I recently noticed my app (liftoff) stopped working and also glitchy behavior from the site after the sudden upgrade to 0.19, is there any explanation or reason for the sudden upgrade, especially considering that 0.19 isn't exactly production ready (no official release from the devs).

Lemmy 0.19 Breaking Changes

Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.4 and Development Update - 2023-11-03

We are also readying another release candidate 0.19.0-rc.4. As usual it is available for testing on voyager.lemmy.ml and by installing the Docker image on your server. There are no breaking changes this time as we are preparing for the final release. It has been one month since we announced the major breaking changes for 0.19. In that sense we would like to know from developers of Lemmy clients and frontends if their projects are ready for 0.19, as we are planning to release it within the next weeks. There is no specific release date, but we will first update lemmy.ml to a release candidate, and if it works well publish the new release shortly after.

I didn't get the impresssion that frontend and client devs have signaled that they were ready for a backend update to 0.19.X. And consequently lemmy.ml is still on 0.18.5.
