Welcome to the latest version of Lemmy!

  • If you're having trouble logging in, clear your cookies.
  • If the bottom of the page tells you "BE: 0.18.5" then you need to shift-refresh your page (or clear browser cache).
  • If your app doesn't work anymore, try to sign out and sign back in.
  • If it really doesn't work, it's probably because Lemmy 0.19 introduces many big changes with how things work. Apps still being maintained by their developer should work. Apps that have not been updated in the last couple of months most likely will not work.
  • If you're using an alternate web frontent (a.lemmy.nz, t.lemmy.nz, p.lemmy.nz, voyager.lemmy.nz) then you will most likely have to clear your cache, or at the very least log out and back in.

There's a post about this release by the developers here.

Also see the blog post about the original 0.19.0 release, which is where the major changes are.

Some key things:

  • There's a new scaled sort that helps posts from small communities be seen in your feed
  • Users can now block entire instances
  • Two factor authentication should no longer lock you out of your account (no recovery codes, though?)
  • You can now export your user data (community follows, blocklists, profile settings) and import into another server as a way of migrating accounts.
  • "active user" stats shown on the home page will now count users that vote as active. Previously a user needed to post or comment.

Let me know if you see any issues!

I'm using Connect and just had to sign out, then sign in again and seems to be fine.
