In case anyone was wondering, yes we were down for ~2 hours or so. I apologize for the inconvenience.
We had a botched upgrade path from 0.17.4 -> 0.18.0. I spent some time debugging but eventually gave up and restored a snapshot (taken on Saturday Jun 24, 2023 @ 11:00 UTC).
We’ll likely stick to 0.17.4 till I can figure out a safe path to upgrade to a bigger (and up-to-date) instance and carry over all the user data. Any help/advice welcome. Hopefully this doesn’t occur again!
No problem at all, the transparency is appreciated and it’s understandable. There will be learning curves and hiccups with any new and evolving tech being pushed into the limelight (Lemmy, in this case).
