Hey everyone! Were pushing through the update to 0.19 now that 0.19.1 is out that fixes the issues with it (outbound federation breaking + show read posts not working)

Said in the previous meta post it would be after christmas but due to something that got noticed about 0.18 (not going to specify what since we and a bunch of other instances are still on it) were pushing it through now

Major Changes in 0.19

  • Code block support (contributed by programming.dev)
  • Activity metrics now includes voters (contributed by programming.dev) (this is how our instance was doing it but now all instances do)
  • Reports are now resolved automatically when a post is marked as deleted
  • 2FA has been reworked ot prevent people getting locked out
  • Users can now block instances
  • Theres a new scaled sort that can be used (hot sort but takes into account community active users so it boosts low activity communities)
  • You can now remote follow instances by browsing on another site and hitting subscribe when not logged in (github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1875#issuecomme…)
