Hello friends!

Lemmy.ca will be undergoing scheduled maintenance from approximately 12:00 - 12:30 PT (3:00 - 3:30 ET), while we move to a more powerful server.

Happy Canada day!

    Are there plans to bump to v0.18.1 at the same time? Only asking as my themes will need to be updated when we do.

      0.18.1 hasn’t been officially released yet, it’s still an RC. We’re probably going to hold until it’s official. New server will still be 0.18.0.

        As much as I’m looking forward to the improvements in the latest Release Candidate, this is definitely the right call.

        Best of luck with the server migration and happy Canada Day!

        Fyi Lemmy.world just moved to 0.18.1rc4, it can be a good indicator of how stable it is

      Do you have an updated copy of your theme already? If you send it ahead of time, happy to drop it in whenever we do the upgrade.

            Thanks! Unfortunately, I’ve had to push more updates, because many frontend elements have changed even between the v0.18.1 release candidates. This may be an impossible task to maintain as a native theme option.

            For now, the layout changes appear to be working as intended but most of the colour changes are not. I’m wondering if we should just pull the plug on this approach before too many users grow dependent.

            I’m maintaining a version for Stylus and other CSS injector add-ons on Github. It’s also available at UserStyles, and these might be the most sensible solutions as I can update them on the fly.
