EDIT:

The pictrs migration is still taking place in the background, and there might be some problems displaying new or some old images, as well as a bit slower site performance. But it seems like the site can run well now.

The lemmy backend makes use of pict-rs for hosting images. A new version (0.5.0) was recently released, and upgrading from the previous version involves a migration that is expected to take a few hours.

I am planning to run that migration either tomorrow evening or on Saturday. If all goes well, the instance will be down for only a few hours.

Just a heads up in case you stop by and see that the site is unavailable.

      Thanks for the welcome!

      On other matter: I’m planning to create a Linguistics community here, would it be OK? I noticed a few comms about other human sciences, but asking it to be sure.
