Hello World,

we will be performing an update to PieFed 1.6.14 today.

We are planning maintenance within the time frame from 17:30-18:00 UTC on 30th of March. The service will likely go down a few times during this update, as we will also be migrating from PostgreSQL 17 to PostgreSQL 18 and adjusting some performance parameters on the database.

You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2026-03-30T17%3A30%3A00.000Z

Highlights:

• Finnish & Ukrainian localization
• various fixes for modlog
• additional functionality exposed via API, including modlog and feeds
• a fix to properly federate instance bans

You can find the full list of changes here:

• 1.6.7 release notes
• 1.6.8 release notes
• 1.6.9 release notes
• 1.6.10 release notes
• 1.6.11 release notes
• 1.6.12 release notes
• 1.6.13 release notes
• 1.6.14 release notes

We have also addressed an issue with our performance monitoring since our last post, which had slowed down our performance tuning, as we halted changes to the database while investigating that issue. We'll re-evaluate the slow API queries for post listings after the update and if needed optimize the queries or add additional DB indexes to improve performance there.

Update 17:58 UTC:

The updates for PieFed and PostgreSQL have been completed.

Well done.
