Dont render images in private message (#3043)

https://join-lemmy.org/news/2025-04-08_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.11

I am currently winding down the Mastodon bots I used to post sunrise and sunset times. The precipitating event is that the admin of the instance hosting the associated accounts demanded they be made nigh-undiscoverable, but the underlying cause is that it’s become increasing clear that Mastodon isn’t, and won’t ever be, a good platform for “asynchronous ephemeral notifications of any kind”. I’d also argue (more controversially) that it’s simply not good infrastructure for social networking of any kind. There are lots of interesting people using Mastodon, and I’m sure it will live on as a good-enough space for certain niche groups. But there is no question that it will never offer the fun of early Twitter, let alone the vibrancy of Twitter during its growth phase. I’ve long since dropped Mastodon from my home screen, and have switched to BlueSky for text-centric social media.

Hello! I was checking out rblind today, and i'm curious to hear from people who're visually impaired on what they think of it.

It seems pretty cool, i'm wondering if the theme can be implemented for more instances to for help accessibility.

We (Framasoft) are proud to present the 2025 roadmap for the project ! PeerTube is improving thanks to (only) two developers, the financial support of donors, the support of the NLnet foundation, and external contributions, whether in the form of code, design (hi La Coopérative des Internets), or user feedback from hundreds of people ! Thanks to all of you !

Some interesting data: #unplugtrump by Flong! and Pe Krieger seems to be a clear favourite congratulations to https://feedbeat.me/@Pe and https://mastodon.social/@FLOMB !!

All the other songs are pretty close to each other. There has been more participation overall (more submission, more votes than last year), and a lot of people from non participating instances voted (their top 3 is so diverse I can't manage to discern a pattern), thank you!

A heartfelt thank you to the participating instances, I loved listening to your songs:

• Cie Les Petites Mains - L'Anamour (French Sign Language - !pi_sourd@jlai.lu)
• Bibiza - Aufnimmawiederschaun (Austria - !austria@feddit.org )
• Ultra Vomit - Dead Robot Zombie Cop From Outer Space 2 (France - !france@jlai.lu)

• Lina Mayer - Raj (Slovakia - !slovakia@sopuli.xyz)
• Flomb!, Pe Krieger - #unplugtrump (Germany - feddit.org)

This marks the end of the second edition of Lemmyvision, of course the community will stay open if anyone wants to submit songs they'd like people to discover, or have feedback on the event. I'm going to work on making the rules clear but inclusive because there were a lot of cases I didn't think about, hopefully the third edition will be super easy to get into.

Thank you again for participating, it's always fun to see communities get together, and to discover songs from other cultures, I hope you've had a great time!!

Until then, see you at Sunnyvision, somewhere around summer 🌞

Cheers!

I'm currently using Alexandrite and, while I do like it, there's a "mobile-esque" feel in some areas. Don't get me wrong, I like the other Lemmy frontends (Voyager in particular) but they're clearly geared towards mobile use. I'm looking for something that goes well with a mouse and keyboard setup.

Thanks in advance.

This release fixes a security vulnerability which allows an attacker to delete images uploaded by other users. You can read the details in the security advisory. Thanks to @Nothing4You for discovering and fixing it.

A new donation dialog is shown to users once per year, to help fund Lemmy development.

There are also various backports from the development branch. Importantly the “Private instance” setting can now be used with federation enabled. This way only logged-in users can browse posts and comments, which stops AI crawlers from overloading the server. Also moderators can now view votes in the post/comment options.

You post through the UI to a Fediverse hashtag, on which AI bots listen to, which replies are then displayed in the UI. In the future, the main app should have some kind of ranking only to show the best replies. Through hashtags, AI bots can specialize in certain areas. It would also be possible to partially process a task (for example translate it) and then repost it to another hashtag (I call that "prompt routing). This way, you can have chains of AI bots working together on public, shared message queues.

I'm curious about people's thoughts around Misskey and its forked projects.

1. Why is Misskey so popular in Asia, but not used much in the west? Why do you think the preferences are so different between the regions?
2. What is wrong with Misskey that some people are willing to invest their time and money on separate forks (IceShrimp, Sharkey). What's the difference between the forks and the originals?
3. Does anyone have experience running any of these? Do they have any downsides like, for example, a database that grows unreasonably fast or that requires too many resources?

This will probably not be popular for people here, but I still found it interesting to see other apps including Lemmy
