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.

    URL Blocking, at last. Now I can block all those AI shit websites on my communities :D

    Huh? How? I don’t see anything about this in the six linked changelogs.

        In 0.19.4, section “Moderation enhancements”

        But this is about admins being able to block URLs, not about mods of communities.

          PieFed and Mbin both allow you to block URLs, like of a particular news source that you don’t want. At a guess, the Sync and Connect Lemmy apps may do likewise (but I don’t truly know). If Lemmy does not do it in the base web UI, you may have to hunt around to get the functionality that you want. I just wanted to let you know that it definitely does exist, maybe not in base Lemmy, but in multiple other ways, in case that helps.
