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.

    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.

      I can’t make any other app look and feel as nice as Sync, honestly. I was trying out Thunder just now, and maybe I could get used to it but the user avatars don’t work for some reason. I don’t disagree about ljdawson though and I wish it was different.

        If you haven’t tried Summit, give it a go, the default look is NOT Sync like but it has a lot of customization options and I feel like I’ve gotten my setup looking pretty close.

          I’ve tried but like all other apps it’s not perfect. I don’t know why you can’t tweak the spacer in your post view. List With Cards gets kinda close but the spacer is too big (and the cards could be a little more compact). With Compact view the spacer is too thin.

          I also hate the way it handles user avatars/profile pictures. Why are Sync and Boost the only apps that do it properly? Hide it altogether if no custom picture is selected, otherwise display it. All the “default Lemmy” user avatars make the comment section too busy in Summit, but I want to see custom ones since it helps me identify people I recognise.

          Summit also doesn’t do a different font colour for pinned threads.

        I’m trying out Thunder and like it for the most part, but I can’t seem to get messages to work
