2.14.0

New Feature: Improved Thumbnail Scraping

The only new feature this release: Improved thumbnails in comments and when Lemmy fails to provide one. Currently this is only enabled on youtube.com, but the architecture is set up to add generalized scraping and other sites.

Because this feature requires fetching a thumbnail directly from the site, it has some privacy implications. You can turn off this feature (on by default) in Settings -> General -> Find Thumbnails When Missing

This is great to prevent being rick rolled ;)

Until next time!
