2023-12-15 - Lemmy Release v0.19.0 - Instance blocking, Scaled sort, and Federation Queue
join-lemmy.org

The full changelog has been linked if you are interested, but I want to call out an important update (emphasis mine):

Previously 2FA was enabled in a single step which made it easy to lock yourself out. This is now fixed by using a two-step process, where the secret is generated first, and then 2FA is enabled by entering a valid 2FA token. It also fixes the problem where 2FA can be disabled without passing any 2FA token. As part of this change, 2FA is disabled for all users. This allows users who are locked out to get into their account again.

Probably not the way I would've handled it, but it's ok. Please re-enable 2FA on your account as soon as possible :)

    I think there may be problems. Looks like there is a bug with 0.19.0 that may be affecting us. I made a post in a local sub and checked later from a login to a different instance and I don't see the new post.

    0.19.0 has a critical bug where sending outgoing activities can stop working. The bug is fixed in this version. It also fixes the “hide read posts” user setting, fixes a problem with invalid comment paths, and another fix for private message reports.
