Its been a long time coming 🥳 .
Excerpt from the link:
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. 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.

Thank you for the great work that you are doing!
This update has a lot of very neat features that I’m excited to play with!
No probs!
@dessalines@dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@nutomic@lemmy.ml
here is answering in “Deutsch” not possible.
Also I apologize that the upgrade here took longer than expected. It was a massive conversion of comments to a different form, that had to work for several hundred thousand historical comments.
I bet that was a high-adrenaline click.
And a big smile when it succeeded :)
I love you too.
I’m a new user and it’s really exciting to see the evolution happening here. Thank you!
Great update again. I’m most excited about the embedded videos!
Will these language tags eventually be extended for custom tags (ala Reddit flairs)?
Thanks!
No language tagging has nothing to do with flairs.
Brilliant as always!
Thanks!
Great Job! 🥳
Thanks for all the hard work!
And i tested federation with pleroma. This is a Posting in Pleroma in my lemmys testcommunity
and this comes in lemmy
It works, but not very good. “TEST von pleroma” is set as “Subject” in Pleroma, but it ist not recognized in Lemmy. Pleroma has a Subject. Mastodon not.
the subject from mastadon can be handled by making it whatever is in the first sentence\paragraph. making anything after a line break become the body of the post
This is just a workaround from lemmy, to support Mastodon… 🙏
test DEUTSCH
Awesome work! 👏👏👏
🎉 thanks to the developers and everyone who helped!
one bug i noticed after the upgrade: my notifications page shows unread notifications for (what i guess is) every reply i’ve ever received which was later deleted. the count in the bell icon only reflected the actual new unread notifications I had received since I last looked, but when i click to view my unread notifications then all of these old ones about deleted messages appear to be unread now.
I faced another thing…
Almost all of my joined communities are now not following, just pending…
I have to cancel the following-request and follow again. This happens after upgrade to 0.17.0
First i see this and click to “Subscribe pending”
then i have to click “Subscribe”
and then, the subscription was successful.
but i was subscribed at all these communities before the upgrade.
There’s an open issue for that in Lemmy, we’re deciding the best way to solve it.
woooo!
this is great! good job!
quick question, why would my account be marked as a bot account? is there a way to change this?
Hrmm not sure how that happened… you can go to your settings to change it.
There is a bug, when i’m writing a coment and get notification someone comment on one of my earlier comments, everything i’m just writing disappear for good. Lost few walls of text already to this.
Yes this seems critical, I’ve opened up a bug in lemmy-ui to fix it.
Thank you
Here is the same. I can not create a comment, when setting for this comment is “Deutsch”. The errormessage on the server is:
lemmy_1 | 2023-02-03T15:22:54.907502Z ERROR lemmy_server::api_routes_websocket: Error during message handling language_not_allowed: language_not_allowed lemmy_1 | 0: lemmy_api_crud::comment::create::perform lemmy_1 | with self=CreateComment { content: "which one is it?", post_id: PostId(132386), parent_id: Some(CommentId(59722)), language_id: Some(LanguageId(0)), form_id: Some("comment-form-BWf3BJIag OlM72MKlKvS"), auth: Sensitive } lemmy_1 | at crates/api_crud/src/comment/create.rs:41Its probably because you don’t have that language allowed in either your instance, or community settings.
The same setting on a comment in the same community, the same posting, but other answer works… this is strange.
This error happens in THIS comment-thread. Sometimes i can answer with “German” and then i’m not allowed
This answer i made with setting “German” And here it workes.
which one is it?
Oh yes. This hapoened to me too, today.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@lemmy.ml
Here is answering in “Deutsch” not possible.
You can give your site “taglines”, short markdown messages, which are shown at the top of your front page.
What is considered the Front Page?
The top level / home page.
