Big deals, omg
- Mods can move a post, with replies and votes, to another community. The change federates to other instances (except Lemmy, for now. I’ve been in discussion with devs from NodeBB and Lemmy about how this will work, they are on board). Relevant FEP.
- Upload video files while creating a video post - no external host needed. Admin setting to limit who can do this (to save space).
- Realtime chat - conversation immediately updates on screen when a new PM arrives.
More good stuff
- Author-deleted posts are still visible to them and anyone with the url. No more loss of high-value comments with the OP deletes.
- Search filters - nsfw and minimum post score
- Improve speed of cross-posting form on mobile
- Emoji tokens like
:blush:can be used in post or comment body. No GUI support yet. - Admin setting to disable local copies of remote images - good for single-user instances
- Replying to a comment marks associated inbox item as read
- Updated HPT-Fruits theme
- 196 no longer excluded from default community import
- Remove unused community rating feature
- Remove unused instance vote weight feature
- Remove ineffective þ to ‘th’ replacement
- Improved accessibility - better contrast, fixed many incorrectly-used
aria-labels - Updated translations - Basque, Chinese, Japanese
API:
- Admins can ban/unban users through the API. piefed.world was maintaining custom code for this, hopefully it’ll make their version upgrades faster.
Bugs fixed
- PMs
- Markdown parsing
- Speed up loading of profile pages for admin users
- Friendica post parsing
- Passkeys login UX tweak
To upgrade
To upgrade from 1.4.x:
git pull
git checkout v1.5.x
./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh


Yes I understand that concern.
To clarify a bit - when someone deletes their post, who authored it is no longer visible and the body of the post is no longer visible. Only the title remains, and the comments on the post.
That should remove all visible association between the author and the post and any accidental self-doxing, etc would tend to be in the body, which will no longer be visible.
Admins and mods can still see the author of the deleted post (so bad people can’t escape scrutiny).
Ok, that is more clear, maybe you should add that to the description because with the current way it’s written it seems as if the whole post and author are still visible to anyone with the link.
