Hello,

we will be performing the long awaited update to Lemmy 0.19.9 tomorrow.

We are planning for around 1 hour of downtime between 16:00-17:00 UTC on 16th of March.

You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2025-03-16T16%3A00%3A00.000Z

You can find an overview of the changes in our previous announcement here and in the Lemmy release notes:

Update 16:50 UTC:

The upgrade was successfully completed at around 16:27 UTC, but we’re still fighting with some performance issues after the upgrade. Our database and the outbound federation container are currently using significantly higher CPU than expected, which is still being investigated to identify the root cause.

    The reason why people are herded into apps is because of the invasive potential for stalkerware that app devs are given. You don’t need to understand the underlying OS best practices because the app dev is given full access to the device. On LW, Photon and Alexandrite are quite nice in a mobile browser with an app-like experience, but without the invasive potential. Apps are like intimate roommates; choose carefully.

      You also don’t need to understand the underlying OS to make false claims about how it works.

        If you would like to insult, be more direct. Otherwise reply with some substance instead of this hollow emotional nonsense. No one knows it all, nor are they static in capabilities. Attacking someone with passive aggressive unsubstantiated claims is worse than useless, toxic behavior.

          If I intended to insult you, I would have. But when you make an outrageous claim without evidence, it can be dismissed without evidence, and I’m not in any shape to explain why your assertion that an app gets full access to your system on install is laughable. I’m also not in any shape to deal with thin skinned posters who see insults in everything, so good day.
