We've finally updated to 0.19 after some serious wrangling with the database migrations.
You need to re-login on your apps, & reset 2FA if you had it
Basically it went super smooth on dev, (because the dev db was super-ish small). Turned out the regular pruning of the activities (sent/received) were not happening on production, so the database had grown to over 90GB!
It's finally sorted itself and everything is right with the world.

Cool New Features:
- Instance blocks, for Users!
- Import/Export Settings!
- a 60 minute downtime ๐
- "working" 2FA

Edit 1.
There was/is a known bug relating to outgoing federation (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4288) which we are hoping to be fixed with 0.19.1-rc1. To ensure we can federate with everyone we have updated to our first "beta" version in production. '-rc1'
It seems it has been broken. :( Keep an eye out on https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4290 for more info
