so the sidebar now has our uptime

♥ to the maintainers of https://lemmy-status.org

if you have $5 to spare every month, consider setting up a reoccurring donation to support toast.ooo and the other things i run :)

donations are accepted via liberapay at https://liberapay.com/sc07/donate liberapay accepts credit cards & paypal, whichever is easier for you

donating is completely optional, please do not feel pressured to donate

donations will go towards:

• maintenance of the services
• off-site backups
• development of projects (such as Canvas)

this has been setup for a while but it's just been one line on the sidebar of the site and i decided i should make a post about it :P

If you notice any spam posts/accounts, make sure to report them so they can get banned!

You can also message me on Matrix

here's the update announcement

News Post

we've updated!

• 0.19.0 Changelog
• 0.19.1 Changelog

Edit (like 9hrs later): Posts can now properly be loaded inside Mastodon (turns out it was an nginx config error from the early days of lemmy)

New users will no longer have to fill out an application to join toast.ooo, only requiring a valid email address to verify

why?

i feel that it was a roadblock for new people to get into toast.ooo because of having to wait to be approved instead of being automated

clothing?

thinking of maybe getting the toast.ooo logo embroidered on various clothing items if anyone else is also interested in that lmk

that's it

we've updated

We got a brand new logo & banner for this instance!

Art was done by Rivers, you should go check them out!

I'm posting from the mobile app right now. I can't seem to login through the browser. Anyone else experiencing that?

Lemmy had an XSS exploit and while it was unpatched, we were offline to protect yall

The exploit was patched and now we're back

happy lemmy-ing
