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)

        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).
