What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Major Changes

This version fixes the problem of comment context not loading properly. It also fixes a couple other bugs.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. No one likes recurring donations, but they’ve proven to be the only way that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.

Upgrade instructions

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker. There are no config or API changes with this release.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

    Support development

    I’ve subscribed monthly, if you can afford it, you should too!

    There’s no present danger of making the development team rich enough to dismantle the capitalist state. The funding is yet to reach normal subsistence level. You can see the sums collected in each of the platforms.

    Could we get some more feature parity in the old.lemmy by chance? There’s no ability to block users, and you should be able to block a group without going into it first. (Let’s give you an example here. You don’t wanna see horse porn. It shows up in /c/ALL. You have to… VISIT the horse porn group, in order to block it…)

    Does anyone else have an issue where the browser back button causes Lemmy to go back twice?

    In other words, if you click “next” at the bottom of your feed, open a post and press the back button, does it return to the original page?

    Or, if you choose a sort, open a post and press the back button, does the sort get reverted?

    It started happening to me in 0.18.3, but I don’t want to file a report if I’m the only one experiencing this

      Yes, this and the broken comment context has made browsing seriously painful

      Still happens to me on chrome with the webpage. I’m using Sync almost exclusively now and it doesn’t have this bug.

      I tried it and if I click next, I go to page 2. Then I open a post and click the back button on the browser. And then I’m back on page 2, as expected.

      Also tried to switch sorting method and it remembers the sorting method when I go back from a post as expected.

      I think probably you have some plugin that is interfering. Try with another browser or a clean browser profile.

        I can reproduce it on Android in Firefox Nightly, but not in incognito mode (even while logged in). It happens in Chromium as well, including in incognito mode

        In Firefox, I’ve tried disabling all add-ons and tracking protection and clearing cache and cookies, to no avail

        I could test on other phones and operating systems, but I don’t really want to spend more time on this. It’s not that big of an issue for me

          Hmm. That’s really weird. Hopefully someone else in this thread can test also so we get more info.

    I missed the AMA, but I saw someone ask about archiving Lemmy and one of you two had mentioned that the instances kinda already do. In a sense they do, but only for subscribed instances. I feel like there could be something a bit more dedicated for the purpose of archival.

    Do you have any thoughts or tips on the best way to tackle that? I have a bit of rust experience and willing to look into it.

    Came from reddit to lemmy, it’s difficult to use it :( I’m using thunder, still using lemmy seems a headache

      I feel your pain and I’m hoping I can help! I’m making a web UI that aims to be easier to use than existing ones.

      It’s not as refined as reddit but the content is better and the community can improve the UI/UX over time… At first it was a little awkward for me coming from reddit but it didn’t take long for me to adjust and the diversity of people and ideas I’ve found on here is well worth it.

    any fix for the instances updated column falling out of date? or maybe expanding the window to 5 days instead of 3 days? or instances with 2 day old updated column could be rechecked daily?

    I don’t think I was able to find an issue or pull request about this on Github so I haven’t been able to track its progress

    I was gonna file a bug on Github but one of the required fields is a log file, but I don’t currently have this issue on my own little instance
