Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

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. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.

What is single sign-on?

[–] Nothing4You@programming.dev 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

delegating authentication to another service.

one of the more commonly known options would be sign in with google, but this is also quite useful for providers hosting multiple services. a provider could host a service that handles authentication and then you only have to login once and will automatically get logged in for their lemmy, xmpp, wiki and other services they might be providing.
