The site has been updated to Lemmy version 0.19.18, so as always, let me know if things look "weird".

PS - I think I also finally fixed my login issues on desktop! Yay for bad configs!

Today (31/8/25) I have made the tough decision to block the site for UK users. The broad and yet vague rules around the OSA make enforcement for a Lemmy Instance of my size virtually impossible. I'm sorry to anyone this may effect, but it was a step I felt I needed to take to protect the site as well as myself.

~~Updating the instance to 0.19.12 so let me know if you see anything weird.~~. Just kidding for some reason the site gets wonky and nothing loads, back to 0.19.11 for now.

EDIT 20/09/2025 - Well apparently Lemmy release 0.19.13 does the same thing, slow loading requiring a page refresh for every page which makes things like comments and logging in impossible. I'm not sure if it's a weird caching bug or what. I did break the database/instance for several days in my pursuit to "fix" it. Sorry!

I have set the set the instance to "private" so you cannot read it without logging in. This is an effort to stop AI bots from hammering the server. If you see anything else weird please let me know.

I updated to 0.19.10 like two weeks ago when it released and noticed I never posted anything about it. I haven't seen anything weird or seen any news about strange gremlins, so I'm guessing no news is good news. =)

I updated the Instance to Lemmy 0.19.8 the other week and forgot to post about it, sorry. It seems to be running well, but, as always let me know if you see anything odd.

I updated the Instance to Lemmy 0.19.7 today, so as always let me know if you see anything odd. I also moved the images to Object Storage, and unfortunately it does seem that a few images were "eaten" in the process, sorry!

I have updated the instance to the new Lemmy 0.19.6 that comes with a bunch of updates/fixes. As usual, let me know if you see anything weird besides me. =)

Upgraded the instance to 0.19.5 and all seems well. As usual, let me know if you see otherwise.

Upgrading the site to Lemmy 0.19.4 so expect roughly an hour of downtime. I'll update this post right before I take the site down, and again once the site is back up.

Edit #1: OK, site will be going down now 11:31am EST. Edit #2: Site is back up - upgrade complete @ 10:46 pm EST.

A lot of things broke I didn't expect, so please let me know if you find something not work as you believe it should be and I'll see what I can do about fix it (hopefully quicker). Again, sorry about the downtime!

Hi Tim

I saw your instance the other day and had a look, although I'm not neuro-diverse I do have two young daughters that, one is probably on the ADHD spectrum (has been assessed but at here age thy didn't want to make a diagnoses as she can normally cope well) and another that has been diagnosed with severe anxiety and IBS.

I have decided to create a second lemmy account here as it seems to fit nicely with me and my own instance, No Last Name Needed

I have updated the site to Lemmy 0.19.2 so let me know if you notice anything ... wonky. =)

Merry Christmas to all. Hope everyone’s having a wonderful time.

This is just a heads up that I'm readying the server for the new 0.19.1 update so there will be a little downtime for the site once it begins. I'm hopeful that I can do it without buggering the whole thing up and needing to do any restores. =)

See you on the other side!

As the title states, the instance is now running Lemmy 0.19.0 release. Overall I think it's running good, and some good quality of life features added.

You can read more about it here.

I just update the instance to the newest lemmy-ui:0.19.0-beta.1 and lemmy:0.19.0-rc.1 builds, and as far as I can tell nothing blew up. =)

Oh and the site should work with logins now as well that was broken by an in between build that changed the database but not the front end to talk to it.

My constant quest for the new shiny caused me to bork the site for a short time until I could grok what I did wrong and fix it.

Sorry if anyone was inconvenienced!!

Updated the instance to the bleeding edge, because I can't NOT if I know that I can. I do hope that it will help with some federation/community stuff that I am seeing.
