This is starting to feel like a regular thing, but we're now on 0.18.2.

Release notes are here - https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-07-11_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.18.2

Do people value me posting this each time we upgrade? Should I continue? Edit: answer is yes!

Thanks! I wish there were better web UI options (not just themes). Voyager is neat for mobile, but isn't great for desktop browsing. I hope more tools or alternative UIs popup (or even something like RES for lemmy).

Mobile apps are coming. Personally I was a long time sync user, so I'm excited for Sync for lemmy.

You can run android apps on Windows now I think.

Yeah, I love the mobile apps we have already, I'm using Connect and Voyager (wefwef). I'm personally waiting for Boost for Lemmy, then it'll be like the good old days again!

On desktop though, the UI leaves a lot to be desired. I can't block communities on the feed or hide posts, for instance. Apps on Windows would have worked, but the UI is usually optimized for small touchscreens, which isn't great. I'm sure the UI on desktop will improve soon.
