> Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program. > > This week we finally started deploying 0.19 release candidates to lemmy.ml, as a final testing step before release. Unfortunately there are some nasty authentication which we have been attempting to debug all week, without success so far. So it will take some more time to fix this and other issues before publishing the final version. > > @rasklyd made Lemmy releases for ARM64 platforms possible. @kroese did the same for lemmy-ui. This means that official releases from Lemmy 0.19 will work on devices such as Raspberry Pi. > > @dessalines has been very busy attempting to fix the previously mentioned authentication bug. He also worked on other bug fixes and upgraded Jerboa for Lemmy 0.19. > > @nutomic again fixed various problems that were introduced during 0.19 development, to get ready for the release. > > @Sleeplessone1917 implemented the frontend for user settings import/export. He also started work on an overhaul of context menus. > > ### 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. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us. > > - Liberapay (preferred option) > - Open Collective > - Patreon > - Cryptocurrency (scroll to bottom of page) >

Search is really, actually, finally coming to Mastodon. By far one of its most discussed and requested features, there is now finally an implementation that fully accounts for people’s consent to opt-in to being indexed. How Lemmy’s community is evolving, and grappling with conversations about defederation and blocking continues to be a major focus for me. Beyond that, how software forges like now GitLab are working on becoming part of the fediverse is something to look out for, how this will impact the idea about what the fediverse actually is. Speaking about ‘fediverse’, I wrote an article about its multiple meanings this week, check it out! But first, let’s dive into this week’s news...
