The database migrations took a while which meant about 10 minutes of downtime between 9:09pm and 9:19pm NZT. But the site is now up and hopefully running OK. Let me know if you see any issues. I’m hoping this will lead to a more stable site, but one big issue still hasn’t been resolved so I can’t promise anything.
And since we’re doing an announcement post, here’s a couple of things to check out that I never officially announced:
-
Voyager (previously called wefwef) is a web app for Lemmy intended to resemble the Apollo reddit app. You can use any instance but we have our own hosted at voyager.lemmy.nz
-
mlmym is an alternate frontend intended to resemble the old reddit theme. As far as I can tell, this is specific to an instance, so will only work for people with a lemmy.nz account (but other instances have their own version, such as lemmy.world). You can access this frontend at old.lemmy.nz
These are both set to auto-update, so please let me know if an update breaks things because I can roll back to a previous version manually.
I’m on desktop / Firefox ESR and don’t use an app, but can access old.lemmy.nz either way – whether signed in or not.
old.feddit.nl will not work at all, whether I’m signed in or not, because the admin is not (yet) using mlmym.
As a workaround, I have to go to https://mlmym.org and enter feddit.nl in the box.
Yes, that’s expected, as mlmym is separate to lemmy. I’m not sure I quite got my point across but it doesn’t matter, I think you understand what does/doesn’t work.
