The 0.18 version of Lemmy was announced. This will solve many issues.
But we can’t upgrade yet because the captcha was removed, and captcha relied on Websockets, which are removed in 0.18 so despite the devs agreeing on my request to add captcha back, this will not be until 0.18.1. Without captcha we will be overrun by bots.
Hopefully this 0.18.1 will be released soon, because another issue is that the newest version of the Jerboa app won’t work with servers older than 0.18. So if you’re on Lemmy.world, please (temporarily) use another app or the web version.
They were removed because they don’t work with the new system, not because someone felt like removing it. If someone volunteers to add them back, they’ll be back
What I mean is why couldn’t they postpone the 0.18.0 release then?
Because it addresses a number of critical bugs. Why is nobody in this thread reading the update announcement? They explain themselves well there.
@[email protected] maybe link to it in this post as it’d probably clear up a lot of confusion.
The first link in my post is to the release blog.
Oh fuck you’re right lmao, sorry
