Hello!

In about four hours from now, we’re going to be under maintenance briefly to perform an upgrade to Lemmy 0.19.1 which was released yesterday. There are a few fixes in this release, but primarily the push for getting this update applied quickly is a fix to outgoing federation activities (these are the messages that get passed between servers to indicate an action that you’ve performed).

I’ve not seen any signs of federation breaking, but I’d rather go ahead and get that fix applied now before it does end up becoming an issue. The update process shouldn’t take too long, I am not even sure if there are any database migrations that need to be ran for this one (which is usually where most of the processing time comes from).

As always, during the maintenance window you’ll be able to follow any updates regarding it over on The BitForged Network’s status page.

Let us know if you have any questions, or run into any issues!
