We will be adding some extra buffer to our hardware and upgrading the the 0.18.1 release candidate in order to prepare for the possible membership surge.
Server hardware is now upsized.
I will be upgrading and rebuilding the 0.18.1-rc.4 lemmy now.
The database hardware upsize will be in about 19 minutes time.
Database upsize completed.
Still working on 0.18.1 upgrade, will be one further (software) restart in about an hour and then we'll be done and running the latest release candidate.
