Ladies and gentlemen, Beeple of all creeds; I stand before you today amid a smattering litany of scripts and testing to say this:

Beehaw production (this site) will be going READ-ONLY at 10pm ET today, May 20th.

This is to finalize the data for migration and moving to the new Beehaw instance, which will be on the latest Lemmy release (0.19.9). There will still be some work to be done and quite possibly a few things not set right. But this is the next step in our migration process. https://status.beehaw.org/ will also be down and not reporting for this timeframe.

I expect the migration to be done within 24 hours; testing shows it should be less time ~ 6 hours but this timeframe gives me a bit more leeway to muck around. When the site is back up, you should easily be able to tell. You can also join the discord or matrix chat to talk amongst yourselves and periodic updates on the migration.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Probably worth mentioning here that this upgrade removed my 2FA, so everybody may want to check and reapply theirs. The 2FA support appears to be less awful this time, at least.

      Good call-out. 2FA in lemmy was entirely reworked and uses a different hash on the backend, so the migration removed all existing TOTP tokens. You’ll need to read initiate the 2FA if you still want it after this upgrade.
