Update The upgrade was done, DB migrations took around 5 minutes. We'll keep an eye out for (new) issues but for now it seems to be OK.

Original message We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ""Edit"" I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we're still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)

Minor suggestion: write your time zones like UTC+2 and not CEST. I'm pretty sure most people outside Europe don't know what the time zone CEST is. Yes, you provided a link that helpfully converts the time to the users' local time zone, but sometimes it's nicer to be able to know something without having to click into a link.

OK, updating the post

[โ€“] randint@feddit.nl 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, you actually changed it! I was kind of shocked when I came back to my feed seeing UTC+2 in the title. Thanks! :D

[โ€“] ruud@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, I like good tips like these. :-) Thanks

[โ€“] ydieb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Super nitpick. Can we just use 1800 utc? Then everyone can convert to their zone directly. *signed me in a CEST zone.

[โ€“] tburkhol@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I keep one of my spare clocks set to UTC for exactly this.

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

yeh, the actual utc time is much more straightforward than +2

[โ€“] bappity@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

it would be nice if Lemmy had support for formatting Unix timestamps in whatever timezone whoever is looking at it is in, like discord

[โ€“] Regna@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That could be fixed in the apps and UI:s as a cosmetical improvement based on a timezone entered in the user settings. UTC is... universal.

The problem with open-source for me is reading ideas like this and having to deal with the frustration of not knowing how to write it myself.
