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.

Ouch. I understand exactly how things like that happen, but it is unfortunate. Hope it's resolved quickly.

There is a tremendous amount of pressure on everyone in the development/admin chain right now because of the insane influx of new users. (I'm one of them.) It amazes me how well everyone has been handling it. And I am grateful to all of you!

Omg I was just getting on track developing my own Lemmy app based on websockets and now they are being removed... welp

While I understand your frustration, the change was announced beforehand.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Should've paid attention I guess

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks for being so on top of this.

And to anyone using Jerboa, be sure not to update past v0.0.34 until you see server v0.18.1+ on lemmy.world.

After installing Jerboa from the Play Store I encountered the crashing issue everyone is mentioning. I was able to seemingly fix the issue by going into the App Info -> Storage and hit Clear Storage. After it cleared it's been working fine for me. Hopefully this works for you folks unless I'm missing something about the issue.

It's just me or comments posted from this instance to instances in 0.18 don't appear to be syncing?, It's that normal?

Thanks ruud I'm having a really good time.

Thunder, which is on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo is a decent Lemmy Android app that plays well with lemmy.world currently. It also supposedly has an iOS version.

Should've read this first. I was getting that instance outdated popup on jerboa app, thought a logout and re-login would resolve it. Now I can't login, my mistake..

Thank you for posting this explanation.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

How about temporarily disabling sign ups until 0.18.1? As more apps update to 0.18 it'll be annoying to juggle versions.

Doesn't the CI pipeline not produce an installable build with that patch applied somewhere?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

If your looking for another app to use in the mean time you can use https://wefwef.app if you add it to your homescreen it will work like a native app.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I tried that app over a week ago (F-Droid) and it just crashed 5 times just me trying to read the refugee welcome message.
Now that my beehaw account got approved a few days ago, I thought I give it a try again to use it with the app (Play Store), but now it crashes as soon as I start it while it loads its changelog message.
Hopefully one of the other 9 clients is going to have something more stable to offer than this.

beehaw only seems to support 0.17.4 rn
