Lemmy.ca upgraded to 0.19
Hi Everyone!
We're now running the latest lemmy 0.19 release, you can see more details here: https://lemmy.ca/post/11378137
Note that you will need to re-enable 2FA on your account, all users had it turned off as part of this
You will most likely need to log out and back in for your client to work properly.
Along with the YOLO up to the new version, comes new bugs!
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4288
0.19.1 hopefully coming soon.
Time to upgrade to 0.19.1-rc1!
Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed
Aww yeah we can block instances now
This is the thing I'm happiest to see and I hope it helps Lemmy grow more. Being able to block the NSFW/porn instances is such a quality-of-life improvement. I've got nothing against porn, but it's a bad look if anyone can see your screen and every third post is nudity (even if it's blurred).
Thank you for hosting us!
Note that Jerboa 0.50 which is still the latest in the Play Store is broken with Lemmy 0.19. The newly released 0.53 should work but it's not on the stores yet.
Suggestion:
Check that the compatible Jerboa version is on the Play Store before upgrading Lemmy. That way non-technical users like my wife won't see breakage. Or alternatively upgrade several days after the official Lemmy release.
Yeah, lesson learned :/
I'll compile a list of apps and see how we can track which one are ready for any API breaking changes before we do the server update.
FYI Jerboa is now at v0.54 on the Play Store.
I just updated before seeing this comment. 🙌
Thank you for the upgrade. Lots of new features and truly needed features are in this release: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-12-15_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.0_-_Instance_blocking,_Scaled_sort,_and_Federation_Queue
And thank God, I can now block instances that are a nuisance.
Is there any way to turn off the gold highlight on new comments? It makes things harder to read, and it's also quite ugly.
Yea I've noticed that too, I have been refreshing the page to get rid of them
Gold? Looks more like the color of baby poop. It's both ugly and difficult to read the text upon it.
Sigh... Here's hoping darkly gets a better highlight color.
Try the different themes maybe?
I am using Lemmy.ca without loading any different themes, and it looks like the ugly gold does not
highlight new comments anymore. Did the admin team change something?
The only remaining ugly-gold comments I have seen are ones that have the admin shield on them.
Edit: Never mind, this comment now shows as ugly-gold for me, as did another that I saw that was 8 minutes old.
old.lemmy.ca is having issues with the update as well. voting doesn't seem to always work, and I couldn't post from it. Not a huge deal, there's always the normal mode.
Thanks, also added a mention in the sidebar, and I'll update the banner on the frontpage when something changes.
Yeah might take a bit for those apps to be patched
This one should work now.
Seems to be so far, thanks!
I left old.lemmy.ca to upvote you.
You can go back to it now, it's been updated :)
I am really liking Scales, Auto Expand Media, and Open in new Tab. Very nice QoL improvements.
I got Jerboa 0.0.54 via the Play Store. F-Droid seems to still be on 0.0.52.
The Subscribed view consistently fails to load additional posts. When I tried to add a screenshot to this post it gave me an "incorrect_login" toast. Adding text seems fine. 🤔
Adding a pic via the web app works fine:
It seems like they were both fixed today:
They haven't been released yet.
And now w patiently await 0.0.55 to reach the stores.
Aaand released:
Uploading images works. So does the Subscribed view.
It looks like this concludes the saga of the 0.19 release and Jerboa. 😅
F-Droid seems to still be on 0.0.52
You may need to update you repositories. It's been on .54 for a couple days.
[edit] Scratch that, I had added a repo which had the updated version sooner and forgot about it.
Auto expand media is awesome! Shitpost scrolling on the desktop just got elevated.
Thanks!
Voyager on Android completely lost my login credentials on update, which is weird. I had to re-add my account. Working fine now though! :)
The highlight on new comments is ugly as sin. Do not want.
It's absolutely atrocious, and it reduces the contrast, making things harder to read.
Me not knowing wtf you guys are talking about with this ugly gold thing that has never shown on my jerboa program on my phone
That was fast, I'm glad the update (appears to have) went smoothly. Thanks for keeping things running for us.
Edit: Damn, those usage statistics look way different when tracked in the reddit fashion. I guess that stands to reason, 90% lurkers (other than up/downvoting) is pretty standard.
Clearing app data and updating to Jerboa v.54 fixed my problems logging into lemmy.ca. Glad to see the new features. I can finally put lemmynsfw.com to rest from my feed.
Looks like this update may have broken access on Eternity for android.
0.19 changes the login process so apps need to update. Most have from what I've heard. You'll also need to log out and log back in on any apps after the update.
That fixed it, thanks!
Cool!
However, I notice upvote/downvote and community block actions appear to break when using old.lemmy.ca on desktop (guess whomever maintains that theme has work to do.. just noting here).
EDIT: Whoops, my bad for not reading further down, others have reported. Thanks.
mlmym (old.lemmy.ca) has been updated, should be fixed now.
Hooray! Thank you devs!
Excellent!
It’s causing problems with Memmy on iOS, with spurious errors. Even though Memmy’s store page says the fix a month ago was in preparation for this new release. I logged out and re authenticated and it seems to be ok.
Thanks for the info, hopefully that helps other Memmy users out there <3
Since this update i haven't been able to log back into liftoff. Any solution to that yet? It says "instance not found" when I put in lemmy.ca
Liftoff hasn't seen an updated release in months, and unfortunately it won't work again until it does. It's a good excuse to try some alternative clients...I've switched to Voyager for now and have been really happy with it so far.
Works great in Thunder!
Way to go, thanks guys!
There seems to be an issue with uploading large images. I don't know if anyone else has noticed it but I'm getting the error when trying to upload wallpapers to /c/wallpapers. I think it might be related to file size? Or maybe file format? It's a 13MB .png file. I don't remember running into issues with the old version when posting similar content.
Can't log into alex.lemmy.ca .
I wouldn't be surprised if the various front ends won't need to be updated. The mobile apps do, I imagine from the 2FA changes?
it looks like it's not yet compatible with 0.19: https://github.com/sheodox/alexandrite/issues/85#issuecomment-1806852902
Alexandrite has been updated to work with 0.19, you should be able to sign in now.
