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.

How much longer will it be before I can finally log in and use boost or liftoff. Is there a timeline for a fix? Both have been broken since the update.

Unfortunately that's an issue for boost and liftoff to fix on their end.

It should work in Boost. The new version fixes that. Give it a try.

I got randomly signed out this morning, maybe this has something to do with that.

When I look at my subscribed list, I see lots of posts for communities I am not subscribed to.

Open up an issue on lemmy-ui's github if you would.

Is it normal that on an upgrade, users are forced to re-login?

When I vote on a story while not logged in, it silently fails on 0.19-rc8

Should be fixed. (It already got merged: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4213)

I was about the blame one of the android apps developers for breaking comments.

edit: This one was written from a browser. Apps don't like this new version.

Is anyone else unable to see a list of their own posts in their profile area? For example, I have several posts in /c/[email protected] that aren't showing up in my profile.

My profile: https://lemmy.ml/u/yo_scottie_oh?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

An example of a post that I'd expect to show up there: https://lemmy.ml/post/8549237

Which, oddly is the same as this post: https://lemmy.world/post/8833534 (but this might be off topic).

I can see posts in other people's profiles, e.g. https://lemmy.ml/u/KindnessInfinity?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts.
