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.

    No it won’t. That’s the next major release, this is just LW catching up.

      partial breakage, the stuff that people on other instances have already been experiencing for a while.

      iirc there are still some additional issues with sync arising with the update, but it won’t be entirely broken.

        I’m a sync user and haven’t had any issues, what breakage are you referring to?

            Biggest problem for me is that posts no longer show as read. Makes it almost completely unusable. I switched to Voyager and canceled my premium Sync subscription.

            Well damn. The comments for me are not so rarely even more important/interesting than the post itself…

        For me Sync has been broken since long ago (proud Summit user now), my instance has always been updated faster than .world though, so I can’t really pinpoint since which version I started having issues with it.
