EDIT: The update is done - Lemmy Host now running 0.18.5
This is a short post to inform you that we will be updating Lemmy World to the latest stable release of Lemmy. This is small update that fixes issues with federation of moderation actions performed by admin accounts. There is a bigger update, v0.19.0, just around the corner but the developers wanted to get this federation issue fixed as soon as possible.
The server will be updated at 1700 UTC - if you want to know when that is in your timezone you can click here.
Since this is a small update, it shouldn’t take long. Downtime should be minimal. Please feel free to check both https://status.lemmy.world and https://dash.lemmy.world before and during the upgrade.
How difficult is it to apply these updates?
I was thinking of setting up a personal Lemmy instance, but the idea of getting it all set up and working, and then an update breaking things and my not having the advanced skill to fix it, worries me >.<
We need something more simple compatible with Lemmy for hobbyists and for those who don’t want to be all day setting up things every time.
I also was thinking about my own personal instance, because I want to see everything federated and then choose what I don’t want to see, but everybody’s tutorial is different.
Man, I miss the good ol’ times with “upload via FTP, run the “install.ext” file in a browser, setup database credentials and then you have it”.
Fediverse needs single-user applications.
