We are running the latest release candidate for Lemmy, version 0.19.0-rc.1. This release candidate includes many changes.

Every release comes with its own challenges; however, it resolves previous ones. We hope this release will resolve a longstanding issue with sync not working, causing a lot of manual work from the admins to keep things in sync.

Please let us know if you experience any weird behavior.

Some known issues so far are:

  • HTML entities characters in posts bodies (Changing & to &)
  • The spoiler tag crashes the site if used in the sidebar
  • Mobile apps are borked again

Update 10/25/2023

  • We are now running release candidate 3.

    We are tracking the progress of the 3rd party apps on this post: https://discuss.online/post/1294119

    tl;dr; App developers need to update to the new API of Lemmy 0.19. Breaking changes were made by the core team.

    We decided to update before all the fixes were released for the apps for several reasons:

    • We want to push app developers to release updates quick
    • We want to help support Lemmy core development by testing changes and releases
    • We had major issues with the previous version and though the trade of new issues was worth it

      It’s been a month and Sync doesn’t support it. So much for that idea. Centralization wins again.

      That said, the web interface is pretty good on my Tab S7.
