We are running the latest release candidate for Lemmy, version 0.19.0-rc.1. This release candidate includes many changes.

Every release comes with its own challenges; however, it resolves previous ones. We hope this release will resolve a longstanding issue with sync not working, causing a lot of manual work from the admins to keep things in sync.

Please let us know if you experience any weird behavior.

Some known issues so far are:

HTML entities characters in posts bodies (Changing &amp; to &amp;amp;)
The spoiler tag crashes the site if used in the sidebar
Mobile apps are borked again

Update 10/25/2023

We are now running release candidate 3.

I took this up with Lemmy devs and was pointed here: https://lemmy.ml/post/5711722 Where 0.19 was described and admins warned not to use it in production and to have backups due to it being unstable.

Yes, that came out later after we upgraded. We ran the latest tag, which wasn't stable (typically, that tag is), and included some 0.19 code. So, we were stuck moving forward. Lemmy doesn't roll back. So we either had to lose a week of content, users, etc, or keep moving forward with the latest version. The good news is some bugs are fixed.
