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.

      The new version from GitHub will give a warning, but mostly works with an outdated Lemmy version. That’s how I’m typing this very comment.

      It does have a few actions that result in an immediate crash on outdated servers, but posting, commenting, following communities and reading notifications work.

      Oh, and you must be logged in already. New logins do not work.

          Ahh. That’s really not good. In a time where we are expanding we have broken captcha resorting in instances protecting themselves from bots breaking the best Android app. Wonderful.
