Lemmy world will be upgraded to 0.18.3 today (2023-07-30) at 20:00 UTC+2

We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ““Edit”” I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we’re still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)

Redtitwhore,

Version 0.18.3 of what?

Jmr,

Of Lemmy

NausetJF,

Any idea who might be launching the ddos attacks?

astral_avocado,

Haters. Groups paid by Steve Huffman. Script kiddies. Any rich trust fund pissant with a couple hundo to spend on the dark web.

sab,

Groups paid by Steve Huffman

Any basis for this conspiracy theory?

astral_avocado,

Not too much, just that it would be incredibly tempting of an option for a millionaire. Anonymously destroy your competition by paying some dark web site in Monero? Sure why not?

sab,

If that were the case, I think he would have paid a bit more and make sure it would have stayed down. No competition was destroyed here.

I think it’s Far more likely that it’s just a bunch of scriptkiddies saying “when I press button, error page goes brrrrrrr”.

iforgotmyinstance,

Thank yuuu

aquinteros,

the best server! thank you

kurky18,

Amazing job!

Thanks to you and all the dev team behind this ❤🙇🏻‍♂️

cheeseblintzes,

Thanks so much for all you do, man. I’ll get those stickers up ASAP <3

OutrageousUmpire,

Thanks as usual for the transparency, y’all.

xc2215x,

Good to see for Lemmy.

masterofballs,

I se e this UI has a bug where when you click more in the comments you get a bunch of duplicates. It’s on other instances too

Ensign_Crab,

Confirmed. I’m seeing it too.

EDIT: similar behavior on old.lemmy.world and a.lemmy.world.

AbstractLinguist,

Cool, now defederate from lemmygrad.ml

CrypticCoffee,

All the 10s of posts about this already and you think he’s going to say “oh, didn’t think about this, good idea”. Or you know it’s something that they have already made a call on and you’re just badgering and harassing them over it?

I cannot stand the tankies, but I prefer them to folk like you. I’m yet to see anothing from lemmygrad in a month on lemmy, so get over it and block it if you see it and don’t want to.

Cold_Brew_Enema,

How do you turn on endless scrolling? I’m still seeing page numbers

SportingChap,

Number 1 thing I miss from reddit w/ RES. 😫

Infinite scroll and word filtering. If I see one more post about “AI”, Musk, Twitter, or fake superconductors, I might have to get off the computer for 10 whole minutes.

Contravariant,

Word filtering is fairly easy to do if you know your way around uBlock filters.

Blamemeta,

Yeah, but I don’t

Contravariant,

Fair. It’s not too hard, but most lemmy UIs make it a bit harder than it needs to be because they want to be a fancy JavaScript-ridden mess of html tags.

On old.lemmy.world it is supremely easy, you just use the element picker tool of uBlock to select all posts, add the ‘magic’ command :contains(reddit) to filter out the word you don’t want (in this case reddit), and you’ve got your filter. This would result in old.lemmy.world##.post:contains(reddit).

On lemmy.world it is trickier because it is the kind of HTML no sane person would write. Doing the above you end up with lemmy.world##div.mt-2.post-listing:contains(reddit) which is messy, and misses a line that is used to divide the posts. With some manual tuning you can first simplify the first part to ##.post-listing:contains(reddit) and then add :xpath(.|following::hr[1]) to get rid of the annoying line. This results in ##.post-listing:contains(reddit):xpath(.|following::hr[1]).

Blamemeta,

Oh is it literally just css selectors, but with a slightly different syntax? Fuck me, I never looked into it and assumed it was nonsense.

Contravariant,

The extra syntax is just to add some features that aren’t in CSS. Not quite sure where this came from, I think it’s from the Adblock Plus era, but Gorhill perfected it for uBlock origin, which makes it a very powerful tool.

It’s not limited to just hiding the elements either, if you want you can simply restyle them (I’ve used this to redact sports results until I hovered over them).

kazerniel,

I want to be able to ban/hide entire servers. Regularly seeing lemmynsfw celebrity communities pop up in All/Hot :| (I have nsfw disabled, so it’s just generic photos of random women.)

Also an option would be nice to hide downvoted posts, I had that on in RES.

Blamemeta,

Block the user “madness”, its literally one guy posting that shit.

@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

maybe now, but if Lemmy grows that will be a good feature to have.

drdabbles,
@drdabbles@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, I hid celebrities, 196, and a bunch of other communities so I wouldn’t have to scroll through it. But certainly I see where ignoring an entire federated host would be helpful.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

The Connect app ( !lemmyconnect) has both word filters and instance-blocking, I believe.

kazerniel,

Thanks, but I’m a PC only user.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Keep an eye on !alexandrite which is being developed as a Desktop-first Lemmy client. Someone already requested instance-blocking there. Not sure about word filters but why not ask?

kazerniel,

thanks!

Odo,

Scroll down to the bottom of your user settings and untick the box next to “Show Read Posts”. Any posts you’ve voted on, up or down, will stop showing up.

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t want to hide everything I’ve voted on.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Post hiding would be great to have.

@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

please comment here

github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/384

“mark as read” is not enough and serves a different purpose than hiding posts.

Corvid,

It’s a bit confusing. The backend added support for infinite scrolling, but lemmy-ui(the front end) hasn’t landed that change yet.

    dot20,

    It seems to be autoloading new comments, like in this thread that is long.

    Is there a way to turn this off? I don’t like infinite scroll

    Nix,

    Awesome! It’s great to see thing become snappier and better since I joined Lemmy.

    Reddit would almost never update unless it was a pants on fire situation or they would force feed features that no one wanted or even was tested properly.

    A big thank you to everyone involved, FROM those taking the time to submit bug descriptions in a reproducible manner and those making feature requests or those simply upvoting and pointing out the most needed patch/updates TO simultaneously amateur, newly minted coders and veteran developpers pushing small and big patches to fix anything from typos, reformatting old code, cleaning almost unnoticeable UI object, transition less performing backend modules or secure/harden of all these moving parts.

    I am glad to witness and be a part of the perpetual progress of the fediverse.

    Nusm,

    Maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see the option for infinite scroll anywhere. How do I add that?
