Update The upgrade was done, DB migrations took around 5 minutes. We’ll keep an eye out for (new) issues but for now it seems to be OK.

Original message We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ““Edit”” I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we’re still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)

    I hope this isn’t what brought down lemmy.one, I’m seeking refugee status from them. :)

    Good luck!

    EDIT: App closed, cache cleared - back to normal.

    This is odd. ALL only has 9 posts. Subscriptions has 1. Refreshing makes no change.

    Android, Thunder app. API issue?

    I just checked via Firefox - all OK so I will post to the Thunder app community. Any other apps having issues?

    Is that why I got cloudflare banned last night? All I did was click my Local Top Day bookmark.

      It’s just Cloudflare being sensitive lately because of the ongoing attacks. Check out status.lemmy.world.

    Awesome! It’s great to see thing become snappier and better since I joined Lemmy.

    Reddit would almost never update unless it was a pants on fire situation or they would force feed features that no one wanted or even was tested properly.

    A big thank you to everyone involved, FROM those taking the time to submit bug descriptions in a reproducible manner and those making feature requests or those simply upvoting and pointing out the most needed patch/updates TO simultaneously amateur, newly minted coders and veteran developpers pushing small and big patches to fix anything from typos, reformatting old code, cleaning almost unnoticeable UI object, transition less performing backend modules or secure/harden of all these moving parts.

    I am glad to witness and be a part of the perpetual progress of the fediverse.

      No, it’s just the tables/indexes and application were changed by the Lemmy developers.

    • Add controversial ranking
    • Change logic for determining comment default language
    • Add infinite scroll user option

    Neat. I hope the comment language logic change means the default won’t be “Undetermined” anymore.

      It’s a bit confusing. The backend added support for infinite scrolling, but lemmy-ui(the front end) hasn’t landed that change yet.

        Infinite scroll and word filtering. If I see one more post about “AI”, Musk, Twitter, or fake superconductors, I might have to get off the computer for 10 whole minutes.

          I want to be able to ban/hide entire servers. Regularly seeing lemmynsfw celebrity communities pop up in All/Hot :| (I have nsfw disabled, so it’s just generic photos of random women.)

          Also an option would be nice to hide downvoted posts, I had that on in RES.

              Fair. It’s not too hard, but most lemmy UIs make it a bit harder than it needs to be because they want to be a fancy JavaScript-ridden mess of html tags.

              On old.lemmy.world it is supremely easy, you just use the element picker tool of uBlock to select all posts, add the ‘magic’ command :contains(reddit) to filter out the word you don’t want (in this case reddit), and you’ve got your filter. This would result in old.lemmy.world##.post:contains(reddit).

              On lemmy.world it is trickier because it is the kind of HTML no sane person would write. Doing the above you end up with lemmy.world##div.mt-2.post-listing:contains(reddit) which is messy, and misses a line that is used to divide the posts. With some manual tuning you can first simplify the first part to ##.post-listing:contains(reddit) and then add :xpath(.|following::hr[1]) to get rid of the annoying line. This results in ##.post-listing:contains(reddit):xpath(.|following::hr[1]).

                Oh is it literally just css selectors, but with a slightly different syntax? Fuck me, I never looked into it and assumed it was nonsense.

                  The extra syntax is just to add some features that aren’t in CSS. Not quite sure where this came from, I think it’s from the Adblock Plus era, but Gorhill perfected it for uBlock origin, which makes it a very powerful tool.

                  It’s not limited to just hiding the elements either, if you want you can simply restyle them (I’ve used this to redact sports results until I hovered over them).
