Voyager is dropping support for Lemmy 0.18 on March 18 - Lemmy.World
lemmy.world
Hi! Just a quick announcement that I plan to drop support for Lemmy 0.18 in the Voyager app on March 18 2024. Due to authentication changes in lemmy 0.18->0.19, this means that you will be unable to login to instances running lemmy 0.18. Most instances have already upgraded to 0.19. I encourage Instances running 0.18 to upgrade as soon as possible. Those instances include: - lemmy.world (upgrade planned March 3rd) - sh.itjust.works (upgrade planned Feb 29th) - lemmy.blahaj.zone (committed to upgrading by March 18th) - beehaw.org [http://beehaw.org] (⚠️ unknown upgrade timeline) If you are a user on lemmy.blahaj.zone or beehaw.org [http://beehaw.org], please let your instance administrator know. In addition, if you are on a very small instance, please check that it is running lemmy 0.19. You can do so by going to the community list -> header ellipse icon -> instance sidebar -> version listed at end of instance statistics. This deadline will only be extended if lemmy.world is unable to upgrade by March 18. If you are self-hosting Voyager, you can continue connecting to a v0.18 instance past this date by staying on Voyager 1.x (I will be dropping lemmy 0.18 support as a major version bump).

    For a moment there I thought a Lemmy app was no longer going to support Lemmy lol.

    I just switched instances away from lemmy.world since it is still running 0.18

      So what you’re saying is that everyone using Voyager will effectively be temporarily defederated from .World? 🤔

        Read the post. lemmy.world is planning to upgrade weeks before Voyager drops 0.18 support. Even still, Voyager states they will extend the deadline if lemmy.world doesn’t upgrade by March 18th.

            They posted earlier today that the upgrade will be done this Saturday.

          Ah ok, good! Apologies for being too hasty at the time heh

        No you just won’t be able to login. You can still federate with lemmy.world from other instances.

          Good thing I have a couple alts for just such an occasion then heh 😁

      They actually updated recently.

      What the hell… shouldn’t Voyager wait until the biggest instance upgrades before pulling this? Maybe I’ll end up on another app and not return…

        19.X has been released a few months ago now.

        18.X and 19.X manage login differently, it makes sense to only support the current version

          Go to lemmy.world and scroll down. Says they’re on 18.5

              I see… that’s good then. Lemmy world posted in January that they’d be upgraded to 0.19 by the end of the month. It’s now a month later.
