Update The upgrade was done, DB migrations took around 5 minutes. We’ll keep an eye out for (new) issues but for now it seems to be OK.

Original message We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ““Edit”” I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we’re still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)

    Oh is it literally just css selectors, but with a slightly different syntax? Fuck me, I never looked into it and assumed it was nonsense.

      The extra syntax is just to add some features that aren’t in CSS. Not quite sure where this came from, I think it’s from the Adblock Plus era, but Gorhill perfected it for uBlock origin, which makes it a very powerful tool.

      It’s not limited to just hiding the elements either, if you want you can simply restyle them (I’ve used this to redact sports results until I hovered over them).
