Local communities are an interesting concept, though I am concerned about unintended side effects. I have noticed many times that people from other instances chime in to meta-communities to provide some alternative viewpoints and context when instances are discussing interactions with the rest of the network. I worry that some will become too isolated/sheltered. But I suppose, in the end, that’s ultimately up to the individual instances to decide.
Lemmy can now federate with Wordpress, Discourse and NodeBB.
Increased federation capabilities is always awesome to see!
In order to improve interoperability with Mastodon and other microblogging platforms, Lemmy now automatically includes a hashtag with new posts. The hashtag is based on the community name, so posts to /c/lemmy will automatically have the hashtag #lemmy. This makes Lemmy posts much easier to discover.
This is a clever solution. I think this is a good way to go about it.
RSS feeds now include post thumbnail and embedded images.Security
I really appreciate the continued attention given to keep RSS alive.
A security audit was recently performed on Lemmy.
Awesome! And congrats!
Added Community local_subscribers count
Support for custom post thumbnail
Indicate to user when they are banned from community
Added alt_text for image posts
Great features for improving the polish and user experience on Lemmy!
Amanhã a partir das 23h vou começar o upgrade da instancia para a 0.19.4
Esse upgrade muda a versão do banco de dados e do servidor de imagens, então vai ser critica.
Envolve a migração do banco de dados e pode dar 💩. Hahaha. Mas provavelmente domingo de manhã já vai estar tudo normal.
So I want to make the Mastodon experience with Lemmy a bit easy experience.
As of the moment they are just marked as groups but I feel it needs another indicator that it is a forum based account instead of just 'group'... Will try and see if there's something I can auto-do in Mastodon itself.
