I’m planning on upgrading lemmy to v0.18.0 tonight, probably around 9pm CDT. So there will be a bit of downtime, but I don’t think it should take too long.
Release Announcement: https://lemmy.ca/post/862306
edit: kids baseball game went long, should start around 10pm CDT.
edit2: going to start in about 5 minutes. 9:55pm CDT.
edit3: looks like we’re updated. let me know if you notice any issues!
Thanks @smorks@lemmy.ca for everything you do.
I know no one likes to talk about it because they think it looks cheap or desperate but I’ll say it anyway.
SUPPORT YOUR LEMMY INSTANCE
I believe and it’s my opinion that we should all normalize paying just a little bit to our instance operators to keep their service running. They have to pay costs for maintaining services and running hardware, the costs aren’t much for a small instance but the costs grow as the system becomes popular with more users and more active users.
The more we normalize giving just a bit to our instance, the better protected they will become from burning out administrators, managers and owners who pay for the things that keep this engine running.
thank you @ininewcrow@lemmy.ca! it’s greatly appreciated!
