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.

What I meant by that is that, as an example, Voyager lets you type in which instance you want to conmect to. So even if your account isn't on lemmy.nz, you can still go to voyager.lemmy.nz and log in using your account.

However, for old.lemmy.nz I don't think this is an option. I think it will only work for people with a lemmy.nz account.

I'm on desktop / Firefox ESR and don't use an app, but can access old.lemmy.nz either way -- whether signed in or not.

old.feddit.nl will not work at all, whether I'm signed in or not, because the admin is not (yet) using mlmym.

As a workaround, I have to go to https://mlmym.org and enter feddit.nl in the box.

Yes, that's expected, as mlmym is separate to lemmy. I'm not sure I quite got my point across but it doesn't matter, I think you understand what does/doesn't work.
