The local pict-rs database fails to migrate from v3 to v4 regardless of what I do so I've given up on it. This means all images uploaded prior to today are broken. This includes community icons, user avatars, etc. Oh well.
Went well. No issues to report.
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md#lemmy-v0184-release-2023-08-08 I originally intended to apply this shortly after it was released about two weeks ago, but things ended up a little busy at home. Better late than never I suppose. Enjoy!
Federation traffic has improved. I'm not seeing a constant stream of HTTP header expiry errors in the log anymore. 👍
- Email verification for new users has been re-enabled - Captcha is broken in this release so it has been disabled for now
Greetings from Tor! I came across [LemmyNet/lemmy-docs#187](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/issues/187) last night and decided to implement it on this server. I'll probably write something up and contribute what I've done back to `lemmy-docs` this evening assuming someone else doesn't beat me to it.
einval's mail server is working correctly however the 0.17.3 release of Lemmy may have broken its builtin user verification system. Until that is confirmed fixed I'm making email registration optional. You can still add an email address after signing up for an account, of course. I think this issue only pertains to new registrations.
My apologies to anyone that signed up between yesterday and today. I was trying to troubleshoot a problem with federation and ended up making things much worse. Unfortunately this required me to start entirely from scratch, but at least federation appears to be working correctly now. I'm done messing around Lemmy's internals if you'd like to sign up again.
