Lemmy.ml v0.19 upgrade issues and downtime. (lemmy.ml)

In anticipation of Lemmy's upcoming 0.19 release, and to work out any final issues, we're going to deploy a test release on lemmy.ml within the next few days.

We're doing this testing on lemmy.ml only, so that we can encounter any issues before the release, and to make sure the upgrade process is smooth for other production servers.

Some of the following will happen during the process:

Apps will likely break (only for lemmy.ml)
Lemmy.ml may experience some downtime for the upgrade to complete (ideally no more than an hour).
If anything goes wrong, we may have to restore from a database backup, meaning content made in between backups may be lost.

If all goes well, we'll have an official announcement for the release after this testing period.

I apologize for the difficulties this might cause. At most this will be a week of hair-pulling, but its vital that we catch any issues before telling other servers to upgrade.

Removed by mod? This really is a revolutionary new feature.

Naming other instances (especially those two instances) is illegal now I guess 🤣

But I am pretty sure everyone knows what "those two" instances are, anyways.

Blatant displays of anticommunism are not allowed on lemmy ml

It's the bare minimum they do to ensure it doesn't just become another nazi bar instance.

If those two instances are seen as problematic by the mods of an official community I wonder why lemmy.ml is not defederated from them. lemmy.ml is defederated from so many weird/extremist instances, why not from those two?

But this is the announcement community, we should not discuss this here since it's off topic.

ml is basically the omni-instance, the only places it's defederated from are those which outright should not exist on the federation. I'm talking unmoderated, hate speech galore, and CSAM posted on the daily. The only thing ml defederates from outside that are porn instances. I joined a NSFW instance and tbh not missing out on much, it's mostly commercial spam and a lot of... questionable stuff.
