Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

Yesterday we released Lemmy 0.19.2, which included various federation fixes, as well as a way for admins to view votes.

@phiresky fixed a federation loop bug, and worked on lemmy-federation-state, a tool to help visualize federation status.

@sleepless fixed a lemmy-ui theming issue, as well as an issue with lemmy-ui’s error pages.

@dessalines fixed an issue with resolving reports, added the ability for admins to view votes to prevent downvote trolling, upgraded our woodpecker-ci to 2.1, and helped fix various CI issues, and is adding comment and post removing to jerboa.

@nutomic is fixing an issue with mastodon follows, working on local-only communities, fixed an issue with the lemmy-stats-crawler, fixed an issue with cache-control headers, better handling of federated reports from mastodon and kbin, and much more.

@dullbananas is fixing up some Lemmy DB triggers, adding a better-organized cursor-based pagination library, and a query plan viewer.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.
