These are described in detail below. + +Special thanks to @asonix for adding [tokio-console](https://github.com/LemmyNet/Lemmy/issues/2003) and [Jaeger + opentelemetry](https://github.com/LemmyNet/Lemmy/issues/1992) to our dev setups, so we can better identify performance bottlenecks. + + +## What is Lemmy? + +[Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/) is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to communities you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote and comment on them. Lemmy isn't just a reddit alternative; its a network of interconnected communities ran by different people and organizations, all combining to create a single, personalized front page of your favorite news, articles, and memes. + +## Major Changes + +### Required email verification + +Admins can turn this on, and new users will need to verify their emails. Current users will not have to do this. + +### Registration applications + +Admins can now optionally make new users fill out an application to join your server. There is a new panel in their top bar where they can approve or deny pending applications. + +This works in conjunction with the *require_email* field. If that is also turned on, the application will only be shown after their email has been verified. The user will receive an email when they have been accepted. + +### Closed / Private instances + +The instance settings now includes a *private instance* option, which if turned on, will only let logged in users view your site. Private instances was one of our first issues, and it was a large effort, so its great to finally have this completed. + +### Temporary Bans + +When banning users from your site or community, moderators can now optionally give a number of days for the ban to last. + +### Allow comment replies from blocked users + +It used to be that if a user blocked you, you couldn't respond to their public posts and comments. This is now fixed. They won't see your content, but others can. + +## Upgrade notes + +Follow the [Docker or Ansible upgrade instructions here.](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html) + +## Support development + +If you'd like to support development, and make sure that we will always be available to work full time on Lemmy, consider [donating to support its development](https://join-lemmy.org/donate). We've spent hundreds of hours on Lemmy, and would like to be able to add more developers to our little open-source co-op as time goes on. + +## Changes + +### API + +We've removed a list of banned users from `GetSite`, added a few endpoints related to registration applications, made a few changes allowing temporary bans, site settings, made a few changes to the login response. These are non-destructive and current clients should work with this release. + +- A full list of the API changes can be seen on this diff of [lemmy-js-client: 0.14.0 -> 0.15.0](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/compare/0.14.0-rc.1...0.15.0-rc.34) . + +### Config + +There is a new rate limit for creating new comments in the [config.hjson](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/config/defaults.hjson#L36). + +### Lemmy Server + +- Adding temporary bans.
