Version 0.18.0-rc.8

Not too long now until lemmy-0.18.0 gets released.

Looks like Captchas have been restored after they been initially removed from 0.18.X and then removed again. It’s getting funny!

Latest Backend (BE) Release Candidate (RC)

Latest Frontend (UI) Release Candidate (RC)

TL;DR: lemmy-0.18.0 has been released without support for Captchas 💣

    I have the feeling that 0.18.0 will not get released until captchas have be restored.

    Nutomic – Based on this feedback I agree that captchas should be restored. They are far from perfect, but its still better than allowing account creation with a simple POST request. There are other options but captcha is already supported in lemmy-ui, and will be faster to reimplement.

      Ouch, lemmy.ml has installed 0.18.0-rc.6 and so far there are no further commits to main. We appear to be very close to the first 0.18.X release while captchas have not been restored yet.

      Dessalines announces 0.18.0 release for tomorrow

      Also my post created on lemmy.world does not appear to be updated on lemmy.wtf or rather no updates to posts and comments seem to be pushed at all.

      I seriously hope that lemmy is soon going into a consolidation phase

      • in which development is mainly focused on fxing bugs and updating documentaion
      • and administration is mainly focused on stability and cooperation between instances

        Yea, the delay is huge. I’ve also seen some comments suddenly showing up on lemmy.wtf from lemmy.world that are hours old.

          I sometimes pull them by searching for them using the lemmy.world URL on my lemmy.wtf account. Those pulled comments then show up on lemmty.wtf with 0 votes …

            But this only works for new comments, i. e. I cannot pull changes to existing comments. This whole federation thing is pretty broken, if you ask me.

              It is, but it’s still in early development.

              I hope they also will change the way instances discover each other. It’s silly that you would need to subscribe to every single community on another instance, before they show up in search on your own instance.
