Hey everyone! Were pushing through the update to 0.19 now that 0.19.1 is out that fixes the issues with it (outbound federation breaking + show read posts not working)

Said in the previous meta post it would be after christmas but due to something that got noticed about 0.18 (not going to specify what since we and a bunch of other instances are still on it) were pushing it through now

Major Changes in 0.19

• Code block support in lemmy-ui (the website) (contributed by programming.dev)
• Activity metrics now includes voters (contributed by programming.dev) (this is how our instance was doing it but now all instances do)
• Reports are now resolved automatically when a post is marked as deleted
• 2FA has been reworked to prevent people getting locked out
• Users can now block instances
• Theres a new scaled sort that can be used (hot sort but takes into account community active users so it boosts low activity communities)
• You can now remote follow instances by browsing on another site and hitting subscribe when not logged in (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1875#issuecomment-1727790414)

Theres a bunch of other changes but not relevant to end users or are more minor

NOTE

• If you enabled 2fa you will need to enable it again due to the 2fa changes
• You will need to log in again due to authentication changes

I will be updating the instance to v18 at 20:00 22:00 UTC.

See https://programming.dev/post/181191 for the changes

edit: Lemmy.ml updated and seems to have gone down. We're going to wait and see what the outage was caused by and then proceed from there.

edit 2: lemmy was down due to a ddos attack. We will upgrade at 22:00 UTC

edit 3: we had issues with the email setup getting overridden again. If you tried to sign up in the past 8 hours please try to just log in. If you can't, please message me (discord, matrix, or mastodon)
