Hello everyone,

I know it's summer and people are probably on annual leave, but do you have any idea on when you guys are going to update to the 0.19.5 version?

No, things are moving along though (pictrs upgrade was just completed). Again I'm not going to give a date were going to upgrade at apart from warning before we do so since it won't be followed due to us all being volunteers and things changing due to issues coming up

0.19.4 is annoying since it adds the hashtag additions where posts are auto hashtagged with the community name. I was aiming to Ideally remove that from the codebase before we upgrade but we might have to upgrade with that in it

is the feature that bad? I haven't heard complaints about it, seems cool to me

Since mods and admins can't control what gets hashtagged it can hashtag the completely wrong things

For example we have a community called c/loud. This is a cloud community but will be hashtagged with #loud

We also have a community called c/meta and similar other communities but the hashtag should be something similar to programming.dev meta since meta itself doesn't make sense. Currently its assuming you know what scope of meta you're in due to it being attached to the instance but hashtags are free for alls so the hashtag is going to be impossible to follow (other communities that fall within this are comics, events, books as they are programming or programming.dev specific which is currently assumed due to the url)

Thank you for your answer (and your work on the instance)!
