Update The upgrade was done, DB migrations took around 5 minutes. We’ll keep an eye out for (new) issues but for now it seems to be OK.

Original message We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ““Edit”” I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we’re still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)

    Infinite scroll and word filtering. If I see one more post about “AI”, Musk, Twitter, or fake superconductors, I might have to get off the computer for 10 whole minutes.

          Fair. It’s not too hard, but most lemmy UIs make it a bit harder than it needs to be because they want to be a fancy JavaScript-ridden mess of html tags.

          On old.lemmy.world it is supremely easy, you just use the element picker tool of uBlock to select all posts, add the ‘magic’ command :contains(reddit) to filter out the word you don’t want (in this case reddit), and you’ve got your filter. This would result in old.lemmy.world##.post:contains(reddit).

          On lemmy.world it is trickier because it is the kind of HTML no sane person would write. Doing the above you end up with lemmy.world##div.mt-2.post-listing:contains(reddit) which is messy, and misses a line that is used to divide the posts. With some manual tuning you can first simplify the first part to ##.post-listing:contains(reddit) and then add :xpath(.|following::hr[1]) to get rid of the annoying line. This results in ##.post-listing:contains(reddit):xpath(.|following::hr[1]).

            Oh is it literally just css selectors, but with a slightly different syntax? Fuck me, I never looked into it and assumed it was nonsense.

              The extra syntax is just to add some features that aren’t in CSS. Not quite sure where this came from, I think it’s from the Adblock Plus era, but Gorhill perfected it for uBlock origin, which makes it a very powerful tool.

              It’s not limited to just hiding the elements either, if you want you can simply restyle them (I’ve used this to redact sports results until I hovered over them).

      I want to be able to ban/hide entire servers. Regularly seeing lemmynsfw celebrity communities pop up in All/Hot :| (I have nsfw disabled, so it’s just generic photos of random women.)

      Also an option would be nice to hide downvoted posts, I had that on in RES.
