Big deals, omg

  • Mods can move a post, with replies and votes, to another community. The change federates to other instances (except Lemmy, for now. I’ve been in discussion with devs from NodeBB and Lemmy about how this will work, they are on board). Relevant FEP.
  • Upload video files while creating a video post - no external host needed. Admin setting to limit who can do this (to save space).
  • Realtime chat - conversation immediately updates on screen when a new PM arrives.

More good stuff

  • Author-deleted posts are still visible to them and anyone with the url. No more loss of high-value comments with the OP deletes.
  • Search filters - nsfw and minimum post score
  • Improve speed of cross-posting form on mobile
  • Emoji tokens like :blush: can be used in post or comment body. No GUI support yet.
  • Admin setting to disable local copies of remote images - good for single-user instances
  • Replying to a comment marks associated inbox item as read
  • Updated HPT-Fruits theme
  • 196 no longer excluded from default community import
  • Remove unused community rating feature
  • Remove unused instance vote weight feature
  • Remove ineffective þ to ‘th’ replacement
  • Improved accessibility - better contrast, fixed many incorrectly-used aria-labels
  • Updated translations - Basque, Chinese, Japanese

API:

  • Admins can ban/unban users through the API. piefed.world was maintaining custom code for this, hopefully it’ll make their version upgrades faster.

Bugs fixed

  • PMs
  • Markdown parsing
  • Speed up loading of profile pages for admin users
  • Friendica post parsing
  • Passkeys login UX tweak

    Ah, okay. That’s great. Might be a dumb question, but what did you mean by “change federates to other instances (except Lemmy[…]” then?

      Sorry I misread your earlier question, missing out the “until Lemmy supports…”.

      From Lemmy’s side it’ll look like the post is still in the old community.

        Thanks for clarification, makes more sense now. Will everyone still see each other’s comments when a post is moved but for Lemmy users it’s still in the old community?

          Yes.

          Although there are a lot of ways this could go wrong, expect some breakage until kinks are ironed out.
