      Ya that was a long time coming, we should have been faster about adding blocks. Next up is reporting.

    Distribute Lemmy via crates.io

    ❤️ Thank you! I’ve been trying to set up a Lemmy server on my VPS this week in my spare time. I’ve never used Ansible or Docker before and both of them have been giving me such a headache.

    Also, for any Portuguese users out there, Lemmy has been fully translated :D

    Everyone I apologize for these few front end bugs that snuck in, I’ll work on getting them fixed in the next few days.

    Following has to be a bug :
    For three different users (me, Muad’Dib, SeaHorse ) i get exactly the same list of “subscribed ( to //c’s )”
    my Browser : OP’r-@ Opera

    Thank you a lot for this!

    I especially like the blocking feature. I love the dedication to the software you guys show time and time again.

  • @X51@lemmy.ml

    Glad to see the blocking feature. I immediately went back to an old discussion and blocked a user that I wanted to block months ago.

  • QuentinCallaghan

    Little late to the party as I have been away for a few days without the internet connection, but these are some great news. Again, I am glad I have found out about Lemmy. Job well done, if I say so myself. Thank you. Loving it here immensely.
