Lemmy AMA March 2025

lemmy.ml/post/27659153

lemmy.mlLemmy AMA March 2025 - LemmyIn the last weeks Lemmy has seen a lot of growth, with thousands of new users. To welcome them we are holding this AMA to answer questions from the community. You can ask about the beginnings of Lemmy, how we see the future of Lemmy, our long-term goals, what makes Lemmy different from Reddit, about internet and social media in general, as well as personal questions. We’d also like to hear your overall feedback on Lemmy: What are its greatest strengths and weaknesses? How would you improve it? What’s something you wish it had? What can our community do to ensure that we keep pulling users away from US tech companies, and into the fediverse? Lemmy and Reddit may look similar at first glance, but there is a major difference. While Reddit is a corporation with thousands of employees and billionaire investors, Lemmy is nothing but an open source project run by volunteers. It was started in 2019 by @dessalines [https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines] and @nutomic [https://lemmy.ml/u/nutomic], turning into a fulltime job since 2020. For our income we are dependent on your donations [https://join-lemmy.org/donate], so please contribute if you can. We’d like to be able to add more full-time contributors to our co-op. We will start answering questions from tomorrow (Wednesday). Besides @dessalines and @nutomic, other Lemmy contributors may also chime in to answer questions: - @flamingos [https://feddit.uk/u/flamingos] - @dullbananas [https://lemmy.ca/u/dullbananas] - @phiresky [https://lemmy.world/u/phiresky] - @sleeplessone [https://lemmy.ml/u/sleeplessone] Here are our previous AMAs for those interested. - August 2023 [https://lemmy.ml/post/2920188] - January 2024 [https://lemmy.ml/post/11023519]

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. ## Developer AMA Next week we are going to hold an “Ask me Anything” where users can ask the Lemmy developers all sorts of questions. They will be answered by @dessalines [https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines] and @nutomic [https://lemmy.ml/u/nutomic] who have been working on Lemmy since the beginning in 2019.

This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation [https://nlnet.nl/], as well as donations from individual users [https://join-lemmy.org/donate]. 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 [https://join-lemmy.org/donate]. A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive, and helps us grow our little developer co-op to support more full-time developers. - Liberapay [https://liberapay.com/Lemmy] (preferred option) - Open Collective [https://opencollective.com/lemmy] - Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/dessalines] - Cryptocurrency [https://join-lemmy.org/crypto]

Guide to Interpreting Security Incident #Announcements:

"extremely sophisticated attack" : The attackers put more time into the attack than we spent designing our defences.

"no evidence customer #data was accessed" : We lack audit records and the logs have been rotated out.

"due to a misconfiguration issue" : We deployed with default #insecure settings.

"possible for only a short window" : We didn't dig too deep to determine how far back the bug existed.

"crafted invalid request data" : We forgot to add input #validation.

"supplementary fix" : We didn't understand the problem as well as we thought, so our previous fix was insufficient.

"may have been exploited" : We're positive they got away with data, but they deleted our #logs.

"multiple threat actors" : Everyone was in our systems before we noticed.

"most customers are unaffected" : There are corner cases that aren't as #vulnerable.

"error in a third-party component" : We forgot to update our dependencies.

"could lead to remote code execution" : You're #p0wned.

"malicious activity has been observed" : The issue has already appeared in the press.

"review equipment inventory to verify if devices require other mitigations" : You need to buy new stuff.

"remotely exploited to allow authentication bypass" : We forgot to require #login for this function.

"not aware of any exploits in the wild" : The attackers aren't bragging on darkweb fora yet.

Lemmy Release v0.19.9

lemmy.ml/post/25864324

lemmy.mlLemmy Release v0.19.9 - Lemmy# Lemmy v0.19.9 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. ## Changes This version fixes a potential security problem, by preventing Lemmy from accessing localhost URLs. There is also a fix for a crash during markdown parsing. Lemmy now uses mimalloc [https://microsoft.github.io/mimalloc/] instead of the system allocator (usually glibc), which should improve performance and prevent unlimited memory growth over time. ### Lemmy - Error handling for thumbnail generation [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5298] - Use mimalloc as memory allocator [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5378] - Additional security checks for URLs [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5338] (details [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/security/advisories/GHSA-7723-35v7-qcxw]) .
