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.

- Open Collective

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.
Did someone say LemmyCoin?
No. 😅
Thank you guys, you are amazing!
No probs!
This version fixes the problem of comment context not loading properly.
All I came here to see, thanks.
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
I tried it and if I click next, I go to page 2. Then I open a post and click the back button on the browser. And then I’m back on page 2, as expected.
Also tried to switch sorting method and it remembers the sorting method when I go back from a post as expected.
I think probably you have some plugin that is interfering. Try with another browser or a clean browser profile.
I can reproduce it on Android in Firefox Nightly, but not in incognito mode (even while logged in). It happens in Chromium as well, including in incognito mode
In Firefox, I’ve tried disabling all add-ons and tracking protection and clearing cache and cookies, to no avail
I could test on other phones and operating systems, but I don’t really want to spend more time on this. It’s not that big of an issue for me
Hmm. That’s really weird. Hopefully someone else in this thread can test also so we get more info.
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
Me too. I also open most posts in new tabs
More annoying to do on mobile (desktop is just middle click)
Yes, this and the broken comment context has made browsing seriously painful
Oh, so It’s not just me. I’ll do what I can to find the cause
Still happens to me on chrome with the webpage. I’m using Sync almost exclusively now and it doesn’t have this bug.
Feature request: an option to aggregate all comments of crossposted posts. It would save manually going through each crosspost
put it in the github
I updated https://lemmy.today this morning and no problems at all.
We are a small instance but still wanted to post this. Maybe it calms the nerves for some instance owners. :)
Oopsie woopsie yo instance is down 🫤
Nah, i just forgot the s in https in the link i posted. :)
Fixed it now, thank you.
You’re welcome. May I suggest to redirecting http to https? Even default nginx conf doing that as I remember.
Edit: It didnt do a redirect by default. :) Will fix that.
I don’t want to bother you more but I tried it on my phone, with a browser I never use, it shows nginx page 🤔 FYI
You dont bother me, this is very interesting actually…
You still get this default nginx page?
Yep. I tried with a web proxy too.
Is there a chance you forgot reloading nginx?
🥳 Thanks to all involved.
👍👍

Thank Stallman. You guys rock!
thanks for the arm builds, I am currently using
masquernya/lemmy-arm64.gitfor arm builds. How do you handle the lemmy-translations update in your build pipeline for lemmy-ui?I do not see you doing the following, or did I miss something
# manual updates cd lemmy-translations/; git checkout "$TRANSLATION_COMMIT" || exit 1;also do you have to trigger the build manually when a new lemmy version is out ?
You can run
git submodule update, then it will pull the same translations as specified in the lemmy repo. Or rungit submodule update --remote, then it will pull the latest commit from lemmy-translations.Thanks, so my pipeline should be fine in the sense that it uses the commit of the submodule, stored in the version tagged lemmy commit
I just tested it, submodule init+update pulls the latest commit of submodules, this could be different from the commit used in the tagged release version
Thanks, I’ll have a look at it, but if you’re faster I’m happy about a PR :)
This not a big problem I guess, if anything it gives you the latest translations 🙂
Thank you for this.
Could we get some more feature parity in the old.lemmy by chance? There’s no ability to block users, and you should be able to block a group without going into it first. (Let’s give you an example here. You don’t wanna see horse porn. It shows up in /c/ALL. You have to… VISIT the horse porn group, in order to block it…)
Those alternative lemmy interfaces are made by other volunteers IIRC
That’s developed by a third party so you’ll have to ask them.
You can block users / communities in lemmy-ui by going to their profile.
You can block users / communities in lemmy-ui by going to their profile.
I’m not the user you’re responding to and don’t use the ui they’re talking about, but going to those profiles can be more upsetting than the original comment or post, especially if it’s set up with large images or gifs. It’d be a lot nicer if blocking could be done from other places, too.
You can also block / report them from their comments / posts.
Ah, I see that for users now. Thanks! Would still be nice to be able to block communities from afar, too, fwiw.
Create an issue here https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
Here’s a link to the source, where you may be able to submit a feature request: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
Where’s the best place for feature requests? Would love to see a nicer way to subscribe to communities.
Best place would likely be their Github issues section, here’s the one for Lemmy backend/server, and here’s the one for Lemmy-ui for UI/frontend requests which is what you’re looking for.

Thanks for the hard work. I’ve cancelled my Patreon and switched to Liberapay.
Removed by mod
Is it just me or is lemmy-ui broken in 0.18.4 docker image? When I upgraded my instance, the UI was not loading properly.
After upgrading it usually takes a couple minutes to work. After refreshing it should work again
