19.4 upgrade (self.backend)

Hello, I'm hoping to take the instance to 19.4 in the near future.
Before doing this, I need to take pictrs up a few versions.
This will take a while, so while 19.4 is in the works, it won't happen for a week or so.

Major changes in 19.4 (It's a big-un, and should bring a fair few useful improvements): https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4_-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements

If there are any things in this list you're curious about whether we'll be implementing, ask away.

Cheers, GA.

What do we think about the local communities feature? My first reaction was great, but then I worry that popular communities might get hidden, ruining the point of federation.

I feel like they might be ok if a local community can only be set up by admins.

It would be good if a community was read only for anyone from a different instance but local users can write to it.

I can see times where it might be useful (for example, getting the community to voice their opinion about our interaction with the wider fediverse).

I'd consider making The Back End a private community, though on the other side it might one day be useful to someone (if they were finding out how not to do upgrades lol)
