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.

    If you are logged in you can just update Jerboa to v0.0.35 and you’ll get a message saying that the app works better with Lemmy v0.18 but it still works.

    If you are not logged in, then use Jerboa v0.0.34 to log in and then update to v0.0.35

      Fun fact, the reason why login is incompatible between 0.17 and 0.18 is in 0.18, the value of the user’s default sort order and “listing order” (eg. all, local or subscribed) was changed from an numeric value to a string (text) value.
