Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

Adding local site settings to reject federated upvotes or downvotes.
Yisss!
Yep this has been a growing problem, with ppl using various alt accounts on different servers to downvote things. Usually it’s pretty obvious because these accounts are all from the same servers, and have little or no comments or posts.
With that setting you can be sure that all the votes at least are coming from your local users, keeping vote anonymity, and without disconnecting from the bigger servers.
I actually want to suggest an extended feature where you can use an allowlist of servers allowing voting in your instance, creating in effect a affinity group of instances. I’ll make a formal issue later
Cool, I originally thought about doing it that way, but maintaining allowlists and blocklists for all the different types of activities could get cumbersome (especially if we add things like blocking posts, comments, communities, messages, etc). But ya that’s a good issue to have.
This is one of those features that might not seem very huge but is a core thing that Reddit can’t have. Very cool.
Didn’t even notice that, that’s cool
finally gives something to do with
hesitatedinstances on fediseer!haven’t been following what’s going on with fediseer, but it’s good that we have something like it! :) I especially like that cloudflare instances are automatically hesitated, and that there are different levels of mistrust
The cloudflare thing is just a few people doing it, mind you, not everyone
Thanks for sharing and your work!
How far do you think you all are from the 19.6 release?
Sounds promising!
Are the ::: spoiler spoiler spoiler ::: normal on Lemmy yet?
Spoilers should be working fine on most clients, but it’s a front end thing.
!spoiler!<
We use a different syntax for spoilers.
Why?
To be different
Post scheduling is huge! Lots of good stuff in here.
