misskey misskey UPGRADE

Affected: >= 10.93.0 and < 2026.3.1

Fixed in: 2026.3.1

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 10.93.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison misskey sudo apt install misskey=<VERSION_BEFORE_10.93.0> sudo apt-mark hold misskey

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list misskey sudo dnf downgrade misskey-<VERSION_BEFORE_10.93.0> sudo dnf versionlock add misskey

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
