What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Major Changes

This version fixes the problem of comment context not loading properly. It also fixes a couple other bugs.

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. No one likes recurring donations, but they’ve proven to be the only way that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.

Upgrade instructions

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker. There are no config or API changes with this release.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

    Support development

    I've subscribed monthly, if you can afford it, you should too!

    There's no present danger of making the development team rich enough to dismantle the capitalist state. The funding is yet to reach normal subsistence level. You can see the sums collected in each of the platforms.

    Does anyone else have an issue where the browser back button causes Lemmy to go back twice?

    In other words, if you click "next" at the bottom of your feed, open a post and press the back button, does it return to the original page?

    Or, if you choose a sort, open a post and press the back button, does the sort get reverted?

    It started happening to me in 0.18.3, but I don't want to file a report if I'm the only one experiencing this

      When this happens, I reload, which seems to return me to where I was in the feed. It's a workaround, but it would be nice to just press the back button

      Still happens to me on chrome with the webpage. I'm using Sync almost exclusively now and it doesn't have this bug.

      Phone apps are doing it, but not sure if that is part of the base functionality. (I use Connect and I can block users, communities or instances.)

              Old lifeboat from the r/chapotraphouse banning 3 years ago. It almost instantly became the largest lemmy instance at the time and so the devs next bunch of patches were optimising so our servers weren't crash constantly. I think that state of affairs kinda maintained until the reddit blackout. Officially, it's non-sectarian leftism, but practically speaking it's a more shitposty less serious lemmygrad with way higher throughput. Also for a non-trans focused space online, it's very trans.

              The name itself was just the meme that was popular on r/cth at the time of shutdown ("Look at this dope ass bear og-hex-bear "), and there was a vote to move away from the podcast themed name.

              Because of the load and a few other things (I don't remember, I'm sure there was drama), there was a lemmy fork that only recently got reintegrated, but it means hexbear is now federated into the lemmyverse.

    any fix for the instances updated column falling out of date? or maybe expanding the window to 5 days instead of 3 days? or instances with 2 day old updated column could be rechecked daily?

    I don't think I was able to find an issue or pull request about this on Github so I haven't been able to track its progress

    I was gonna file a bug on Github but one of the required fields is a log file, but I don't currently have this issue on my own little instance

      It's not as refined as reddit but the content is better and the community can improve the UI/UX over time... At first it was a little awkward for me coming from reddit but it didn't take long for me to adjust and the diversity of people and ideas I've found on here is well worth it.
