Media
There is a new functionality for users to list all images they have previously uploaded, and delete them if desired. It also allows admins to view and delete images hosted on the local instance.
When uploading a new avatar or banner, the old one is automatically deleted.
Instance admins should also checkout lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner which can delete thumbnails for old posts, and free significant amounts of storage.
This is great news, and addresses what was until now a big shortcoming… a user had no way of managing uploaded images and admins had to crawl through the DB to manage or delete them.
This is buried toward the bottom of the release notes so I’m bringing it up here:
Added instance-level default sort type
Any admins out there considering changing their instance sort settings or asking people on their instance if they’d like this changed, given that we can individually set sorting anyway? Taking into account the inclination of people to never adjust default settings (I remain deeply curious about this tendency, as an aside), I think it might be worth at least bringing up to one’s instance community.
If they decide they want it to remain the same, all good, and even better, it raises some people’s awareness that they can change it themselves.
maybe some instances will want “New Comments” to be the default, like old forums
the inclination of people to never adjust default settings
yea lol so many people just will not change any settings on anything
How does automatic hastag inclusion work?
It just puts a hashtag with the community’s name at the end of the post. Like if you post in this community, it would have #fediverse at the end of the post.
Thats cool I guess seems that will help mastodon federation a lot. I dont see why we can’t add arbitrary hashtags for general post tagging tho.
