Pretty sure Im on lemmy.world so how do I notify the admin(s) or when are they going to upgrade?
Kinda odd they wouldn’t have planned these upgrades together…
They implemented the version checking in the app so…
I think 0.18 doesn’t have a captcha so in order to avoid a flood of bots Lemmy.world is waiting for it to be patched.
Bingo. Same with Beehaw and many others.
0.18 was a big change (for example websockets to http), I’d imagine future versions are unlikely to be so drastic and will allow Jerboa to be compatible with older versions
Yes, it’s due to removing Websocket in v. 0.18. It’s supposed to be fixed in 0.18.1. I’m also on Lemmy.world and haven’t had too many issues on the latest version of Jerboa but they recommend using the previous version or a different app for the time being. That said, for the main reason we’re getting so many Reddit refugees being an issue with third-party apps, particularly on mobile, pushing an update to the official app here that requires a site version not all the main instances are on board with isn’t a good PR look.
Yeah this is definitely a downside to a “fediverse”.
You can be federated and all that comes with it but you need governance. This rollout seems half baked and uncoordinated.
It’s alpha software. You should expect it to be half-baked.
As others already stated, lemmy.world skipping 1.8.0 on purpose because of the captcha. My main app is jerboa but currently I’m using liftoff, a little bit more aesthetically and they are pushing update after update literally multiple times a day on github
