HTTP API instead of Websocket
Super excited about this one. The live updates in the comments is kind of neat, but it makes trying to browse the All tab basically impossible.
I didn't see it mentioned - have they fixed the weird Hot/Active bug in this release?
Thanks @smorks for keeping this place running!
Captchas are not available in this version, as they need to be reimplemented in a different way. They will be back in 0.18.1, so wait with upgrading if you rely on them.
Is there any concern about losing captchas? Seems like the bot situation is still rampant at this point. (Shouldn't be long though for it to get added again https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3289)
lemmy.ca has closed registration and you need to write an application, so i dont think this affects us as much as a bigger / open instance
yep, exactly that.
Thanks @[email protected] for everything you do.
I know no one likes to talk about it because they think it looks cheap or desperate but I'll say it anyway.
SUPPORT YOUR LEMMY INSTANCE
I believe and it's my opinion that we should all normalize paying just a little bit to our instance operators to keep their service running. They have to pay costs for maintaining services and running hardware, the costs aren't much for a small instance but the costs grow as the system becomes popular with more users and more active users.
The more we normalize giving just a bit to our instance, the better protected they will become from burning out administrators, managers and owners who pay for the things that keep this engine running.
