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.
- Liberapay (preferred option)
- Open Collective
- Patreon
- Cryptocurrency (scroll to bottom of page)
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.
You must log in or register to comment.
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.
Did someone say LemmyCoin?
No. 😅
I updated https://lemmy.today this morning and no problems at all.
We are a small instance but still wanted to post this. Maybe it calms the nerves for some instance owners. :)
Oopsie woopsie yo instance is down 🫤
Nah, i just forgot the s in https in the link i posted. :)
Fixed it now, thank you.
You’re welcome. May I suggest to redirecting http to https? Even default nginx conf doing that as I remember.
Edit: It didnt do a redirect by default. :) Will fix that.
I don’t want to bother you more but I tried it on my phone, with a browser I never use, it shows nginx page 🤔 FYI
You dont bother me, this is very interesting actually…
You still get this default nginx page?
Yep. I tried with a web proxy too.
Is there a chance you forgot reloading nginx?
Feature request: an option to aggregate all comments of crossposted posts. It would save manually going through each crosspost
put it in the github

i.e.: SHA1 and not just SHA256 digests
If you don’t mind what’s the problem with the current implementation of 2fa?

Weird it worked for me on Aegis without any problem!
based dessalines & nutomic provide the goods yet again
Thank you guys, you are amazing!
No probs!
Is there a way - as a user - to block/ignore whole instances instead of only single communities?
Phone apps are doing it, but not sure if that is part of the base functionality. (I use Connect and I can block users, communities or instances.)
If not there are clients that do this already.
cough cough lemmygrad cough cough
Edit: I don’t have a personal problem with you if you’re a communist guys, I just don’t want my feed full of communist memes
Feeling real left out here
This one. And 2-3 others that popped up in the federated timeline recently.
Hexbear nods
What is hexbear btw?
Old lifeboat from the r/chapotraphouse banning 3 years ago. It almost instantly became the largest lemmy instance at the time and so the devs next bunch of patches were optimising so our servers weren’t crash constantly. I think that state of affairs kinda maintained until the reddit blackout. Officially, it’s non-sectarian leftism, but practically speaking it’s a more shitposty less serious lemmygrad with way higher throughput. Also for a non-trans focused space online, it’s very trans.
The name itself was just the meme that was popular on r/cth at the time of shutdown ("Look at this dope ass bear
"), and there was a vote to move away from the podcast themed name.Because of the load and a few other things (I don’t remember, I’m sure there was drama), there was a lemmy fork that only recently got reintegrated, but it means hexbear is now federated into the lemmyverse.

All I came here to see, thanks.
Thanks for the hard work. I’ve cancelled my Patreon and switched to Liberapay.
thanks for the arm builds, I am currently using
masquernya/lemmy-arm64.gitfor arm builds. How do you handle the lemmy-translations update in your build pipeline for lemmy-ui?I do not see you doing the following, or did I miss something
# manual updates cd lemmy-translations/; git checkout "$TRANSLATION_COMMIT" || exit 1;also do you have to trigger the build manually when a new lemmy version is out ?
You can run
git submodule update, then it will pull the same translations as specified in the lemmy repo. Or rungit submodule update --remote, then it will pull the latest commit from lemmy-translations.Thanks, so my pipeline should be fine in the sense that it uses the commit of the submodule, stored in the version tagged lemmy commit
Thank you for this.
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
When this happens, I reload, which seems to return me to where I was in the feed. It’s a workaround, but it would be nice to just press the back button
Me too. I also open most posts in new tabs
More annoying to do on mobile (desktop is just middle click)
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.
You can use the lemmy-stats-crawler (or part of the code) to get a list of instances. Then use endpoints
/api/v3/post/listand/api/v3/comment/listto retrieve the content.Good to know, thanks!
Came from reddit to lemmy, it’s difficult to use it :( I’m using thunder, still using lemmy seems a headache
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.
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.
Nice, smooth upgrade.

Thank Stallman. You guys rock!
