We will be adding some extra buffer to our hardware and upgrading the the 0.18.1 release candidate in order to prepare for the possible membership surge.
Upgrades complete. I had a few rough patches there, sorry for the unexpected downtime, but we’re running on the latest 0.18.1 release candidate now.
I hope you all enjoy the new features!
😘🌺 Kaity!
Hooray, thank you!
Okay, I’m taking down the server now to upsize thew instance hardware.
Server hardware is now upsized. I will be upgrading and rebuilding the 0.18.1-rc.4 lemmy now. The database hardware upsize will be in about 19 minutes time.
Database upsize completed. Still working on 0.18.1 upgrade, will be one further (software) restart in about an hour and then we’ll be done and running the latest release candidate.
Looks like this will be my last comment on .17.4. Thank you all so much for working on this!! This is exciting!!!
