Welcome to the highly anticipated update! Tons of changes in this release, but you might have noticed you were signed out. All sessions were terminated to allow for a more secure user auth flow. New post ranking algorithms and instance blocks for users are the headlining features, but there were almost 400 commits since 0.18.5 so please read the release notes if you are curious about the other big changes. Enjoy the update!
If your third party app experience is feeling a little funky, you just need to sign out and in. Looks like session termination wasn’t handled correctly in some apps.
Also, seeing it zeroed out my total score/upvote count lol. 🤔
Ah yes. I should have put that in the release notes. It was removed from the API unfortunately. There’s an issue here asking for it to be reimplemented. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4215
Thanks for the letting me know, here’s hoping it gets reimplemented. As I’m one of those who enjoys more information than needed. 🤣
