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.

      Intéressant, j’ai pas encore vérifié si c’est dans cette version là qu’on pourra bloquer une instance au niveau utilisateur.

        Si si, c’est bien ça. Mais attention, il me semble que le bloquage n’est pas aussi total qu’on voudrait le croire:

        Analogous to the existing community block functionality, users can also block instances. This means that all content from communities which are hosted there is hidden. Posts from users of blocked instances are still visible in other places.

          Ouais, ça bloque les communautés mais pas les utilisateurs.
          Ce serait bien de pouvoir choisir l’un ou l’autre ou les deux.
          Ex: les bot de chez alien.top mais qui postent des copies fantômes depuis reddit, mais sur d’autres instances.

            De ce que j’en comprends, si quelqu’un bloque les instances liées au projet Fediverser (dont sont issus les bots alien.top), il ne verra plus leurs communautés, donc ça devrait marcher

              Oui, mais ça implique de bloquer chacune des instances fediseer fediverser et il s’en ajoute de temps à autre.
              Ceci dit, c’est déjà mieux que de bloquer chaque communauté.
