Hi everyone,

We've now upgraded to v0.19.5 - this update includes the changes from v0.19.4, which we had not yet upgraded to. This is a relatively big one, and you can find details here:

v0.19.4

v0.19.5

Here are some of the user-facing highlights:

• There is now a dropdown option to hide posts.

• You can now view and delete all images you've previously uploaded.

• Federation has been improved in a number of ways. It's now possible to federate with Wordpress, Discourse, and NodeBB. Federation with Mastodon has been improved, and we should now be federated with more servers on that platform. Most posts to our communities should automatically receive a hashtag matching the community's name (e.g., #startrek, #daystrominstitute, etc.). This is dependent on the poster's home instance, though, so only posts from servers which are running v0.19.4 or higher will receive the hashtags.

• There's now a user setting to change how votes are displayed - you can see or hide upvotes, downvotes, score, upvote %, or none.

I'd also like to remind you that we have two alternative interfaces available:

• https://old.startrek.website/ is a suspciously familiar-looking user experience.

• https://vger.startrek.website/ is a nice mobile-first experience. If you've ever used the Voyager mobile app, this is that.

Edit: We also have a wiki, which is open to users who feel inspired to develop resources for this community!

Finally, we remain eternally grateful to all users who are able to support startrek.website by contributing to our Patreon - your generosity helps to keep the lights on!
