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 release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these. Additionally this version includes a fix for another cross-site scripting vulnerability. For these reasons instance admins should upgrade as soon as possible.
As promised, captchas are supported again. And as usual there are countless bug fixes and minor improvements, many of them contributed by community members.
Upgrade instructions
Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.
If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.
Support development
We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for almost three years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation.
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.

Amazing work as always!
Awesome work, big thanks to all who contributed!
Right back atcha!
Can captchas be setup to create communities? That would prevent a lot of spam communities I’m seeing.
You can open an issue for it.
Great job, everyone!
The difference in performance is noticeable and I love the ability to change themes in the platform itself. Thank you two for this release, it’s awesome.
The performance difference is ridiculous…everything feels faster.
Thank you so much!
Any concrete examples?
It used to take like 7 seconds to upvote and most of the times it did not work and now it does almost instantly
Is there an easy Portainer way to selfhost? I use the SWAG (Nginx) proxy manager and want to bind my data in a certain directory
Thank you guys
No probs!
The momentum of Lemmy is very impressive as of late!
For sure. We’ve been going full speed for what feels like a month now, but thanks to all those identifying an, helping fix performance issues, we have a little breathing room now. 🤞
Thanks for the great work! According to Christian the revenue received by reddit per user per year was $1.50 (optimistically). I just set up a donation on liberapay of $15 per year with the idea that if 10% of Lemmy users donate $15 per year then Lemmy will receive the same income per user as Reddit.
I donated 12 usd, to make it 1 usd per month, without even knowing I am so close to some real value.
It will be interesting in a year to see the costs instances have.
joining that 10% now 🤞 let’s keep this thing running
@dessalines @LemmyDev I don’t see any release notes about whatever’s going on with moving nginx inside a container. What was that about? For me it’s up but not answering on ports 80 or 443.
Is that calling nginx from outside (from host) to the container?
Have the container ports been opened and mapped?
@breadsmasher I figured it out. They added a derivative to hide nginx’s version. I’d already done that and it was causing an error I didn’t see at first. Thanks for the response tho. 😬
Glad its sorted!
@dessalines as always: well done, thank you!
Thanks, awesome!
I’m really encouraged by the growing number of new contributors with each post.
