Update The upgrade was done, DB migrations took around 5 minutes. We'll keep an eye out for (new) issues but for now it seems to be OK.

Original message We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ""Edit"" I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we're still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)

Why are these announcements the only place I am finding out the Lemmy has an update? I figured there would be more top level discussions about it on Lemmy. Maybe I am just not following the correct communities.

If announcements of Lemmy releases are what you're after, !announcements@lemmy.ml is a place for you. But in broader picture, subsequent updates are usually just not that big of a deal.

Each server admin decides how to publish announcements, some have a mastodon account, some have a separate website, some might post on a different Lemmy server, like !Fediverse@lemmy.ml, someone would likely post up there after the fact if the server is down for a while without apparent explanation.
