This is starting to feel like a regular thing, but we're now on 0.18.2.

Release notes are here - https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-07-11_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.18.2

Do people value me posting this each time we upgrade? Should I continue? Edit: answer is yes!

Absolutely yes!

[–] Sturgist 5 points 2 years ago

I second this

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

It’s nice to know that’s for sure.

[–] Mereo 18 points 2 years ago

Please continue!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Good stuff! Thank you.

[–] kia 6 points 2 years ago

I find it useful!

[–] troyunrau 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If these announcements wreck the SNR, just move it to !meta -- but for now, we appreciate the updates :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

This is a good suggestion, as it is more relevant for folks on lemmy.ca than other instances.

[–] mintiefresh 4 points 2 years ago

Definitely nice to know.

[–] aedyr 4 points 2 years ago

Definitely yes. I enjoy seeing the technical and administrative updates.

[–] Kyle 4 points 2 years ago

Yes! How else can we be notified of upgrades? It also explains when things look or work differently, so I appreciate it.

[–] Luci 3 points 2 years ago

No harm in letting us know.

[–] pglpm 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If it's not too much of a burden, it's nice to know; at least while it's on the "0."-phase. Also because we can keep an eye open for bugs in the new versions when we're warned.

Thank you for all the continuous amazing work! 🥇

More information is great. Thank you for keeping us updated.

Thanks! I wish there were better web UI options (not just themes). Voyager is neat for mobile, but isn't great for desktop browsing. I hope more tools or alternative UIs popup (or even something like RES for lemmy).

Mobile apps are coming. Personally I was a long time sync user, so I'm excited for Sync for lemmy.

You can run android apps on Windows now I think.

[–] anonymoose 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I love the mobile apps we have already, I'm using Connect and Voyager (wefwef). I'm personally waiting for Boost for Lemmy, then it'll be like the good old days again!

On desktop though, the UI leaves a lot to be desired. I can't block communities on the feed or hide posts, for instance. Apps on Windows would have worked, but the UI is usually optimized for small touchscreens, which isn't great. I'm sure the UI on desktop will improve soon.
