@dessalines:

  • Prettied up https://join.lemmy.ml/apps , which now shows lemmur and remmel at the top.
  • Went through and added more accessibility support to lemmy (#170), as well as a script to check lemmy's most common pages using pa11y. Special thanks to hlanser at NLNet and Mitch Lillie for their guidance and help with this.
  • Fixed RSS links to use Lemmy URL instead of the optional post link.
  • Added correct char counting for display name length limits.
  • Made a PR to add a New Comments / forum sort for posts.
  • Added an Icon and Spinner component to lemmy. #172
  • Always showing the reset password link. #176

Changes from 0.9.7:

  • Posts and comments are no longer live-sorted (meaning most content should stay in place).
  • Fixed an issue with the create post title field not expanding when copied from iframely suggestion.
  • Fixed broken federated community paging / sorting.
  • Added some aria attributes for accessibility, thx to Mitch Lillie.
  • Updated translations and added croatian.

@nutomic:

I am moving to a new apartment this weekend, so I couldn't focus on work that much, and only got some smaller tasks done.

  • Various changes for compliance with ActivityPub standard:
    • Store activitypub endpoints in database (!162)
    • Made activitypub extension fields optional (!163)
    • Explicitly mark posts and comments as public (!167)
  • Made some progress towards getting Lemmy to run on newer Rust versions
  • Move routes into separate crate to speed up compilation (!166)
  • Hide followed communities from other users (!168)

  1. ๐Ÿคฏ
  2. Totally get that point, but also can see the point in posting a pdf or editable graphics format. Maybe something like IPFS...
    2.1 as an admin I also see a possible danger of rouge file uploads, in the future a moderation tool might come in handy, already had to manually delete some stuff uploaded by nazis by hand. will drop an issue for it if that makes sense.
  3. yeah I know, but it keeps sliding down in priority and I see it as a selling feature for my facebook groups locked-in movement

We do have an open issue for perma-deletes, including for pictures. Ya that's definitely a thing we've had to do manually a few times, but it'd be nice to have a way for admins to do this in the UI.

We just have a lot on our plate, and the migration to diesel that took pretty much all last month was a precursor required for private communities. There's just two of us so it takes time :smiling face:

Oh one more thing I was meant to ask (for the future) is the possibility to expose points/carma. I can see some work around that in the repo, but not sure how it translates to end users. I mean both directly in the UI and in the API. I get why one might not like this system, but in some cases some positive reinforcement might come in handy, and I've got some other long term plans for it :]

And yeah, I know it's just the two of you, and admire your work. Very happy it happened at the exact time I was finally making a decision to pick a system for something I wanted to set up as nothing could come closer to the ideal solution. And as far as my comments might come of as nagging, it's really well intended in support of the dev process and help free some people from the corporate rabbit hole. I'm looking forward to every release changelog like it's christmass xD

Total points are already exposed in the API but we don't show them in the front end to prevent karma farming.

No probs.
