Service may be interrupted from 6:00 UTC (~7 hours from now) due to planned updates to both the Lemmy and image service back-ends. As this is a major update for both, with each requiring database refactoring, anticipated downtime is up to two hours (but hopefully less).

If Lemmy is still up during the above period but you notice images aren’t being served or uploads are failing, it is be due to the image service being down for the update.

I’ll comment here once the updates are complete.

    We’re back up and running - now on v0.19.2 of Lemmy. This major version bump introduces new features like user-level instance blocking and a new scaled sort algorithm.

    The image service back-end upgrade is partially complete. I anticipate another short period of downtime in the next week or two to complete the required changes.

    As with any major changes to the back-end, I recommend clearing your site data and logging back in.

    I can also see that some changes to the Lemmy UI code may have degraded the Leminal Space theme. I hope to have these issues cleaned up over the next couple of days.
