Announcements

Good luck!

First thing I will do in Lemmy 0.19 is block Metas threads.... Or maybe wait a while and see what kid of shit starts coming in and then block.

Thanks for a heads up!

Could you also please list UTC (aka GMT) times for server announcements?

UTC time can be understood by people all around the world, as it is an international standard, and it is legible for Europeans, too, being just one to two hours less than CET. Besides, not even whole Europe lives by CET, and it introduces DST which makes it even more of a headache to track, while UTC is always stable.

Oh, and for the info, UTC time of an update is 10:00 am.

Why not today?

Using FF on PC if I come to the community directly there's no sort type that shows this announcement. The only way I can get here is by hopping into your profile and looking at the posts you've made.

Got a changelog anywhere?

We are now on Lemmy 0.19.1 actually, not 0.19.

We noticed there was a critical bug fix for outgoing federation and decided to get that into the update also. It came out yesterday so instead of having another downtime, we decided to go directly to that version.

One of the most interesting features in this release is of course the ability for users to block instances. If you want to try that out, go to your Settings in the web interface (maybe its also supported on some mobile apps), and click the Blocks tab. Here you will see all kinds of blocking you can do:

Can be nice to clean up your feed from stuff you dont want to see.

Ever since the upgrade I keep getting logged out randomly. Probably not your fault, as this seems to happen on other instances too that upgraded to 0.19, but it’s kinda annoying.
