[Completed] Lemmy.World update to Lemmy 0.19.9 on 16th of March, 16:00 UTC

Hello,

we will be performing the long awaited update to Lemmy 0.19.9 tomorrow.

We are planning for around 1 hour of downtime between 16:00-17:00 UTC on 16th of March.

You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2025-03-16T16%3A00%3A00.000Z

You can find an overview of the changes in our previous announcement here and in the Lemmy release notes:

Update 16:50 UTC:

The upgrade was successfully completed at around 16:27 UTC, but we're still fighting with some performance issues after the upgrade. Our database and the outbound federation container are currently using significantly higher CPU than expected, which is still being investigated to identify the root cause.

Are the comment upvote and downvote numbers gone intentionally?
- There are now settings to display or hide them
  
  That's cool, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I have all on in my settings:
  
  But the numbers don't show:
  
  Apparently they’re next to the timestamp now (you can see the “↑ 4” on your screenshot, and if you sort this post’s comments by Best, the Futurama meme shows as “↑ 87 ↓ 1”)
  
  You're right, thanks!
  
  Don't feel bad. I had that exact same back and forth with myself.
  
  I was also half asleep, high, and pooping, and I still figured it out on my own......so maybe feel a LITTLE bit bad.
  
  Congratulations.
  
  I find the new spot for the numbers a bit wierd, because they end up in different places according to the lenght of the username and other info like instance name.
  
  Yes, I REALLY hated that at first.
  
  Whereas now... I still do:-).
  
  I might be a bit confused, but I just went to my settings to see, and both "show upvotes" and "show downvotes" were ticked already, by default. I refreshed the page (Ctr+Shift+R), and it's still the same.

  Aaaah, I get it now, thanks! I did see the “↑ 4” bits everywhere, but it turns out that every single comment I have looked at had 0 downvotes, and then instead of going ”↓ 0”, it just simply doesn't display downvotes. I thought I was going mad.
  
  I liked the previous implementation, though. To me it seemed more clear.
  
  I vastly preferred the old way as well - you are not alone.
