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!
Captchas are not available in this version, as they need to be reimplemented in a different way. They will be back in 0.18.1, so wait with upgrading if you rely on them.
Is there any concern about losing captchas? Seems like the bot situation is still rampant at this point. (Shouldn’t be long though for it to get added again https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3289)
lemmy.ca has closed registration and you need to write an application, so i dont think this affects us as much as a bigger / open instance
