I will be updating the instance to v18 at 20:00 22:00 UTC.
See https://programming.dev/post/181191 for the changes
edit: Lemmy.ml updated and seems to have gone down. We’re going to wait and see what the outage was caused by and then proceed from there.
edit 2: lemmy was down due to a ddos attack. We will upgrade at 22:00 UTC
edit 3: we had issues with the email setup getting overridden again. If you tried to sign up in the past 8 hours please try to just log in. If you can’t, please message me (discord, matrix, or mastodon)
Yikes, looks like there are some serious query problems. Paging in postgres and ordering by an unindexed column.
Someone split off that issue into another issue with more details and yeah, it sounds bad.
