  • Its not merged/deployed yet.

  • What happened with active users on Lemmy?
  • Second attempt, I removed lemmy.world from the blocklist and instead added some code to hide any instances with more than 30% of all active users.

  • Ah yes Im a liability to Lemmy which wouldnt even exist without my work. Troll harder kiddo.

  • I just checked out your website, you have a lot of active projects, impressive! I only work on Lemmy, fulltime, but yet there is way too much work.

  • That's only one developer, but you were talking in plural. What other Lemmy dev are you referring to?

  • It seems there are always people on the internet who spread negativity about those who actually create things. Best you can do is ignore them.

  • I haven't seen that community before. Some people have way too much time on their hands to keep posting about things they dislike. But at least it proves that censorship on Lemmy is impossible, when not even us developers can do it.

  • Wait, when have I ever denied any genocide?

  • What happened with active users on Lemmy?
  • Or even some logic to automatically exclude from the list any instance with more than x% of active users.

  • What happened with active users on Lemmy?
  • I posted about this in the admin chat on matrix, but you're right the pull request was merged very quickly.

    The lemmyverse link is also a good idea, but users only see it after filling in their email and password. At that point it's unlikely that they would cancel it and go to a different website.

    Edit: I'm now thinking to change the joinlemmy code so that any instance with more than x% of active users will automatically be hidden.

  • What happened with active users on Lemmy?
  • Right, I didn't think how it would affect the total active user count. Will have to think of a solution for that.

    Better names for Lemmy versions?

    The names of previous Lemmy versions were all very boring and repetetive. We need something much more creative. Any ideas?

    Lemmy Development Update 2024-02-09

    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.

    The last two weeks were rather quiet, with only some minor changes merged:

    @Elara6331 made improvements to the RSS feeds, adding thumbnails and filtering invalid characters. She also made a change to account creation, so that new accounts automatically have the correct interface language.

    @iatenine increased the font sizes in lemmy-ui.

    @Kradyz improved the message of the add mod dialog.

    @dessalines has been adding more mod tools to jerboa: adding ban actions and viewing votes.

    @Sleepless has been working on lemmy-ui-leptos, as well as creating a rust api library for lemmy called lemmy-client-rs.

    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.

    Lemmy Development Update 2023-12-22

    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.

    Last Friday we finally released Lemmy 0.19.0, after a long development time and extensive bug fixing. Read the announcement to find out about the major changes. A few days later on Wednesday we had to publish 0.19.1 to fix a few more bugs that slipped through.

    @phiresky fixed the critical bug with outgoing federation in 0.19. Previously he fixed an authentication bug in lemmy-ui which was blocking the 0.19 release.

    @dessalines fixed the broken logic for "hide read posts". He also fixed a problem with email login being case sensitive

    @nutomic reenabled pushing to crates.io so Rust developers can easily interact with Lemmy. He also made performance optimizations for /api/v3/site and the optimized the Activitypub context sent by Lemmy, reducing the database size and the amount of data sent between instances. He fixed various tests to prevent random failures in continuous integration 1 2

    @dullbananas has long been busy improving the database queries for Lemmy, such as fixing a bug in the way different posts sorts are combined, and improving the test cases.

    This is our last update for 2023. It was a very busy year for Lemmy, and it looks like 2024 might have even more changes in store. So lets enjoy these holidays, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    What would be a good name for a federated Wikipedia?

    Let's say someone created a Wikipedia clone with Activitypub support, so you can freely read and edit articles on other servers. Basically the same way that Lemmy works. What would be a good name for such a project? Bonus points if the name goes with a cute animal mascot.

    Edit: Here you can see the names of existing Fediverse projects.

    Lemmy Development Update 2023-12-01

    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.
