Blåhaj Lemmy will be down for database migration to the new servers in approximately 1.5 hours from now (06:00 UTC).

Downtime is estimated at under an hour.

I will have more details on the maintenance page during the migration and update the status as the migration progresses.

    The maintenance has completed and everything is now running from our new database.

    Thanks for your patience while we performed this migration.

      Lemmy was running a bit slow on the new database due to too few slots in the pool.

      I’ve increased and seems to be keeping up now.

        Too few sluts in the pool, you say? That’s awful, let me help!

        There we go, that should help you out. You’re welcome! 😋

          (that’s legitimately how I misread it at first [probably due to my cognitive issues/learning disabilities lol oops] and I couldn’t pass up the perfect opportunity to make a silly, self-deprecating joke. I hope that’s okay. I love this instance! 💖🤍💙)

        See this is why you should take some time to dry off and read so others can get in.

      You are super welcome, lovely.

      It brings Ada and I a whole heap of pleasure running these instances and it’s largely knowing that we’re making a difference to our users, and providing a safe space for you all to grow and flourish that makes it all worth it for us.

      blobhaj, hug, tinybla

        It really is. I don’t know where I’d be right now without this place. It’s honestly my favorite place on the fediverse. I have other accounts, and intended this to be an alt, but it’s turned into my main 😅

        Is there a place I might figure out how to do the emojos? I forgot they were a thing.

            Thanks!

            It looks like it may not be supported yet on Sync for lemmy, which has been my exclusive method of lemmy-ing

      That was seamless

      I wish everything I did on my server was this seamless

      It seems like every time I touch it it gets new issues lol

      Mines also a self hosted thing for self hosted stuff so it’s far lower stakes

    Idea for future maintenance page: The Community fire pizza gif but with Blahaj. :P

      So I forgot about the custom enojos, any idea if there’s a convenient way to get them for Sync for lemmy?

    Thanks for posting a notice about planned downtime. It’s nice to know it wont be because of a denial of service attack.

    Best of luck

    Server stuff is always nerve wracking in my experience

      Right?! This is a routine thing, it should take 3 minutes with little to no interruptions.

      2 hours later

      WTF is going on?

        Straight up the last time I tried to work on my server with what should have only taken at most an hour or 2, it ended up taking the entire day before I just had to roll it back and call it good enough.

    Everything was being slow a while ago but everything’s good now I think, good job everyone!
