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.

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.

It is an Oracle ARM64 instance with 24GB RAM, 4 CPUs and 250GB storage. I am currently on their free tier plan, so I am only paying for the domain at the moment. But Oracle being Oracle, they could screw me at any time, so my plan is to switch to another VPS at some point. Are you planning to host anything?

oh nice !. btw which region did you choose for your oracle account. I took hyderabad and looks like ampere instances are at max capacity each time i try to create one :( . i hope you're doing regular backups, i have seen people complaining oracle flagging/taking down accounts without notice.

Yes, they will deactivate your account if you use less than 10% of your free resources on average, or for any other random reason. I signed up quite early I think, it is in the EU West (Frankfurt or Paris) region.
