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.

Upgrade instructions
Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker. There are no config or API changes with this release.
If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.
Is there a way - as a user - to block/ignore whole instances instead of only single communities?
If not there are clients that do this already.
Phone apps are doing it, but not sure if that is part of the base functionality. (I use Connect and I can block users, communities or instances.)
