We just successfully upgraded to the latest Lemmy version, 0.9.10, probably the last before the v1 release.

This addresses some of the PM spam that everyone has been getting. Now when that user is banned and we remove content it also removes the PMS. So hopefully you won’t see them anymore!

Over the next couple days will be planning for our migration to our new server as our current server’s contract has ended. I expect the down time to last for about an hour, if not shorter. You’ll be able to follow updates for the migration by our status page at https://status.reddthat.com/

Normally this update would be a week in advance and more nicely formatted that turns out the contract ends on the 25th and I don’t want to get charged for another month at a higher rate when I just purchased the new server.

See you on the other side,

Tiff

    Looks like we picked up some more contributors on OpenCollective since your last update. Hopefully a few more people will pitch in since it seems like we’re just barely over the line… but am I reading it right that reddthat is back in the black now?

    Wishing you the best for a smooth server migration! o7

      It seems that way, I’ll have to do some extra math on our flows to double check but with the new server it should be completely in the black! Until our S3 costs go up of course.

      Also I managed to get it so I get billed in AUD this time so we won’t be at the behest of the exchange rate.

      Once the dust has settled after the migration I’ll write up a big announcement on the last year. We’re just shy of 2TB of storage now (I’m so glad we went with S3 compatible storage, otherwise we’d have been in trouble!). & Hopefully LW will turn on their parallel sending. I think they are super hesitant because it hasn’t really been tested at any serious level, so if there is a way to have it only for reddthat I think they would work with us. That’ll shave an extra 4€ off our bill each month too.
