Hello,
we will be performing the long awaited update to Lemmy 0.19.9 tomorrow.
We are planning for around 1 hour of downtime between 16:00-17:00 UTC on 16th of March.
You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2025-03-16T16%3A00%3A00.000Z
You can find an overview of the changes in our previous announcement here and in the Lemmy release notes:
URL Blocking, at last. Now I can block all those AI shit websites on my communities :D
And being able to comment on locked post, what a nice QoL enhancement :D
Someone ELI5 why Lemmy is or isn’t ready for a Reddit Exodus.
Personally, I want it to be. Reddit censorship/shadowbans/deletes is outta control. Imo the problem lemmy has is on Desktop, since on Android there are some great apps like Boost that give it a Reddit-like end user experience, wheras Desktop experience in a browser is No equivalent of RES, or classic reddit. Opening images is very janky. I like RESs 'view images buttons, that untwirls all view image buttons. Using lemmy on desktop is a Chore. I can handle it. But I imagine its very much a bad taste and an impediment to a greater influx of average users.
Its about time we left reddit behind and make Desktop lemmy more welcoming. The times we’re in requires a trustable platform. Reddit ain’t it.
in my opinion it’s the login experience. selecting an instance is too confusing for the average user.
I can’t wait! We’ll finally get to do a real world test for the parallel sending features!! And if all goes well I’ll get to save 5 Euro a month!
Thanks LW
Is that a young dr farnsworth?
That’s the guy who works at the cryogenics facility that Fry was frozen at for 1000 years.
Dr. Farnsworth used to have red hair, the same as his ancestor Fry and his younger clone Cubert.
Get you ass back in the Futurama instance before I paint your back porch red
A picture you can hear, holy. Vividly, lol
Love your punctuation. I can hear it in Chris Walken’s voice
Good luck admins! And thanks for doing it during the Carabao cup final so I have something else to occupy my time while lemmy.world is down :)
It’s a bit of a shame we don’t see any significant new features in this release. Piefed seems to be developing at a much faster pace compared to Lemmy, which is a bit embarrassing tbh.
considering that we’re coming from 0.19.3, this does still introduce quite a few bigger changes for LW.
