Programming.Dev is going to be going down starting at around 00:01 UTC Monday Dec 2 to attempt to fix the database corruption that happened relating to communities.
This has been affecting attempting to look at the pages for certain communities (it would end up loading forever instead of actually showing the posts for the community) and was affecting federation in some cases.
This is the second attempt to fix the issues with the first one needing to be rollbacked from due to the fix not working.
This fix could take several hours, so the outage window is going to be from 00:01 - 06:00 Dec 2.
Aww man I just joined here recently, hopefully it’ll be fixed soon or won’t end up effecting newer communities.
Newer communities arent affected
I’m glad to hear that, I was a bit worried since I just started a community here. Do we know how it happened so we can avoid it in the future, or was it just bad luck?
Was an issue with the upgrade script when upgrading to 0.19.5
The fixes are done for tonight, but are not 100% complete. I estimate that 99.4% of cases have been fixed though. You might see problems with individual posts, but every community should be fixed. I’ve seen at least 1 issue with the !science@lemmy.world community and I’ll be investigating that if it doesn’t self resolve (stuff could still be catching up).
IF YOU SEE ANY MORE ISSUES PLEASE REPORT THEM HERE.
Heyo, I assume this may also be related to the database issue, but I noticed today that posts I make to !linuxhardware@programming.dev from slrpnk.net aren’t federating, nor are posts made there with my p.d account federating out to slrpnk.net.
I’ve not logged in for a couple of weeks. Is
old.deprecated now? Or is the fact that it won’t load any comments part of the corruption issue?old is still supported, what comment section are you trying to look at
Huh. Turns out I had to clear cookies and site data, and now old is working again.
