Hello World,

we may be performing an update to Lemmy 0.19.15 on Friday.

We don't know for sure yet if we will have time to prepare and then do the update, but we'll try to squeeze it in to have it deployed this year still, as we would otherwise have to postpone it to next year.

We are planning maintenance within the time frame from 09:00-13:30 UTC on 26th of December. Actual downtime within this window is expected to be significantly shorter, maybe 15-30 minutes due to a DB migration, but we don't know yet when it will be, or if we'll be able to fit it in here at all.

You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2025-12-26T09%3A00%3A00.000Z

You can find an overview of the changes here:

• 0.19.13 release announcement
• 0.19.14 release announcement
• 0.19.15 release announcement

The most notable user-facing changes are the following:

• Comments are no longer shown as edited in the default web interface, provided the edit was within 5 minutes of the comment being posted
• Length of user profile bio has been increased to 10,000 characters
• Community sidebars now have a search field in the default web interface
• Search can be limited to post title only
• Moderation actions on deleted users federate properly
• Pagination limit using non-cursor pagination has been limited to 100 pages max.
  This should only be relevant for developers and users of clients using the legacy method for pagination, although it isn't common to scroll through 100 pages either way. Using cursor navigation is recommended and does not impose this limit.

Update 10:55 UTC: the update has been completed successfully
