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.

Great job, everyone!
Great, thank you. The network is much more stable and working solid!
Thanks!
Quite a noticeable performance difference with this update over the last several hours. Good stuff 👍
@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!
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.
Is viewing kbin instances fixed?

Love to see the community coming together to improve things !
Thanks for all your hard work and reminding about ways to support. Just became a Patreon 💪🏼 You guys rock
Thank you for all of your hard work! Lemmy is my very first selfhosted app and I’m impressed how easy it is spin up a new instance. It inspired me to learn coding from scratch, starting with TheOdinProject, and it’s been fun so far. Can’t wait to contribute to lemmy a few years from now :D!
I DID IT MOM. I CONTRIBUTED TO LEMMY
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.
Thanks devs and contributors❤️
The performance improvement is very noticeable, thank you so much everyone for the excellent job!
I also see more usage of widescreen on desktop, which is a lot better than before, but still has ways to go to match up to old Reddit style text density. The performance is snappy. Trying to hold on to moderation reins for Lemmy.
Thanks for your hard work! Lemmy is really taking off and it’s showing how people can communicate without a corporation in the middle. Somehow this has been lost on younger internet users. They think they need to go to some big tech site to connect to other people. Who made those guys our overlords? Fuck them.
This is a new way to communicate for many people & I am exited to learn more as time progresses.
I love it. And notice how most people are incredibly nice to eachother here? I remember when browsing reddit sometimes, it was easy to feel like people were really trying to insult eachother, push eachother down and act like they were the smartest little person ever to be born on the planet.
I see none of that here. Its such a wonderful place right now.
Inclusive & welcoming toward people with any background etc. Hope it stays this way many years to come.
I think without the constant attempts from big tech at making people “engage” (meaning, making them upset and alienated from eachother so they post something), we have a good chance. :)
