Its been a long time coming 🥳 .
Excerpt from the link:
Major Changes
Language Tags
Content can now be tagged to indicate the language it is written in. These tags can be used to filter content, so that you only see posts in languages which you actually understand. Instances and communities can also specify which languages are allowed, and prevent posting in other languages.
In the future this will also allow for integrated translation tools.
Comment trees
Lemmy has changed the way it stores comments, in order to be able to properly limit the comments shown to a maximum depth.
Included are proper comment links (/comment/id), where you can see its children, a count of its hidden children, and a context button to view its parents, or the post.
Featured posts
Admins and mods can now “feature” (this used to be called “sticky” ala reddit) posts to the top of either a community, or the top of the front page. This makes possible announcement and bulletin-type posts.
Special thanks to @makotech for adding this feature.
Federation
Lemmy users can now be followed. Just visit a user profile from another platform like Mastodon, and click the follow button, then you will receive new posts and comments in the timeline.
Votes are now federated as private. This prevents other platforms from showing who voted on a given post, and it also means that Lemmy now counts votes from Mastodon.
This release also improves compatibility with Pleroma. If you previously had trouble interacting between Pleroma and Lemmy, give it another try.
We’ve extracted the main federation logic into its own library, activitypub-federation-rust. It is open source and can be used by other projects to implement Activitypub federation, without having to reinvent the wheel. The library helps with handling HTTP signatures, sending and receiving activities, fetching remote objects and more.
Other changes
- Admins can now purge content and pictures from the database.
- Mods can distinguish a comment, “stickying” it to the top of a post. Useful for mod messages and announcements.
- Number of new / unread comments are now shown for each post.
- Lemmy now automatically embeds videos from Peertube, Youtube and other sites which provide an embed link via Opengraph attribute.
- You can give your site “taglines”, short markdown messages, which are shown at the top of your front page. Thanks to @makotech for adding this.
- You can now report private messages.
- Most settings have been moved from the config file into the database. This means they can be updated much easier, and apply immediately without a restart.
- When setting up a new Lemmy instance, it doesn’t create a default community anymore. Instead this needs to be done manually.
- Admins can choose to receive emails for new registration applications.
- An upgrade of diesel to v2.0, our rust -> postgres layer.
You must log in or register to comment.
I found that now iframes don’t work on lemmy and it’s unclear how to embed videos or playlists. maybe you would consider integrating editorjs? Otherwise, creating comments and posts doesn’t look User friendly.
What’s editorjs?
One of its revised versions is used on vc.ru , dtf.ru and tjournal.ru . This helps to improve user interaction with content generation.
There is a bug, when i’m writing a coment and get notification someone comment on one of my earlier comments, everything i’m just writing disappear for good. Lost few walls of text already to this.
Oh yes. This hapoened to me too, today.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@lemmy.ml
Here is answering in “Deutsch” not possible.
Yes this seems critical, I’ve opened up a bug in lemmy-ui to fix it.
which one is it?
Here is the same. I can not create a comment, when setting for this comment is “Deutsch”. The errormessage on the server is:
lemmy_1 | 2023-02-03T15:22:54.907502Z ERROR lemmy_server::api_routes_websocket: Error during message handling language_not_allowed: language_not_allowed lemmy_1 | 0: lemmy_api_crud::comment::create::perform lemmy_1 | with self=CreateComment { content: "which one is it?", post_id: PostId(132386), parent_id: Some(CommentId(59722)), language_id: Some(LanguageId(0)), form_id: Some("comment-form-BWf3BJIag OlM72MKlKvS"), auth: Sensitive } lemmy_1 | at crates/api_crud/src/comment/create.rs:41Its probably because you don’t have that language allowed in either your instance, or community settings.
The same setting on a comment in the same community, the same posting, but other answer works… this is strange.
This error happens in THIS comment-thread. Sometimes i can answer with “German” and then i’m not allowed
This answer i made with setting “German” And here it workes.
Thank you
Brilliant as always!
Thanks!
I faced another thing…
Almost all of my joined communities are now not following, just pending…
I have to cancel the following-request and follow again. This happens after upgrade to 0.17.0
There’s an open issue for that in Lemmy, we’re deciding the best way to solve it.
First i see this and click to “Subscribe pending”
then i have to click “Subscribe”
and then, the subscription was successful.
but i was subscribed at all these communities before the upgrade.
And i tested federation with pleroma. This is a Posting in Pleroma in my lemmys testcommunity
and this comes in lemmy
It works, but not very good. “TEST von pleroma” is set as “Subject” in Pleroma, but it ist not recognized in Lemmy. Pleroma has a Subject. Mastodon not.
test DEUTSCH
the subject from mastadon can be handled by making it whatever is in the first sentence\paragraph. making anything after a line break become the body of the post
This is just a workaround from lemmy, to support Mastodon… 🙏
You can give your site “taglines”, short markdown messages, which are shown at the top of your front page.
What is considered the Front Page?
The top level / home page.
Thank you for the great work that you are doing!
This update has a lot of very neat features that I’m excited to play with!
No probs!
@dessalines@dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@nutomic@lemmy.ml
here is answering in “Deutsch” not possible.
And yes… i didn’t say thank you to you and you work.
Lemmy is so cool.
And my part to make it better is to report bugs, if i find some…
Thank you so much, for your work!
Dont worry, we definitely appreciate your effort :)

🎉 thanks to the developers and everyone who helped!
one bug i noticed after the upgrade: my notifications page shows unread notifications for (what i guess is) every reply i’ve ever received which was later deleted. the count in the bell icon only reflected the actual new unread notifications I had received since I last looked, but when i click to view my unread notifications then all of these old ones about deleted messages appear to be unread now.
Mobile web browser, search bar magnifying glass isn’t registering clicks anymore but it does on desktop view
Could you open up an issue on the github? Thanks.
Oh… and another annoying thing…
I choose german as my first language. Writing a comment here, germsn is selected. Klicking on “Post” gived me an error for wrong language… an a spinning Button. No chance to change language and post it again. Clicking on cancle, deletes my comment…
I created a bugreport for this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/919
Cant reproduce this. Whats the exact error message?
That is strange… tried to reproduce it too… no way.
Did you change the language settings on your instance in between?
No.
this comments are working in “Deutsch” again… in the same thread, as the complaining comment too…
Hallo @nutomic@lemmy.ml Hier in Deutsch
Now i could reproduce it.
The errormessage was “Language not allowed” in the left down corner.
In the browser-console is maybe this:
Error: waitForElement timed out timeout moz-extension://f70e01a3-f559-457f-b29b-94679a9ff60e/content_script/mastodonInject.js:60 setTimeout handler*waitForElement/< moz-extension://f70e01a3-f559-457f-b29b-94679a9ff60e/content_script/mastodonInject.js:59 waitForElement moz-extension://f70e01a3-f559-457f-b29b-94679a9ff60e/content_script/mastodonInject.js:51 init moz-extension://f70e01a3-f559-457f-b29b-94679a9ff60e/content_script/mastodonInject.js:165 <anonymous> moz-extension://f70e01a3-f559-457f-b29b-94679a9ff60e/content_script/mastodonInject.js:175 ``` but i don't know. And you see the spinner in the "Answer-Button" left under the comment-field. It does not come back. It stays spinning. So i hat do copy the comment, cancel the action and repost it again, choosing "english" as language instead of "Deutsch"
this is great! good job!
quick question, why would my account be marked as a bot account? is there a way to change this?
Hrmm not sure how that happened… you can go to your settings to change it.
Also I apologize that the upgrade here took longer than expected. It was a massive conversion of comments to a different form, that had to work for several hundred thousand historical comments.
I bet that was a high-adrenaline click.
And a big smile when it succeeded :)
I love you too.
