As mentioned earlier, I have now finished upgrading lemmy to 0.19.6 which should bring massive improvements to federations speeds and a ton of other stuff. So many thanks to all the developers who made this happen! I love FOSS!

Fortunately the upgrade took less than 10 minutes and everything appears to have gone quite smoothly.

A little while ago, I disabled mlmym as it was not working and someone in the comments suggested I re-add tesseract, as it's still under active development and compatible with the lemmy API. I had initially removed it at the suggestion of its core developer, but since it's still working, why not, eh?

So you can once again use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to browser using the tesseract frontend. Let us know how it goes

Finally, if you appreciate this instance, please consider donating to its running costs. We're only at ~35% for covering our bi-yearly budget so we could use the support.

Expect 30 mins downtime or so. You know how it is around here...
