We're getting ready to release a new version of Lemmy, which will require a database upgrade, so we'll have a few hours of downtime.

@dessalines It turned out to be quite a significant downtime. Is it going to be similar for other instances when they upgrade to the same version?

Most likely not... this one took a long time because lemmy has hundreds of thousands of historical comments it had to transfer to a new form.

@dessalines Won't that also be true of anyone who has been federating with you for a significant period of time?
