Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.
@Neshura87 submitted the first ever RFC for Lemmy! It describes how post tags can be implemented.
0.19.0 is getting closer and closer to release, but we are still busy squashing bugs and getting lemmy-ui ready. For now there is another release candidate deployed on voyager.lemmy.ml for testing. Here is the full list of changes since the last release candidate for Lemmy and lemmy-ui
@nutomic fixed a bug with following local communities in the release candidate. He added a first integration test for image uploads.
@dessalines has been busy updating lemmy-ui to account for Lemmy API changes, and squashing various bugs like an issue with timezone db migrations, adding a creator_is_admin field to Post and Comment views.
@SleeplessOne1917 has implemented support for settings import/export in lemmy-ui, as well as some bug fixes.
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. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.
you mean because the 3rd party apps don't support it yet?
Mostly compatibility issues with 0.18 but 3rd party apps are problem too.
I wrote a proxy specifically for that: https://github.com/maxpoulin64/lemmy-api-compat
@iso@lemy.lol If that's the main problem you have with it, this will make third party apps work.
OMG it makes so much sense, I’ll definitely try it. Thanks ❤️
