The database migrations took a while which meant about 10 minutes of downtime between 9:09pm and 9:19pm NZT. But the site is now up and hopefully running OK. Let me know if you see any issues. I’m hoping this will lead to a more stable site, but one big issue still hasn’t been resolved so I can’t promise anything.

And since we’re doing an announcement post, here’s a couple of things to check out that I never officially announced:

• Voyager (previously called wefwef) is a web app for Lemmy intended to resemble the Apollo reddit app. You can use any instance but we have our own hosted at voyager.lemmy.nz

• mlmym is an alternate frontend intended to resemble the old reddit theme. As far as I can tell, this is specific to an instance, so will only work for people with a lemmy.nz account (but other instances have their own version, such as lemmy.world). You can access this frontend at old.lemmy.nz

These are both set to auto-update, so please let me know if an update breaks things because I can roll back to a previous version manually.
