Notices by Masto.host (mastohost@mastodon.social)

Notice: 3 servers are currently down, affecting some hosted instances. I'm aware and working on it, waiting on word from the data center about the cause.

Updates at https://status.masto.host

Sorry for the trouble. Will update here as soon as I know more.

The upgrade went better than anticipated, and everyone running on Masto.host is now on Mastodon v4.7.0.

The performance impact of the database changes was lower than I expected, so I was able to move everyone to the new version today instead of spreading it over several days.

Any issues or questions, please let me know.

Thanks 🐘

I'll be starting a gradual upgrade of all Masto.host instances to Mastodon v4.7.0.

You won't notice many changes, as this release mostly reworks things under the hood rather than adding new features.

Given the number of database changes, I'll roll them out slowly over the coming days to avoid impacting performance.

Expected downtime: ~15 seconds per instance.
