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 fixes the problem of comment context not loading properly. It also fixes a couple other bugs.
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. 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.

Upgrade instructions
Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker. There are no config or API changes with this release.
If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.
That’s developed by a third party so you’ll have to ask them.
You can block users / communities in lemmy-ui by going to their profile.
I’m not the user you’re responding to and don’t use the ui they’re talking about, but going to those profiles can be more upsetting than the original comment or post, especially if it’s set up with large images or gifs. It’d be a lot nicer if blocking could be done from other places, too.
You can also block / report them from their comments / posts.
Ah, I see that for users now. Thanks! Would still be nice to be able to block communities from afar, too, fwiw.
