This is also the place to post feedback on the Weekly beta (or you can just open an issue on our GitHub if that's your style).
Please be aware that this is an early beta build, may be missing features you consider essential. See the "Roadmap" section of our 2.0 release post for more details.

This is the initial beta release. We're still bringing 2.0 up to feature parity with 1.0--this build should have everything you need to browse and interact with Lemmy. Please note that post creation and moderation tools are not currently supported in the 2.0 build--post creation is in active development and moderator tools are a high-priority item, so if you want to join the beta but those are important to you, check back in a week or two!
We've also got some new features:
Markdown support
Tiled post layout
Keep place on account switch (allows you to switch accounts without fully reloading the app)
Guest accounts
Color themes
Check out our 2.0 release post for more details on the new release.
