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.

Do you think you guys could do a post on the underlying hardware/infrastructure of .world? I would love to see what it takes to run the largest Lemmy instance lmao

[–] MrKaplan@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

in short form, we have HAproxy running on a hetzner cloud VM for Lemmy/Lemmy-UI, another HAproxy VM for the alt UIs, a VM for the alt UIs.

for the main LW box, which runs lemmy containers, lemmy-ui, pictrs and a database each for lemmy and pictrs, we have a physical box with an EPYC 7502P 32 core CPU, 128GB memory and NVMe SSDs.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Huh interesting thanks! I'm pleasantly surprised at how little the "cloud" is part of it.

Thought for sure it would be some flavor of cloud with a whole bunch of VMs or something like Kubernetes for scalability lol

I can sort the comments [ new/old etc] now! ( Jerboa).

Are the comment upvote and downvote numbers gone intentionally?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

There are now settings to display or hide them

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's cool, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I have all on in my settings:

But the numbers don't show:

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Apparently they’re next to the timestamp now (you can see the β€œβ†‘ 4” on your screenshot, and if you sort this post’s comments by Best, the Futurama meme shows as β€œβ†‘ 87 ↓ 1”)

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Don't feel bad. I had that exact same back and forth with myself.

I was also half asleep, high, and pooping, and I still figured it out on my own......so maybe feel a LITTLE bit bad.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Congratulations.

I find the new spot for the numbers a bit wierd, because they end up in different places according to the lenght of the username and other info like instance name.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Yes, I REALLY hated that at first.

Whereas now... I still do:-).

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I might be a bit confused, but I just went to my settings to see, and both "show upvotes" and "show downvotes" were ticked already, by default. I refreshed the page (Ctr+Shift+R), and it's still the same.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

(Copying from my other comment)

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Aaaah, I get it now, thanks! I did see the β€œβ†‘ 4” bits everywhere, but it turns out that every single comment I have looked at had 0 downvotes, and then instead of going ”↓ 0”, it just simply doesn't display downvotes. I thought I was going mad.

I liked the previous implementation, though. To me it seemed more clear.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

I vastly preferred the old way as well - you are not alone.

Nice addπŸ‘Œ

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Finally, the ability to view (and delete!) your own uploads.

FYI, the sorting on the uploads tab is broken. Obviously I don't expect sorting by "top" or "controversial" or whatever to work, but sorting by "old" doesn't, either. It's always sorted by newest first. But at least it's something. (I know for sure I have images uploaded that were not used in posts.)

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I directly noticed that the background color got brighter and looked in this community to see whether a post like this got published. I mean, congrats on the new update I guess but I liked the darker dark mode more πŸ˜”

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

I recall thinking that as well, but fwiw you do get used to it and it's extremely minor.

The fact that up and downvote counts sometimes appear on the left and otherwise on the right you never get used to though - I hate it.

URL Blocking, at last. Now I can block all those AI shit websites on my communities :D

And being able to comment on locked post, what a nice QoL enhancement :D

URL Blocking, at last. Now I can block all those AI shit websites on my communities :D

Huh? How? I don't see anything about this in the six linked changelogs.

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

In 0.19.4, section "Moderation enhancements"

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

In 0.19.4, section β€œModeration enhancements”

But this is about admins being able to block URLs, not about mods of communities.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

PieFed and Mbin both allow you to block URLs, like of a particular news source that you don't want. At a guess, the Sync and Connect Lemmy apps may do likewise (but I don't truly know). If Lemmy does not do it in the base web UI, you may have to hunt around to get the functionality that you want. I just wanted to let you know that it definitely does exist, maybe not in base Lemmy, but in multiple other ways, in case that helps.
