Its been a long time coming 🥳 .
Excerpt from the link:
Major Changes
Language Tags
Content can now be tagged to indicate the language it is written in. These tags can be used to filter content, so that you only see posts in languages which you actually understand. Instances and communities can also specify which languages are allowed, and prevent posting in other languages.
In the future this will also allow for integrated translation tools.
Comment trees
Lemmy has changed the way it stores comments, in order to be able to properly limit the comments shown to a maximum depth.
Included are proper comment links (/comment/id
), where you can see its children, a count of its hidden children, and a context button to view its parents, or the post.
Featured posts
Admins and mods can now “feature” (this used to be called “sticky” ala reddit) posts to the top of either a community, or the top of the front page. This makes possible announcement and bulletin-type posts.
Special thanks to @makotech for adding this feature.
Federation
Lemmy users can now be followed. Just visit a user profile from another platform like Mastodon, and click the follow button, then you will receive new posts and comments in the timeline.
Votes are now federated as private. This prevents other platforms from showing who voted on a given post, and it also means that Lemmy now counts votes from Mastodon.
This release also improves compatibility with Pleroma. If you previously had trouble interacting between Pleroma and Lemmy, give it another try.
We’ve extracted the main federation logic into its own library, activitypub-federation-rust. It is open source and can be used by other projects to implement Activitypub federation, without having to reinvent the wheel. The library helps with handling HTTP signatures, sending and receiving activities, fetching remote objects and more.
Other changes
- Admins can now purge content and pictures from the database.
- Mods can distinguish a comment, “stickying” it to the top of a post. Useful for mod messages and announcements.
- Number of new / unread comments are now shown for each post.
- Lemmy now automatically embeds videos from Peertube, Youtube and other sites which provide an embed link via Opengraph attribute.
- You can give your site “taglines”, short markdown messages, which are shown at the top of your front page. Thanks to @makotech for adding this.
- You can now report private messages.
- Most settings have been moved from the config file into the database. This means they can be updated much easier, and apply immediately without a restart.
- When setting up a new Lemmy instance, it doesn’t create a default community anymore. Instead this needs to be done manually.
- Admins can choose to receive emails for new registration applications.
- An upgrade of diesel to v2.0, our rust -> postgres layer.

Does it work in comments from Lemmy accounts?
@jakob
hmmm… no image in comments…
@jakob @jakob Cool!
@nutomic@lemmy.ml here on THIS comment, i can not create a comment, using “Deutsch”. I get the error
Now i create it with “English” (look at the screenshot), and it works.
@nutomic@lemmy.ml Here is the WARN-Message from lemmy-Container

This appeared exactly when i got the error-message in lemmi UI.
I’ve set “English” and “German” as Languages in Admin-Panel.
The problem is that languages on your instance’s version of /c/announcements are also limited to English and German for some reason. I thought this might be a bug in that the site languages would also apply to remote communities, but I cant reproduce that. One thing you can check is go into the db, and make sure that
select * from local_site;
returns exactly one column. Then take the value ofsite_id
and runselect * from site where id = **site_id**;
. This should show the domain and other data of your instance.Anyway you should be able to solve it by refetching the community to your instance (by pasting the community url in the search field). If it worked then
curl "https://lemmy.schuerz.at/api/v3/community?id=46" | jq.discussion_languages
should output an empty array.@jakob
Which error do you get with German?
@nutomic
@dessalines@lemmy.ml And here, i tried to answer with setting “Deutsch” too, the same as just before:
and i geht this:
