Upgrade is complete. Please let us know if you have any problems.

Note - for those of you that were using Two Factor Authentication, due to the way lemmy 0.19.x implements 2fa, you will need to re-enable it manually from your settings once you have logged in.

Edit - As a bonus, we have two new interfaces for folk to try

Hell yeah! now I can have trans flags in my name! :D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nice! I've been wanting to add pronouns to mine but couldn't without removing the trans flag. Glad it's fixed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

wait u could have a trans flag before the update? cuz for me it said the username was invalid

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

On a much earlier version of Lemmy you could. At some point they pushed a change to disallow invisible characters, and that's what broke it. So I had set my name with a trans flag prior to that update

ohhh damn I probably could have done it on my old account at least then X3 Welp it works now! :D

Heads up, when hexbear upgraded a few months ago, there was a bug where you couldn't log back in (the update logs you out).

The fix is to just clear your cookies for blahaj.

sweet!! i assume mlmym will be added later on, no?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Ty for all your work you lovely admins 💜

2FA actually ended up breaking on our account on the older interface (as it just stopped accepting generated codes), so the update disabling that actually helped us out in that regard. Proper account recovery needs to be implemented for cases when something like that happens.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Well done! And nice for the interfaces!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Thanks so much for your time & efforts

I was trying to create that oldetimer community I was talking about recently. But when pressing the "Create" button on the creation menu, it quickly unpresses itself and does nothing at all, no error message in sight

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was just able to create [email protected] without any issues, so I'm not sure what's going on with that one...

In any case, if you can post something in that community, I'll make you a mod and then remove myself

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Huh interesting that it works for you. Guess must be on my side then. I very much appreciate the gesture too, but I wanted it to be called "Oldtimer, Youngtimers and Vintage Motoring" so it would fit with my other community Trams, Trollys and Streetcars! I'll try to create it tomorrow, will keep ya update! Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Another thought. Community titles (the title that shows in the URL, not the display title) are limited to 25 characters. If you're going beyond that, it fails, and from memory, it failed without a useful error message in previous versions of lemmy, so it's probably still doing that now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Oh I see, yeah that seems to have been the big issue. Thank you for the help! Its created now!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Ok, let me know how you go. Try another browser if you can, or try incognito mode. Or logging out of your lemmy account and logging in again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is that why there's now a floating gear / wrench / screwdriver button on every page that I can't seem to make go away? I'm on Firefox (desktop and mobile).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

We're not sure what that's about. Kaity is going to try and get to the bottom of it after work today
