EDIT: The update is done - Lemmy Host now running 0.18.5

This is a short post to inform you that we will be updating Lemmy World to the latest stable release of Lemmy. This is small update that fixes issues with federation of moderation actions performed by admin accounts. There is a bigger update, v0.19.0, just around the corner but the developers wanted to get this federation issue fixed as soon as possible.

The server will be updated at 1700 UTC - if you want to know when that is in your timezone you can click here.

Since this is a small update, it shouldn't take long. Downtime should be minimal. Please feel free to check both https://status.lemmy.world and https://dash.lemmy.world before and during the upgrade.

It depends on your setup and the nature of the updates.

This update is small. If you are using docker/compose, you'll have to do nothing but update the version number of the image.

Large updates sometimes have database migrations that take a long time.

Once in the past, there has been an update that raised the minimum supported Postgres version which was the most tedious. But cases like this are rare.
