+# Lemmy v0.17.0 Release (2023-01-31)
+
+## What is Lemmy?
+
+Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.
+
+## Major Changes
+
+### Language Tags
+
+Content can now be tagged to indicate the language it is written in. These tags can be used to filter content, so that you only see posts in languages which you actually understand. Instances and communities can also specify which languages are allowed, and prevent posting in other languages.
+
+In the future this will also allow for integrated translation tools.
+
+### Comment trees
+
+Lemmy has changed the way it stores comments, in order to be able to properly limit the comments shown to a maximum depth.
+
+Included are proper comment links (`/comment/id`), where you can see its children, a count of its hidden children, and a _context_ button to view its parents, or the post.
+
+### Featured posts
+
+Admins and mods can now "feature" (this used to be called "sticky" ala reddit) posts to the top of either a community, or the top of the front page. This makes possible announcement and bulletin-type posts.
+
+Special thanks to @makotech for adding this feature.
+
+### Federation
+
+Lemmy users can now be followed. Just visit a user profile from another platform like Mastodon, and click the follow button, then you will receive new posts and comments in the timeline.
+
+Votes are now federated as private. This prevents other platforms from showing who voted on a given post, and it also means that Lemmy now counts votes from Mastodon.
+
+This release also improves compatibility with Pleroma. If you previously had trouble interacting between Pleroma and Lemmy, give it another try.
+
+We've extracted the main federation logic into its own library, [activitypub-federation-rust](https://github.com/LemmyNet/activitypub-federation-rust). It is open source and can be used by other projects to implement Activitypub federation, without having to reinvent the wheel. The library helps with handling HTTP signatures, sending and receiving activities, fetching remote objects and more.
+
+### Other changes
+
+- Admins can now purge content and pictures from the database.
+- Mods can _distinguish_ a comment, "stickying" it to the top of a post. Useful for mod messages and announcements.
+- Number of new / unread comments are now shown for each post.
+- Lemmy now automatically embeds videos from Peertube, Youtube and other sites which provide an embed link via Opengraph attribute.
+- You can give your site "taglines", short markdown messages, which are shown at the top of your front page. Thanks to @makotech for adding this.
+- You can now report private messages.
+- Most settings have been moved from the config file into the database. This means they can be updated much easier, and apply immediately without a restart.
+- When setting up a new Lemmy instance, it doesn't create a default community anymore. Instead this needs to be done manually.
+- Admins can choose to receive emails for new registration applications.
+- An upgrade of diesel to v2.0, our rust -> postgres layer.
+- Too many bugfixes to count, they are listed below.
+
+## Upgrade instructions
+
+This upgrade requires a newer version of postgres, which **must be done manually**. Do not try to use Ansible.
+
+`cd` to your lemmy docker directory and run this helper script:
+
+```
+sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/main/scripts/postgres_12_to_15_upgrade.sh
+sudo sh postgres_12_to_15_upgrade.sh
+```
+
+This script saves a copy of your old database as `12_15.dump.sql`. **Do not delete this file until you've followed all the instructions below, and the upgrade is complete.**
+
+Next, **manually edit** your [lemmy.hjson](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/config/defaults.hjson) to account for a few breaking changes:
+
+- `pictrs_url` is removed, and the pictrs config is now a block. If using docker, it should look like:
+ ```
+ pictrs: {
+ url: "http://pictrs:8080/"
+ # api_key: "API_KEY"
+ }
+ ```
+- The `rate_limit`, `federation`, `captcha`, and `slur_filter` blocks should be removed, as they are now in the database, and can be updated through the UI.
+- The site setup has removed a few fields.
+- See the link above for every setting.
+
+Next, edit your `docker-compose.yml` file to use the newer version of lemmy and lemmy-ui.
+
+The `image` lines should look like:
+
+- `image: dessalines/lemmy:0.17.0` for lemmy
+- `image: dessalines/lemmy-ui:0.17.0` for lemmy-ui
+- The `lemmy-ui` environment variables have changed, and should now look like:
+ ```
+ environment:
+ - LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_INTERNAL_HOST=lemmy:8536
+ - LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_EXTERNAL_HOST={{ domain }}
+ - LEMMY_UI_HTTPS=true
+ ```
+- You can always find the latest version [here](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/VERSION).
+- Ensure that postgres is `postgres:15-alpine` (the upgrade script above should have already set this correctly)
+
+If you're having any problems, your docker-compose.yml should look similar to [the one from the lemmy-ansible repo](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/templates/docker-compose.yml).
+
+Finally, run `sudo docker-compose up -d`, and wait for lemmy to start up.
+
+_Note_: On production databases with thousands of comments, this upgrade **takes several hours**. If your system has problems upgrading, or you'd like to speed up the upgrade, consider tuning your postgres database using the [instructions here](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/dev/docker-compose.yml#L88). If not, just wait for the database migrations to complete, as this large migration of the `comment` table only ever needs to be run once.
+
+_Note_: If you have any issues upgrading, you can restore your old database using the [backup and restore instructions here](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/backup_and_restore.html).
+
+If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our [support forum](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support) or on the [Matrix Chat](https://matrix.to/#/!BZVTUuEiNmRcbFeLeI:matrix.org).
+
+## Support development
+
+We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for almost three years. This is largely thanks to support from [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/).
+
+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](https://join-lemmy.org/donate). No one likes recurring donations, but they've proven to be the only way that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.

## What is Lemmy?
## Support development
-We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for almost two years. This is largely thanks to support from [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/).
+We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for almost two years. This is largely thanks to support from [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/).
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.
### Hide communities
@dayinjing implemented a funcionality for instance admins to hide controversial communities. A hidden community is only visible to those users who subscribe to it. This represents a milder alternative to removing a community. This functionality is not implemented in lemmy-ui yet, but admins can hide a community like this via command line:
+
```
-curl -X PUT https://example.com/api/v3/community/hide \
+curl -X PUT https://example.com/api/v3/community/hide \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d \

-To help adoption, and since most people use social media through their smartphones nowadays, @dessalines has been working on a native android app for Lemmy called [Jerboa](https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa), which is now on [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jerboa) and [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jerboa).

It is still at an alpha level, but is very usable. We'd love to have experienced android developers contribute to it.
-This now makes three smartphone apps for Lemmy: [Lemmur and Jerboa for Android, and Remmel for iOS](https://join-lemmy.org/apps).

## Upgrade notes
### Lemmy UI
-- Rename theme files from *.min.css to *.css ([#590](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/590))
+- Rename theme files from _.min.css to _.css ([#590](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/590))
- Custom themes ([#584](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/584))
- Add option to set site default theme (fixes [#559](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/559))
- Adding nofollow to links. Fixes [#542](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/542) ([#543](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/543))
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.
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.
+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
### 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.

It took a lot of work to make this possible, so big thanks to [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl/) for funding our full time work on Lemmy, and to [@lanodan](https://queer.hacktivis.me/users/lanodan) and [@asonix](https://masto.asonix.dog/@asonix) for helping to figure out how Pleroma and Mastodon federation works (it's difficult because they have almost no documentation).

## Major Changes
### Federation code rewrite
-The rewrite of the federation code started by @nutomic in August is now mostly complete. As a result, the code is much cleaner, and has tests to guarantee no breaking changes between Lemmy versions. As a side effect of this rewrite, it was now relatively easy to enable federation with other projects.

Mastodon and Pleroma users can:
In addition, Pleroma users can exchange private messages with Lemmy users.
-Note that Pleroma and Mastodon rely on a compatibility mode in Lemmy, which means that they won't receive events like Deletes or Votes. Other projects whose federation works similar to Pleroma/Mastodon will likely also federate.

+_Note: Issue links are below._
- @nutomic did a major rewrite of the federation code. It is much simpler now, and reduced from 8000 lines of code to 6400. Functionality is mostly the same, but future changes will be much easier.
- You can now block users and communities, and their posts / comments won't show up in your feed.
- Migrate comment inReplyTo field to single value (ref [#1454](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1454))
- Fix issue with protocol string in actor id generation ([#1668](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1668))

- Various refactors.
#### API
- Federating Matrix ID.
- Many changes for better compatibility with ActivityPub standard.
-#### Database
+#### Database
- Split the `user_` into `person` and `local_user` tables.
- Strictly typed commonly used ID columns, to prevent DB errors using `i32` as ids.
- Configuration via environment variables is not supported anymore, you must have all your config in the [lemmy.hjson](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/ansible/templates/config.hjson) file ( except for `LEMMY_CONFIG_LOCATION` ).
- The config format for `allowed_instances` and `blocked_instances` has changed, and you need to adjust your config file manually:
- - before: `allowed_instances: ds9.lemmy.ml,enterprise.lemmy.ml`
- - now: `allowed_instances: ["ds9.lemmy.ml", "enterprise.lemmy.ml"]` , and only one of the `allowed_instances` or `blocked_instances` blocks can be set.

- The API has been upgraded from `v2` to `v3`, so all clients need to be updated: [lemmy-js-client: 0.9.9 -> 0.10.0](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/compare/0.9.9...0.10.0-rc.13) .

## Compilation time
-|| v0.9.0 (Rust 1.47) | v0.10.0 (Rust 1.47) | v0.10.0 (Rust 1.51) |
-|-| -------- | -------- | -------- |
-|Clean | 140s | 146s | 119s |
-| Incremental | 28s | 22s | 19s |
+| | v0.9.0 (Rust 1.47) | v0.10.0 (Rust 1.47) | v0.10.0 (Rust 1.51) |
+| ----------- | ------------------ | ------------------- | ------------------- |
+| Clean | 140s | 146s | 119s |
+| Incremental | 28s | 22s | 19s |
Despite ongoing efforts to speed up compilation, it has actually gotten slower when comparing with the same Rust version. Only thanks to improvements in newer Rust versions has our build process gotten faster. This could be simply because we added more code, while Lemmy v0.9.0 had 22.4k lines of Rust, v0.10.0 has 23.8k (an increase of 6%).
## Changes
### Lemmy backend
+
- Added an federated activity query sorting order.
- Explicitly marking posts and comments as public.
- Added a `NewComment` / forum sort for posts.
- Fixed community link wrapping.
- Various other bug fixes.
-
### Lemmy Docs
- We moved documentation into a separate git repository, and support translation for the docs now!
## Changes
-We've been working at warp speed since our `v0.7.0` release in June, adding over [870 commits](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/compare/v0.7.0...main) since then. :sweat:

-- The first **federation public beta release**, woohoo :fireworks:
+- The first **federation public beta release**, woohoo :fireworks:
- All Lemmy functionality now works over ActivityPub (except turning remote users into mods/admins)
- Instance allowlist and blocklist
- Documentation for [admins](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration_federation.html) and [devs](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributing_federation_overview.html) on how federation works
### User Interface
- Separated the UI from the server code, in [lemmy-ui](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui).
-- The UI can now read with javascript disabled!
+- The UI can now read with javascript disabled!
- It's now a fully isomorphic application using [inferno-isomorphic](https://infernojs.org/docs/guides/isomorphic). This means that page loads are now much faster, as the server does the work.
- The UI now also supports open-graph and twitter cards! Linking to lemmy posts (from whatever platform you use) looks pretty now: 
- Improved the search page ( more features incoming ).
## Contributors
-We'd also like to thank both the [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/) for their support in allowing us to work full-time on Lemmy ( as well as their support for [other important open-source projects](https://nlnet.nl/project/current.html) ), [those who sponsor us](https://lemmy.ml/sponsors), and those who [help translate Lemmy](https://weblate.yerbamate.ml/projects/lemmy/). Every little bit does help. We remain committed to never allowing advertisements, monetizing, or venture-capital in Lemmy; software should be communal, and should benefit humanity, not a small group of company owners.
