager ;)

Coaster45,

Sync seems to work. Unless you don’t see this message then perhaps not

gingernate,

And sync just got an update. Posting from sync as well

SonnyVabitch,

Oh so that’s why it’s buggered! Bugger…

Quiblr web app updated 😇

Thekingoflorda,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

oh, I love how that looks. Such a clean UI.

Rooki, (edited )
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

You did not know about Quiblr? The BEST web ui of them all?

Aurelius,
@Aurelius@lemmy.world avatar

You’re too kind! Your support gives me energy to keep working on Quiblr lol

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

I really like your ui so much

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

best is subjective

The_wild_card,

Agreed

Aurelius,
@Aurelius@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you! It’s been my passion side-project!

Ategon, (edited )
@Ategon@programming.dev avatar

It is self hostable or is there just the site at quiblr.com?

Seems like something I would love to throw onto q.programming.dev with the other alternate UIs were running

Aurelius,
@Aurelius@lemmy.world avatar

Just the site right now. I may put it in a docker in the future so different instances can host it too! I’ll let you know!

Astrealix,
@Astrealix@lemmy.world avatar

Did tagging people break with the update? When I type @ nothing shows up.

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

@Astrealix no, it works for me. Do you use a app?

Astrealix,
@Astrealix@lemmy.world avatar

Using the website on my mac, on chrome. Weird.

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Hmmm really weird. But thanks for reporting it! We will investigate why it doesnt work.

freamon,

Hi

Pls check how much traffic you’re now sending out for every activity - my server is recording that everything from lemmy.world is being 4 times (e.g. 1 Upvote is sent 4 times to every instance that has a subscriber. Those instances will reject 3 of them for being dupes, but it’s still a lot to be sending out).

lemmy.ca had a problem where they were sending everything 3 times, and it was because they were running 3 containers, and they all had the same index number, so maybe it’s that.

Thanks.

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

We will look into this!

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks. This made us find out that we misconfigured it. I have now changed the configuration, hope it works.

Bl4ze, (edited )

Edit: FYI, I opened the Lemmy Matrix and see that you were already discussing the the dbzer0 admin

Hello Ruud,

Thank you for your work on LW.

Kind of hijacking this thread, but are you aware that 19 instances seem to be constantly lagging behind? phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?do…

Among them

  • lemmy.dbzer0.com
  • lemmy.sdfeu.org
  • reddthat.com
  • lemmy.nz
  • lemdro.id
  • slrpnk.net

I usually use Reddthat, but used this account to make sure that this would go through.

Slight ping to @Rooki as they commented on the previous comment

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Hi,

yes we noticed that, and we will look into the issue with the federation. Thanks for the reminder!

Bl4ze,

Thank you for your work!

_number8_,

let’s goooo. golden age of lemmy here we come

Posts removed by a mod and by creator is still showing up. Before the update, they would disappear from the feed.

aeharding,
@aeharding@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah thats good though, it means that if someone deletes their comment (or is removed by mod) the rest of the comment tree isn’t nuked along with it.

Lemmy could probably hide leaf node comments tho

hal_5700X,
