We've updated to Lemmy v0.18! For the moment new signups will require a valid email, as spam prevention. New signups MUST complete email verification within ONE HOUR, or be deleted.

See what's new: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-06-23_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.18.0

Captchas aren't working this release, so I've re-enabled email verification. Check your spam folder if you're trying to sign up.

TL;DR: Less bugs, more error messages instead of endless spinning, custom emojis (which I will need to look into), 2FA support, and better performance!

And the biggest fix of all: links to communities on other instances will automatically redirect here! No more pasting URLs into the search bar!

If you're wondering why you didn't notice the bug of new posts suddenly appearing as others complained about last release, we were using a bit of a hotfix/hack to get that to stop.
