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:
- Lemmy v0.19.4 Release
- Lemmy v0.19.5 Release
- Lemmy v0.19.6 Release
- Lemmy v0.19.7 Release
- Lemmy v0.19.8 Release
- Lemmy v0.19.9 Release
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.
This is the update that’ll break sync, right?
Sad times, but I guess I’m gonna be deciding between boost and infinity tomorrow
No it won’t. That’s the next major release, this is just LW catching up.
partial breakage, the stuff that people on other instances have already been experiencing for a while.
iirc there are still some additional issues with sync arising with the update, but it won’t be entirely broken.
I’m a sync user and haven’t had any issues, what breakage are you referring to?
there are various mentioned in !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world, the main one i was referring to was the one where in some cases posts in local communities won’t show comments.
Biggest problem for me is that posts no longer show as read. Makes it almost completely unusable. I switched to Voyager and canceled my premium Sync subscription.
Well damn. The comments for me are not so rarely even more important/interesting than the post itself…
Oh phew
For me Sync has been broken since long ago (proud Summit user now), my instance has always been updated faster than .world though, so I can’t really pinpoint since which version I started having issues with it.
Give Voyager a try as well!!
+1 for Voyager. It feels like a spiritual successor to Apollo.
Voyager makes me feel right at home as a former Apollo and RiF user.
Former Sync user of around 5 years. Recently switched to summit and it was a pretty easy transition. I’ve made plenty of rants about how the Dev just abandons paying customers and I finally had enough once I knew that it actually messes things up if you try to report some things.
Try Summit, it’s slick!
Yeah, yet another proprietary app is really the place to go.
Thunder works great, it FOSS, and under active development.
BOOST BOOST BOOST
Take a look at summit too!
Summit is my main app for Lemmy.
Lemmy Connect :)
Accidentally replied to the wrong comment. Moved.
Finally the people that got baited into adware like sync will be forced to find something better.

That’s not how sandboxing works.
