To update everyone:

In getting ready for the upcoming lemmy release, we usually deploy a test release here on lemmy.ml (the dev instance) for a few days, to discover any issues for a large production server, so other people don’t have to.

We found a performance issue with this one, so we downgraded back to 0.19.3, and restored from a database backup made a few hours ago.

I apologize for the few hours of downtime that caused today.

Okay we’re back! Sorry about the downtime, was ~40m.

Thank you all.

A weakness of Lemmy as a platform is that I wasn’t able to see this post until after the server downtime happened.
