Hello World,

we will be performing an update to Lemmy 0.19.12 in just over an hour.

We are planning for around 15 minutes of downtime today at 20:00-20:15 UTC.

You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2025-06-17T20%3A00%3A00.000Z

Most of the changes for 0.19.12 were already backported by us when we deployed 0.19.11.

This update will bring us the remaining changes listed in the release notes.

We were mostly just missing some technical changes:

• building with Rust 1.81 instead of 1.80
• updating various dependencies
• a small logic change to count local users more accurately for statistics
• database index additions, which should improve performance of some less frequently used queries

There is one more notable change: Lemmy now ships with the RBlind theme

Update 20:35 UTC: The update has been completed successfully and services were back up at 20:20 UTC, 5 minutes later than planned due to a stuck DB query blocking migrations.
