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.

@snan fixed parent comment linking when not showing context in lemmy-ui in #2417.

@matc-pub fixed deselecting community/creator filter for search form in #2416.

@aeharding fixed incorrectly escaped user data export JSON in lemmy-ui.

@kroese added a fix for the pictrs image mode setting.

@richardj added a comment margin to lemmy-ui.

@tracyspace fixed unecessarily duped notifications.

@jim-taylor-business added ignoring lemmy config based on an ENV var. Has also been working on lemmy-ui-leptos.

@dullbananas optimized set featured posts, added more test coverage.

@SleeplessOne1917 added url blocking and post hiding to lemmy-ui and has, more generally, been preparing lemmy-ui to support the 0.19.4 features added to the backend. He has also been working on lemmy-ui-leptos.

@dessalines added alt text and custom thumbnail to lemmy-ui. Fixed private message sort order. Fixed the docker release.. Partially fixed custom thumbnail updates.. Fixed a bug where comment notifs wouldn't be sent to blocked instances.. Changed defaults on user vote display mode to upvotes + downvotes. Converted many Result<..., LemmyError> into LemmyResult. #4614.

@nutomic added metadata and thumbnail fetching in the background. Added caching of LocalSite::read. Added ignoring of old federated post edits.. Changed exponential backoff for federation sends.. Added a test for fetching from a local url. Fixed a wrongly merged breaking change related to public_key, and reduced api cache duration.

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. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.

My favourite is the alt text support. I love seeing Lemmy being inclusive and accessible to all.

Thx! Yep it wasn't too difficult to add, and it'll be in the next release.

Not a Lemmy dev, and I invite them to correct me, but...

As a heads up, over the last couple of days, the server and client repos have been tagging beta releases, so the next Lemmy release might be just around the corner too!

XMPP addresses as an alternative to Matrix?
