We have a test instance of Lemmy 0.18.2 running with our patches on top ready for testing:
https://test.hexbear.net
Lemmy has been seeing a lot of activity recently, so this release brings with it a lot of changes (some of which we are hoping are going to fix some of the jank y'all have probably been experiencing). You can see the full list of changes here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases. This is also the release that removes websockets!
Disclaimer: Anything you post will be nuked after we're done testing, nothing is being saved from the test instance.
If you encounter a bug please let us know what happened, how we can reproduce it, and your OS & browser in the comments below. The more detail, the more likely we can fix things!
Is this the federation release? I know the last one was but we didn't federate after it because reasons. Is this the one we do federate on?
No - turns out we still have some other (smaller) changes we need to make before we federate.
