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.

The update has broken a bunch of things for me…
On my desktop using firefox, I cannot get images to display & everything is slow to load. On my android phone, boost was showing me a ton of stuff that I do not follow & wasn’t showing me any info about my profile (profile tab would not load or something). Boost eventually logged me out & I have been unable to log back in…Images were temporarily broken due to authentication problems, but thats fixed now. If you encounter problems in apps, please them to the developers so they can fix them.
I have experienced the same login bug on the Mlem app as well. One of my devices stayed logged in and is working perfectly; my other device logged me out of lemmy.ml and I have not been able to log back in on that device.
+1 for Connect app on Android. Got booted out and unable to log back in.
Seems federation is broken atm.
Let’s gooo!! Lemmy 0.19 ftw!
I’m excited for the scaling sort.
that has been workinf well on my instance 👍
Is anyone else unable to see a list of their own posts in their profile area? For example, I have several posts in /c/caps@lemmy.world that aren’t showing up in my profile.
My profile: https://lemmy.ml/u/yo_scottie_oh?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
An example of a post that I’d expect to show up there: https://lemmy.ml/post/8549237
Which, oddly is the same as this post: https://lemmy.world/post/8833534 (but this might be off topic).
I can see posts in other people’s profiles, e.g. https://lemmy.ml/u/KindnessInfinity?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts.
We have a PR fix for that out now.
If i go on my profile, i cannot see post made on an another instance :'(
I have the same problem. I wondered if it was just me.
We have a PR fix for that out.
I got randomly signed out this morning, maybe this has something to do with that.
Proud to be on the official test server 🥲
haha, we appreciate the patience. We’re not a massive company with teams of people, just a couple of FOSS programmers.
Sounds good to me
This is super exciting!
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes I can finally make those shitty instances go bye-bye

Instance blocking, baybeeeee!
Removed by mod
Yeah the latest update gives you the ability to block instances outright, so if you’re an antifascist you can block all the .de instances and not have to deal with weird posts constantly showing up from there whenever you talk about the nazis.

I thought Germany had extra laws against fascist rhetoric. Does that not apply to websites with that domain?
It’s less “ok they overtly support the nazis” more “that’s weird, why would you bring that up?”
The site feels faster, the notifications are more reactive, and moderator view is a godsend.
As for now, the only new bug is fairly minor, markup-related. Examples here and here, screenshot:
Before the update, “
há” “a” and “haver” would use a plain highlight colour (they were using the `code` markup); “dog**'s**” and “cat**'s**” had bold face.Connect on Android doesn’t work.
Connect dev here, I’m monitoring and releasing a fix (v152)
Boost for Lemmy (v1.0.3 Nov 16, 2023) seems to be having issues with this 0.19 release.
While using Boost, I stayed signed in, but my feed while set to Subscribed was showing posts not under my subscriptions. I blocked most memes communities for example yet they all showed back up, filtering by Subscribed or All they appear like identical feeds. After I signed out, to see if it made a difference, I am unable to sign back in. I’m posting this from Firefox/the web browser instead of the Boost app.
Same for me. Couldn’t see my subs, now can’t use the app anymore.
Why are images breaking?
Should be fixed. (It already got merged: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4213)
One problem is that a few communities, while they do show up in my subscriptions list, do not indicate that I am subscribed to them when I am on the community page (for example, !asklemmy@lemmy.ml is one of those communities where I noticed that issue, it mostly fluctuates between me being subscribed to the community or not). If it needs to be marked as an issue on GitHub, you can let me know.
Its probably due to a server-side-rendering related bug we’re working through rn.
