Hey, a friend of mine, dterror@gmail, is having difficulty getting their account working to contribute some of their antics to Dormi.zone. They tried signing up and it tells them 'Registration application denied' when they try to sign it. They've said that they don't have an option to contact the mods themselves so I'm posting here.

Title, the banner is stuck on Dante and we're already 3 updates ahead, considering it's a major one it looks pretty bad to have it outdated

Hello everyone! When this post is about 24 hours old, dormi.zone will be offline for multiple hours to upgrade Lemmy to version 0.19.3.

This version introduces instance blocking for users and improves post ranking and two-factor-authentication.

Be advised that this update will disable 2FA for all users who currently have it enabled.

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

The last two weeks had these changes merged:

@Sleepless added a field so that users can see if they've been banned from a community. Has been refactoring Lemmy's exports to make them more easily used by 3rd party libraries, such as their lemmy-client-rs , and lemmy-ui-leptos. Added an animated avatar setting for users.

Has also been making improvements to lemmy-ui such as fixing a scroll bug, and [hiding WYSIWYG buttons on p

Merry Tennobaum everyone!

A little more than a week ago, Lemmy 0.19 was released; you can read more here.

As of now, outgoing federation is broken with this version of Lemmy, even after an attempted fix in version 0.19.1. View the related GitHub issue here.

Because of this, dormi.zone will remain on its current Lemmy version (0.18.5) for now. I'll keep you posted on any further plans.

Important: Lemmy 0.19 introduces a new implementation of 2FA. Once dormi.zone upgrades to a newer Lemmy version, 2FA will be disabled on everyone's accounts. This is intended to give back access to any account you might have lost due to 2FA issues.

Tenno! When this post is 19 hours old, dormi.zone will be undergoing technical maintenance and may be unavailable for several hours.

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

We published a new release candidate for Lemmy 0.19.0. Note that this so-called release candidate is really a beta. In the future we will use more appropriate version names.

Most importantly it includes the new feature to export user settings, and later import them on another instance.

The Docker image was changed from Alpine to Debian which should improve stability and performance (#3972). This unfortunately broke ARM builds, so we'd need some assistance getting them working again for debian.

The remaining changes are mostly minor improvements and bug fixes, you can see them in the [full changelog](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/compare/0.19.0-rc.1.

Sorry if this isn't the right community to post to, I'm not sure where to ask this very specific question.

I want to subscribe to certain communities on @literatur.cafe. Nothing nasty, just book related communities.

When I use the search all I can find is the meta-community of that instance.

What can I do to find and subscribe to the communties hosted on that instance?

We are slowly getting closer to the 0.19 release, although there is still a lot of work left. Client developers should read this post with information about breaking changes to update their projects.

@nutomic has closed over 100 issues, most of them duplicates, invalid or already resolved ones. He also made numerous pull requests to fix minor bugs and implement small enhancements. This includes a bug fix for federation of admin actions which was released as 0.18.5. He is also [chan

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 release fixes a problem with federation of moderation actions performed by admin accounts. Specifically there is an check when receiving remote federation actions, which is incorrectly rejecting them in some cases. The problem is fixed by this release.

There are no other changes, and no updated lemmy-ui version.

Some years ago we used to post weekly development updates to let the community know what we are working on. For some reason we stopped posting these updates, but now we want to continue giving you information every two weeks about the recent development progress. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

We've been working towards a v0.19.0 release of Lemmy, which will include several breaking API changes. Once this is ready, we'll post the these changes in dev spaces, and give app developers several weeks to support the new changes.

This week @nutomic finished implementing the block instance feature for users. It allows users to block entire instances, so that all communities from those instances will be hidden on the frontpage. Posts or comments from users of blocked instances in other communities

Major Changes

This version brings major optimizations to the database queries, which significantly reduces CPU usage. There is also a change to the way federation activities are stored, which reduces database size by around 80%. Special thanks to @phiresky for their work on DB optimizations.

The federation code now includes a check for dead instances which is used when sending activities. This helps to reduce the amount of outgoing POST requests, and also reduce server load.

In terms of security, Lemmy now performs HTML sanitization on all messages

Hi Tenno ^{and Envoys}!

Earlier today (or yesterday, I guess), I took parts of dormi.zone down for about 2 hours to assess and migitate possible damages caused by a security vulnerability in lemmy-ui (the part of Lemmy you see in your browser), see here: https://dormi.zone/post/98161
(You probably had to log in again, that's normal)

The good news is: We were never vulnerable!

The bad news: Some of you might have been a bit lost during those 2 hours.

If you were using a third-party app such as Jerboa or Liftoff, you could continue accessing dormi.zone as usual. Same if you were a user from another instance. But if you were registered on dormi.zone, you'd run into a 502 error and have no idea what's going on.

Now that I'm back from work, I've taken some steps to ensure you'll be properly informed next time:

• dormi.zone is now on Mastodon! I'll be using this account to keep you informed about outages and planned maintenance.
• When the dormi

UPDATE: Thanks to the analysis of other instance admins, it has been determined that instances without custom emojis (which includes dormi.zone) should be safe. As such, dormi.zone is now available on the web again. Expect another pinned post later today.

Below you'll find the original post.

Hello everyone,

There is currently a security vulnerability being exploited across Lemmy. Comments and other content on an instance containing custom emojis may steal your login session, see here: https://lemmy.ml/post/1895271

Due to this I have decided to partially take down dormi.zone.

Since the exploit takes place on the web UI of Lemmy, dormi.zone will be unavailable for the time being when visiting through https://dormi.zone/.

Remote users will continue to be able to interact with dormi.zone communities as normal. Users registered on dormi.zone may continue to access it using a third-party app such as Jerboa or Liftoff.

This instruction will be unavailable to anyone who isn

FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

Github Issue created here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1895

Hi everyone, the Lemmy version of dormi.zone has been updated to 0.18.1. This brings several changes, including:

• Two-Factor-Authentication
• Custom Emojis (stay tuned!)
• Ability to install dormi.zone as a Progressive Web App
• Better error pages
• different URL structures (check your dormi.zone browser bookmarks if you have any)
• Share button on posts
• performance improvements

If you notice double banners or any other theme weirdness, make sure to hard refresh dormi.zone in your browser (press CTRL+F5)!

Jerboa complains that we are not running 0.18 yet.
