0.19 is a major update for Lemmy!

Big changes:

• Instance blocking for users: You can block the posts of users of any instance from showing in your feed.

• New Sort - Scaled: boosts smaller communities

• Better 2FA: actually tests your 2FA before applying, so you won’t get locked out. If you had 2FA before, it’ll be reset.

• User data export/import: change instances easily!

• Lots of performance and background changes.

Well borked some things during the upgrade that required going back to the backup. But we got there eventually. I will have to mess some more with Ansible to bring it in line with my current deployment so future upgrades go a bit more smoothly.

If you were logged in, you’ll have to log in again. If you had 2FA set up, you don’t anymore and will have to redo it.

We were down for heh, 2.5 hours. Any activity on the Fediverse in that time won’t have synced to our instance. However if anyone votes or replies to that comment it will sync. So we shouldn’t miss anything worthwhile :P

If you’d like to help contribute to our ongoing costs, or would like to show some appreciation, you can at OpenCollective: https://opencollective.com/thelemmyclub

This instance is funded primarily out of my own pocket with no return whatsoever. The costs aren’t too high (~$250/yr) but community donations are always very appreciated. At the moment, we’re about 10% community funded. Either way, The Lemmy Club isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Thanks for being a member of The Lemmy Club.
