Hi Everyone!
We’re now running the latest lemmy 0.19 release, you can see more details here: https://lemmy.ca/post/11378137
Note that you will need to re-enable 2FA on your account, all users had it turned off as part of this
You will most likely need to log out and back in for your client to work properly.
You must log in or # to comment.
Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed
Aww yeah we can block instances now
This is the thing I’m happiest to see and I hope it helps Lemmy grow more. Being able to block the NSFW/porn instances is such a quality-of-life improvement. I’ve got nothing against porn, but it’s a bad look if anyone can see your screen and every third post is nudity (even if it’s blurred).
Same, I still want to see some non-pr0n NFSW stuff so that really helps.
Oh this already exists, you can block all NSFW posts
I’ve seen that option but unfortunately not every NSFW post is NSFW because of nudity. Like some of the post in the Ukraine community are marked NSFW for war reasons.
I kinda expected a Reddit-disruptor to split gore off of nsfw from day one.
Thank you for hosting us!
Note that Jerboa 0.50 which is still the latest in the Play Store is broken with Lemmy 0.19. The newly released 0.53 should work but it’s not on the stores yet.
Suggestion:
Check that the compatible Jerboa version is on the Play Store before upgrading Lemmy. That way non-technical users like my wife won’t see breakage. Or alternatively upgrade several days after the official Lemmy release.
Yeah, lesson learned :/
I’ll compile a list of apps and see how we can track which one are ready for any API breaking changes before we do the server update.
I’d just delay the update for a few days up to a week. That would give a chance for most maintained apps to release updates via their respective channels. Then I wouldn’t have to care and check for specific apps.
The app developers were warned like a month ago that this would be a breaking change, they had lots of time to release patches and there’s been a few large instances on the beta of 0.19 for well over a week.
IMHO It’s not really sensible for us to go test the apps and then hold back on upgrading just because one of the dozen apps isn’t compatible yet.
What’s even worse is that the Jerboa developer is one of the Lemmy dev, he could litterally see this coming a mile away :/
But on the other hand he’s at the mercy of Google making the update available whenever they feel like it.
It’s why I wouldn’t test at all. I’d just wait a bit. Or I’d update after Lemmy.world updates. 😅 Little extra work that way.
Most of the aps can’t even distinguish between subscript and
strike-through
How can I get the 0.53 version of Jerboa?
fdrold or download the apk from their github
Does fdroid have the update? The latest version it’ll give me is 52.
GitHub is on 54,
IzzyOnDroid is on 53,
F-Droid is on 52,
Google Play is on 50
Importantly, the signatures of the F-Droid build is different than the one from Github, is different than the one for the Play Store. As a result, you can’t update an app installed from one of these sources with a build from another. 😮💨
FYI Jerboa is now at v0.54 on the Play Store.
I just updated before seeing this comment. 🙌
Is there any way to turn off the gold highlight on new comments? It makes things harder to read, and it’s also quite ugly.
Yea I’ve noticed that too, I have been refreshing the page to get rid of them
Gold? Looks more like the color of baby poop. It’s both ugly and difficult to read the text upon it.
Sigh… Here’s hoping darkly gets a better highlight color.
Try the different themes maybe?
I am using Lemmy.ca without loading any different themes,
and it looks like the ugly gold does not highlight new comments anymore. Did the admin team change something?The only remaining ugly-gold comments I have seen are ones that have the admin shield on them.
Edit: Never mind, this comment now shows as ugly-gold for me, as did another that I saw that was 8 minutes old.
I’m looking into building a temporary custom theme for both darkly and litely that removes this highlight, at least until there’s an option to disable that feature.

Thank you for the upgrade. Lots of new features and truly needed features are in this release: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-12-15_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.0_-_Instance_blocking,_Scaled_sort,_and_Federation_Queue
And thank God, I can now block instances that are a nuisance.
old.lemmy.ca is having issues with the update as well. voting doesn’t seem to always work, and I couldn’t post from it. Not a huge deal, there’s always the normal mode.
Yeah might take a bit for those apps to be patched
This one should work now.
Seems to be so far, thanks!
I left old.lemmy.ca to upvote you.
You can go back to it now, it’s been updated :)
Thanks, also added a mention in the sidebar, and I’ll update the banner on the frontpage when something changes.
Thanks!
Voyager on Android completely lost my login credentials on update, which is weird. I had to re-add my account. Working fine now though! :)
Auto expand media is awesome! Shitpost scrolling on the desktop just got elevated.
I got Jerboa 0.0.54 via the Play Store. F-Droid seems to still be on 0.0.52.
Update
The Subscribed view consistently fails to load additional posts. When I tried to add a screenshot to this post it gave me an “incorrect_login” toast. Adding text seems fine. 🤔
Adding a pic via the web app works fine:
Update 2
It seems like they were both fixed today:
They haven’t been released yet.
Update 3
And now w patiently await 0.0.55 to reach the stores.
Update 4
Aaand released:
Uploading images works. So does the Subscribed view.
It looks like this concludes the saga of the 0.19 release and Jerboa. 😅
F-Droid seems to still be on 0.0.52
You may need to update you repositories. It’s been on .54 for a couple days.
[edit] Scratch that, I had added a repo which had the updated version sooner and forgot about it.
I am really liking Scales, Auto Expand Media, and Open in new Tab. Very nice QoL improvements.
The highlight on new comments is ugly as sin. Do not want.
It’s absolutely atrocious, and it reduces the contrast, making things harder to read.
Me not knowing wtf you guys are talking about with this ugly gold thing that has never shown on my jerboa program on my phone
Along with the YOLO up to the new version, comes new bugs!
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4288
0.19.1 hopefully coming soon.
Time to upgrade to 0.19.1-rc1!
Yeeeeep, done.
This upgrade is gonna be one of those.
“this” upgrade? 😁
Ah nice, updated!
Excellent!
Looks like this update may have broken access on Eternity for android.
0.19 changes the login process so apps need to update. Most have from what I’ve heard. You’ll also need to log out and log back in on any apps after the update.
That fixed it, thanks!
