Lemmy Development Update April 2026 - Lemmy

During the past month we finished the remaining, major tasks for 1.0 alpha. This means that we are ready to publish the first beta version in the next days! In particular we optimized database queries to have reasonable performance. While most are fairly efficient now, some are still too slow and would appreciate help from SQL experts [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6460]. @adrgs and @aisafe-bot found a few security vulnerabilities in the development version. Many thanks for doing this important work. - Resend verification endpoint exposes registered email addresses [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/security/advisories/GHSA-qxrw-f6fh-34r7] - Private Lemmy instances expose multi-community metadata without authentication [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/security/advisories/GHSA-jmxc-hhwx-gvv3] - Private community data exposed through community, saved, liked, and modlog API views [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/security/advisories/GHSA-95q8-x6r6-672m] You can follow our development progress with these milestone links: - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/milestone/24 [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/milestone/24] - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/milestone/5 [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/milestone/5] To see the new features and visual updates in production, you can visit voyager.lemmy.ml [https://voyager.lemmy.ml/] which deploys new changes every night.

Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations. To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be. Donate [https://join-lemmy.org/donate]

Sorry for the short notice, but will be doing some updates to the server while I get the chance. This will involve downtime as the server restarts. The maintenance window lasts 1 hour. You can keep an eye on status.lemmy.zip [https://status.lemmy.zip/] if anything unusual happens and we don’t come back online! Thanks Demigodrick
