Starting now, we are changing the dev update to a monthly schedule. This is more predictable and gives us more time to write it.

Last month saw the release of Lemmy 0.19.11. It included a lot of changes backported from the development branch. This way improvements can already reach users while the main branch is still under heavy development in preparation for the 1.0 release.

There were numerous other contributions:

On the 1.0 front Dessalines was busy with different rewrites of the database to improve pagination, adding read, liked, and hidden content endpoints, speeding up compilation time, and also getting lemmy-ui updated.


For Lemmy to have a future, it's been a long-term goal to ensure that donations can cover the two full-time devs' living expenses, and possibly add more developers to the co-op. Nutomic worked on various tasks to aid this, including:

  • A redesign of the donation page on join-lemmy.org.
  • A new donation dialog shown directly in the Lemmy web interface.
  • A call for donations which was widely shared and discussed.

Although the goal is not reached yet, it looks like a success as the amount of recurring donations was almost doubled within a few days. It also helped to clarify and resolve some of the reasons why people were unwilling to donate.

You can see the full list of changes for April at the links below:

July 1 is his self-established deadline.

It's a Federal program that's intended to end jurisdictional bullshit over support for off-reserve First Nations children, which has been...less than successful.

I hadn't thought of it before, but there are aspects of this description that are similar to "Demons of the Punjab". That was hands-down my favourite Thirteenth Doctor episode, so I'm very intrigued by this one.

There's absolutely no reason to think any show is being made "instead of" another.

Edit: And as Newsome herself stated, this series has not been greenlit. It may not get made at all.

I don’t think you needed [sic]

Just wanted to make sure - I stumbled over that sentence when reading it!

Honestly, I couldn't disagree more - I think the season so far has been quite solid.

In any case, this article is about marketing and promotional opportunities for Disney.

It's pretty hard to make the case that we "need" any work of fiction.

At SDCC CBS sent us a synopsis, essentially a workplace comedy on a vacation planet – not Risa, not in the Federation. So are those fundamentals are still the same?

Those fundamentals are the same. But what I can tell you is what we’re really working on exploring, are the sort of overlooked sections of what happens when a world and a culture that is not that was not [sic] in the Federation. What happens when they decide to be?… So Federation outsiders and what’s kind of the nitty gritty involved with joining the Federation and involved with… yeah, I’m really struggling [to avoid spoilers]

That's an interesting adjustment...

Well you see, she doesn't support sovereignty, and has to stop them from starting their own party, so obviously she has to give them what they want, stoke the flames, and make it easier to hold a referendum.

It's so simple!

It is - we do have a KDF equivalent, Qo'noS Guard, for our alts, but it's fairly inactive. I don't think anyone plays KDF as their main.

We also have a chat channel that's shared across both fleets, so if anyone happens to join, let me know and I can arrange an invite and fleet promotions.

At this point, "one crank neurologist" seems to be the most likely explanation by far.
