Lemmy 0.18 Released (discuss.online)

There has been a release of Lemmy version 0.18.

There is a very long list of changes for the back end and front end. You can see them here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases

I do plan to upgrade at some point. However, I'm considering waiting until Lemmy 0.18.1. In 0.18 they removed captcha support. This has been a very useful tool to keep bots from taking over the instance. If I upgraded to 0.18 now I'd have to turn on registration applications. I fear that the registration application would be too much friction to gain users.

Please, let me know what you think of this change. An announcement will be made once an upgrade is to take place.

You can view instance status and maintenance schedules here: https://status.discuss.online.

Hmm, I don’t see anything about captcha support being removed in the changelog? I do see they added TOPT/2FA support though

Looks like they added it back in the final release. It was out of the release candidates.

I'll try this version out on a test server and then schedule maintenance. Some of the other admins have already updated while some are having big issues and outages.

But then there is another note:

Revert "feat: re-added captcha checks" by @dessalines in #3288

So, I will be waiting for 0.18.1. I think that's the plan to add it back.

I'm going to do the update now. It's running on several instances successfully.
