Please, before posting, we’ve seen a lot of these post saying X instance is down right now, or “is X instance down?”. The answer is probably, but it’s probably because Lemmy v0.19 dropped and it includes some downtime, upwards of an hour for all the migrations to finish.
Please, hold off on asking/posting for an hour or so. Your sysadmins are waiting for it to come back online.
I manage my own tiny insurance and it took long enough that I thought I broke something. I must need to turn up logging because the back end was completely silent except for “0.19.0” and I only knew something was happening because the database was busy.
I chose to take down my production instance of lemmyz do a cp -r of it, update the docker compose file to specify the new version numbers for Lemmy and lemmy-ui plus change the port that the stack exposes and do a docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d on that stack to check to see if it could all work. Thankfully it did, so I updated the production compose file and tada! I’m on 19.0 safely
