I’m planning on upgrading lemmy to v0.18.0 tonight, probably around 9pm CDT. So there will be a bit of downtime, but I don’t think it should take too long.
Release Announcement: https://lemmy.ca/post/862306
edit: kids baseball game went long, should start around 10pm CDT.
edit2: going to start in about 5 minutes. 9:55pm CDT.
edit3: looks like we’re updated. let me know if you notice any issues!
Thanks @smorks@lemmy.ca for everything you do.
I know no one likes to talk about it because they think it looks cheap or desperate but I’ll say it anyway.
SUPPORT YOUR LEMMY INSTANCE
I believe and it’s my opinion that we should all normalize paying just a little bit to our instance operators to keep their service running. They have to pay costs for maintaining services and running hardware, the costs aren’t much for a small instance but the costs grow as the system becomes popular with more users and more active users.
The more we normalize giving just a bit to our instance, the better protected they will become from burning out administrators, managers and owners who pay for the things that keep this engine running.
thank you @ininewcrow@lemmy.ca! it’s greatly appreciated!
It’s great to see all the changes they’re making and that the devs are listening to community feedback. Looks like the community is also helping out a lot with all the shoutouts in that post!
HTTP API instead of Websocket
Super excited about this one. The live updates in the comments is kind of neat, but it makes trying to browse the All tab basically impossible.
I didn’t see it mentioned - have they fixed the weird Hot/Active bug in this release?
Thanks @smorks for keeping this place running!

From what I’ve been able to see using lemmy.ml (they are on 0.18 already), the sorting seems to be fixed, hot/active works as expected, and there are other sorting options available, too.
I’m really looking forward to 0.18 on lemmy.ca!
Sounds good. Keep up the good work!
yay two-factor authentication
Came here to check when this instance was updating, thanks for running it!
