+# Lemmy v0.16.4 Release : Peertube federation, Rust API and other improvements (2022-05-27)
+
+## 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
+
+This version adds a new community setting "restricted". If this is active, only moderators can post in the community (but anyone can comment). This can be useful for announcements or blogs.
+
+In your site settings there is a new field for legal information. This can be used to present terms of service, privacy policy etc.
+
+We've also added an admin setting for the default post listing type. This determines whether users without login, and newly registered users, will see the `Local` or `All` timeline by default.
+
+HTML tags are now disabled in markdown, as the were causing some issues.
+
+### Federation
+
+Lemmy now federates with [Peertube](https://joinpeertube.org/)! Be aware that this requires Peertube [v4.2.0-rc.1](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v4.2.0-rc.1) or later. You can now follow Peertube channels from Lemmy and comment on videos. If there is other functionality that you would like to see federated, please open an issue (the same goes for federation with other projects).
+
+When browsing remote Lemmy communities, you will now see the site description and rules in the sidebar. Some federated actions did not generate mod log entries previously, this has been fixed. Also, federation with Friendica was approved, Lemmy now correctly receives comments with hashtags. Additionally, the previous version had a check which rejected federation in case the domain of user avatars or banners didn't match the user's domain. This check broke federation with some instances,
+and was removed.
+
+### Rust API
+
+If you are thinking of developing a Rust application which interacts with Lemmy, this is now much easier. The [lemmy-api-common](https://crates.io/crates/lemmy_api_common) crate has a new feature which disables all heavy dependencies (like diesel) by default. You can add the crate to your project, and interact with Lemmy API using the exact same structs that Lemmy itself uses. For an example, have a look at [lemmyBB](https://github.com/Nutomic/lemmyBB). Its in a very early stage,
+so contributions are welcome!
+
+In other development news, our test instances ([ds9.lemmy.ml](https://ds9.lemmy.ml/), [voyager.lemmy.ml](https://voyager.lemmy.ml/), [enterprise.lemmy.ml](https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/)) are now updated automatically every night with the latest development version. This should make it easier for admins and users to test new features before they are released. At the same time, [join-lemmy.org](https://join-lemmy.org/) and its instance list are also updated automatically every night.
+
+## Upgrade notes
+
+Follow the [Docker or Ansible upgrade instructions here.](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html)
+
+## 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/).
+
+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.

+# Lemmy v0.16.0 Release: Theming and Federation improvements (2022-03-08)
+
+## 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
+
+### Theming
+
+Customizing Lemmy is now much easier than before. Instance admins can select a default instance theme under `/admin` which applies to all users who are not logged in, and those who haven't explicitly picked a theme.
+
+It is also possible now to add custom themes to an instance, without having to recompile lemmy-ui. When running with Docker, make sure that [these lines](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/24/files) are present in docker-compose.yml (Ansible will add them automatically if you updated the repo). Then put your .css file into `./volumes/lemmy-ui/extra_themes`. The new theme can then be selected by users, or set as instance default.
+
+For native installation (without Docker), themes are loaded by lemmy-ui from `./extra_themes` folder. A different path can be specified with `LEMMY_UI_EXTRA_THEMES_FOLDER` environment variable.
+
+For instructions how to create a new theme, have a look at the [documentation](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/client_development/theming.html).
+
+### Federation
+
+@nutomic made many changes to federation to increase compatibility with other software. Lemmy can now receive deletions from [Pleroma], comments from [Friendica] and communities from [lotide](https://sr.ht/~vpzom/lotide/). Other actions were already compatible before. Mastodon can now display communities even when a user with identical name exists (but the user can't be viewed in that case). There were no breaking changes necessary, so federation is fully compatible with 0.15. If you notice something in another project that doesn't federate but should, please open an issue.
+
+Multiple users have pointed out that posts, comments and votes don't federate reliably. We first attempted to fix this in [Lemmy 0.15.4](https://lemmy.ml/post/184152) a few days ago, but that didn't help much. Later @nutomic noticed that Lemmy was only sending out activities with 4 worker threads, which is not enough for a big instance like lemmy.ml. At the same time, many of those workers were taken up by sending to broken instances, trying to connect for a minute or more. This version adds a timeout and increases the number of workers.
+
+### Federated bans
+
+Until now, only community bans were federated, and the "Remove content" option didn't work over federation. The new version fixes this behaviour, so that both site bans and community bans federate, including "Remove content" option and expiry. Note that this change only affects new bans, those which were issued before upgrading to 0.16 will not be federated.
+
+### 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 \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d \
+ '{"community_id":3,"hidden":true,"reason":"*reason for mod log*","auth":"*admin jwt token*"}'
+```

+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
+
+Follow the [Docker or Ansible upgrade instructions here.](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html)

+# Lemmy v0.15.1 Release (2022-01-12)
+
+Lemmy now has private instances, optional registration applications, optional email verification, and temporary bans! 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) .

# Lemmy Release v0.14.0: Federation with Mastodon and Pleroma (2021-11-17)
Today is an exciting day for the Lemmy project.
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.

+- Removed categories.
- 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) .

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:

Here are some of the bigger changes:
#### Federation
-- 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.
