Firstly, the maintenance for Pawb.Social services has been completed and we've upgraded Lemmy to 0.19.6-beta.13, and our Mastodon instances to v4.3.0.

Thanks for your patience.

and now, onto the "Toastify is awesome" (because it is. Totally.) postmortem:

Short summary: Crash did a stupid with the config and emails weren’t getting sent (oops). Emails should now be working again, and registration shouldn't require admin intervention.

Longer story:

Lemmy has several configuration options that need to be updated to correspond to the specific instance that's running it. For example, here's a snippet of Pawb.Social's config:

 undefined

    
{
  database: {
    host: "the.best.db.url.internal"
    user: "pawbsocial_lemmy"
    database: "pawbsocial_lemmy"
    password: "pawbsocial_do_you_really_think_i_would_leak_this"
    pool_size: 128
  }
  hostname: "pawb.social"
  pictrs: {
    url: "http://pawb-social-pictrs:8080/"
    api_key: "sekrit"
  }
  email: {
    smtp_server: "email-smtp.us-east
  

We've successfully upgraded Lemmy from v0.19.3 to v0.19.5 and have a bunch of changes to share!

Bug Fixes

• Previously users were reporting that the web client kept logging them out. This was suspected to be due to a misconfiguration of the cookie storing the session information and should be fixed.
• Some communities were slow to load. Federation changes in v0.19.4 and v0.19.5 should rectify some federation issues. Additionally, we increased the number of database connections for Lemmy and will gradually increase this if we identify any further slowdowns.

(Longer term, we're planning to upgrade the database hardware which should improve the performance for all services)

Local Only Communities

When creating or editing your communities, you'll now see a "Visibility" option that allows you to choose between "Public" and "Local Only".

The "Public" setting will continue to operate as normal and federate your community to all other instances we federate with.

"Local Only" wi

TriliumNext Stable Release

❔ Why TriliumNext?

TriliumNext has started as a fork of Trilium Notes at the beginning of 2024. The reason for the work is that the upstream project has entered maintenance phase and we would like to extend the application. The work so far has focused more on the technical aspects because most of the work has been done by u/zadam and handing over a project of this size is non-trivial. Some more technical work will be done in the upcoming versions after which the project can focus on improving the user experience as much as possible.

Some of the current features are listed below and can be found on the readme:

• 🎄 Notes can be arranged into arbitrarily deep tree. Single note can be placed into multiple places in the tree (see [cloning](https://
