Lemmy v0.18.4 Release
Lemmy v0.18.4 Release
What is Lemmy?
Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.
Major Changes
This version fixes the problem of comment context not loading properly. It also fixes a couple other bugs.
Support development
@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.
If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. No one likes recurring donations, but they’ve proven to be the only way that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.

Does anyone else have an issue where the browser back button causes Lemmy to go back twice?
In other words, if you click "next" at the bottom of your feed, open a post and press the back button, does it return to the original page?
Or, if you choose a sort, open a post and press the back button, does the sort get reverted?
It started happening to me in 0.18.3, but I don't want to file a report if I'm the only one experiencing this
I tried it and if I click next, I go to page 2. Then I open a post and click the back button on the browser. And then I'm back on page 2, as expected.
Also tried to switch sorting method and it remembers the sorting method when I go back from a post as expected.
I think probably you have some plugin that is interfering. Try with another browser or a clean browser profile.
I can reproduce it on Android in Firefox Nightly, but not in incognito mode (even while logged in). It happens in Chromium as well, including in incognito mode
In Firefox, I've tried disabling all add-ons and tracking protection and clearing cache and cookies, to no avail
I could test on other phones and operating systems, but I don't really want to spend more time on this. It's not that big of an issue for me
Hmm. That's really weird. Hopefully someone else in this thread can test also so we get more info.
When this happens, I reload, which seems to return me to where I was in the feed. It's a workaround, but it would be nice to just press the back button
Me too. I also open most posts in new tabs
More annoying to do on mobile (desktop is just middle click)
Yes, this and the broken comment context has made browsing seriously painful
Oh, so It's not just me. I'll do what I can to find the cause
Still happens to me on chrome with the webpage. I'm using Sync almost exclusively now and it doesn't have this bug.
