I am using Lemmy.ca without loading any different themes, and it looks like the ugly gold does not highlight new comments anymore. Did the admin team change something?
The only remaining ugly-gold comments I have seen are ones that have the admin shield on them.
Edit: Never mind, this comment now shows as ugly-gold for me, as did another that I saw that was 8 minutes old.
I’m looking into building a temporary custom theme for both darkly and litely that removes this highlight, at least until there’s an option to disable that feature.
Note that Jerboa 0.50 which is still the latest in the Play Store is broken with Lemmy 0.19. The newly released 0.53 should work but it’s not on the stores yet.
Suggestion:
Check that the compatible Jerboa version is on the Play Store before upgrading Lemmy. That way non-technical users like my wife won’t see breakage. Or alternatively upgrade several days after the official Lemmy release.
Importantly, the signatures of the F-Droid build is different than the one from Github, is different than the one for the Play Store. As a result, you can’t update an app installed from one of these sources with a build from another. 😮💨
I’d just delay the update for a few days up to a week. That would give a chance for most maintained apps to release updates via their respective channels. Then I wouldn’t have to care and check for specific apps.
The app developers were warned like a month ago that this would be a breaking change, they had lots of time to release patches and there’s been a few large instances on the beta of 0.19 for well over a week.
IMHO It’s not really sensible for us to go test the apps and then hold back on upgrading just because one of the dozen apps isn’t compatible yet.
Liftoff hasn’t seen an updated release in months, and unfortunately it won’t work again until it does. It’s a good excuse to try some alternative clients…I’ve switched to Voyager for now and have been really happy with it so far.
This is the thing I’m happiest to see and I hope it helps Lemmy grow more. Being able to block the NSFW/porn instances is such a quality-of-life improvement. I’ve got nothing against porn, but it’s a bad look if anyone can see your screen and every third post is nudity (even if it’s blurred).
I’ve seen that option but unfortunately not every NSFW post is NSFW because of nudity. Like some of the post in the Ukraine community are marked NSFW for war reasons.
Clearing app data and updating to Jerboa v.54 fixed my problems logging into lemmy.ca. Glad to see the new features. I can finally put lemmynsfw.com to rest from my feed.
However, I notice upvote/downvote and community block actions appear to break when using old.lemmy.ca on desktop (guess whomever maintains that theme has work to do… just noting here).
EDIT: Whoops, my bad for not reading further down, others have reported. Thanks.
There seems to be an issue with uploading large images. I don’t know if anyone else has noticed it but I’m getting the error when trying to upload wallpapers to /c/wallpapers. I think it might be related to file size? Or maybe file format? It’s a 13MB .png file. I don’t remember running into issues with the old version when posting similar content.
Thanks! I’ll try converting the file format and see if that’ll work. I successfully uploaded a JPEG last night, so maybe it just doesn’t like PNG files anymore 🤷♂️
old.lemmy.ca is having issues with the update as well. voting doesn’t seem to always work, and I couldn’t post from it. Not a huge deal, there’s always the normal mode.
My understanding is that every app and frontend should have required a quick log out/log in after this upgrade since the authentication stuff was upgraded. So it might be good to do that on Voyager as well, or keep an eye out for issues
