This weekend I'll be working to upgrade AZ to lemmy 0.19.4, which requires changes to some other back end supporting systems.
Expect occasional errors/slowdowns, broken images etc.
Once complete, I'll be making further changes to enable/tweak some of the new features.
UPDATE: one of the back end component upgrades requires dumping and reimporting the entire lemmy database. This will require ~1 hour of total downtime for the site. I expect this to kick off tonight ~9pm Perth time.
UPDATE2: DB dump/re-import going to happen ~6pm Perth time, ie about 10 minutes from this edit.
UPDATGE3: we're back after the postgres upgrade. Next will be a brief outage for the lemmy upgrade itself... after I've had dinner π
UPDATE34: We're on lemmy 0.19.4 now. I'll be looking at new features/settings and playing around with them.
pict-rs backend update has some issues. Kept bombing out part way and restarting. Looks like I've sorted that now, so the update is progressing without stopping.
Next up will be an upgrade to postgres 16, which will require some site downtime.
0.19.4 introduced some changes to the way votes are displayed, they seem to be working fine for me on the web ui. I don't know if connect has been updated for 0.19.4 or lets you change account settings, but if you go to aussie.zone/settings (when logged in) there is a "Show Scores" setting which was off by default for me.
Iβm personally only seeing this issue with lemmy.world posts, and itβs happening to me on both Arctic (I think itβs iOS only?) and aussie.zoneβs web page.
I've been noticing since the upgrade, some images both locally and foreign don't show up when embedded in comments on my third party app (Boost). I assume this is a lack of support on Boosts part, but worth noting anyways I guess
Example from the anniversary thread in c/Australia:
(The OBJ character turns into an image once loaded, but it works fine on mobile web, but if anybody has any ideas what exactly has broken the loading, that'll make a bug report for Boost more useful)
I've seen that myself. Sync works fine, web works fine... and Boost is inconsistent, so I can only put it down to being a Boost bug... but don't haven't been able to narrow it down any further.
All browsers on iOS are required to be Safari/ WebKit based, so it will probably not make a difference. Updating iOS will update WebKit tho and might help.
The proxy thing seems to be working most alright, however I have noticed a couple of occasions where images aren't loading, and trying to open them in my browser results in a "429 - too many requests" error. I haven't been DoSing AZ, so I'm guessing this is an issue with the proxy exceeding Imgur rate limits?
I did see mentioned of imgur being one site that has issues with the new feature. Will see where I can find that and look for a solution... I had assumed it would revert to previous behavior id proxy fails.. my mistake for assuming.
