haha, we appreciate the patience. We're not a massive company with teams of people, just a couple of FOSS programmers.
This is why this instance is so well. Thank you for all the hard work in reliberating the web!

Thank you for your service o7

can anyone tldr all big features coming in the new release?
Some that come to mind:
- Scaled sort, which takes community size into consideration when looking for top posts
- User will be able to block instances without the need for their home instance to defederate
- The new flow for enabling 2FA makes it harder for users to accidentally lock themselves out of their accounts
- There will be a feed option to just see posts in communities you moderate (as opposed to subscribed, local, and all)
- Controversial sort
- You can import and export account settings as JSON, making switching instances easier
User will be able to block instances without the need for their home instance to defederate
Ooohhhhh so good. I have been wanting that.
Unblocking would be pretty damn awesome too.

This is good to hear! Have you considered releasing more often with smaller sets of changes, for future releases? It seems like this will be quite the upgrade.
Yep, we'd def prefer to do smaller releases, and we'll try to make them more frequent and smaller in the future. The main reason this one was so delayed, is because of the large number of breaking changes, esp. w/ respect to authentication.
Great idea. Hope all is fairly smooth!
Thank you so much for your work on this instance.
How best to donate to help support?
Thanks! Here's our donation page: https://join-lemmy.org/donate . Liberapay is preferred if possible.
Can somebody explain what this scaling sort thing is to me? I've heard it a lot, but I don't know exactly what it does.
It's like hot sort, but gives a boost to inactive communities.
It's like the other sort options, except it prioritizes communities with fewer subs, so that you'll see content from smaller communities more often.
The update has broken a bunch of things for me..
On my desktop using firefox, I cannot get images to display & everything is slow to load. On my android phone, boost was showing me a ton of stuff that I do not follow & wasn't showing me any info about my profile (profile tab would not load or something). Boost eventually logged me out & I have been unable to log back in....
Images were temporarily broken due to authentication problems, but thats fixed now. If you encounter problems in apps, please them to the developers so they can fix them.

Good luck!! If we donβt hear any exploding noises than I guess that means it is going ok?
Thank you for your hard work!!
I appreciate that you going through this test period. I hope it all goes smoothly and that at least a few hairs remain on your heads by the end of this week. Good luck!
Thx!
