Congratulations on the improvements to the protocol and to you both sexy leftist pimps for keeping the FOSS philosophy alive.
On behalf of the Mujican community, I send you a fraternal hug and we reiterate that we are with you in whatever is needed, wherever the fediverse takes us.
Peeps, I am seeing some really worrying trends on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list. Many instances are quickly filling up with thousands of spam accounts which will soon be unleashed on the threadiverse. While bots can bypass captchas, they at least limit the simplest scripts. We are going to face this really really soon https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/87753
Can we at least add support for disabling VPNs, or using some other captcha solution like recaptcha? IP rate limiting is useless with VPNs, and email verification is more trivially bypassed than the current captchas.
Navigating to a different page scrolls all the way to the bottom of the page. I assume it’s part of some feature to remember the previous position (i.e., when navigating back), but I don’t think it should apply when using the pagination navigation. I’m on mobile.
Can we please get the 10K char post limit raised to 50K or even 100K chars in v0.18? Many mods are desperate to get their wikis/guides ported from reddit and this has been a showstopping issue.
This is a UI issue. As a temporary solution, you can modify the post (maxlength) using your browser's dev tools until lemmy devs implement a fix.
frivolous critique, but using Star Trek series names for release candidate testing instances but not having “the next generation” seems like a missed opportunity.
They are Star Trek vessels (or bases).
A random note- federation, is being very weird for this particular server.

(Also- I can't actually see replies to this, due to... federation acting very weird with this particular server...)
Also- Is, there a changelog available for the upcoming 0.18 release?
A bit off topic, but can something be done about the power mods? I see a few users already forking every subreddit trying to ensure they remain a mod. No user can meaningfully manage 50-100+ communities.
Please consider capping the limit to 20 or less. First-mover advantage is huge, so starting up a community down the road to prevent this consolidation of privileges is likely out of the question.
