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.

    LineageOS doesn’t pass google’s SafetyNet, so it locks you out of a lot of banking apps, and also some other important apps.

    It’s possible to run those by rooting the phone and doing some hackery to trick the app into bypassing the SafetyNet check, but that’s a race against google security features.

    Besides, I gave up running LOS on my old phone and just bought a new phone with stock android 13, and Jerboa crashes on startup on it as well.

      There are Magisk modules that help with those problems. Yes, it’s additional work but using ancient, unsupported, and insecure Android versions is definitively not the proper solution.
