Right, but that could have been delayed until prod release. It would give the developers of 3rd party apps chance to adopt rather than scramble and push last minute fixes.
Plus I'd imagine that a lot of users that aren't super technically inclined might open their apps, try to use them, fail ungracefully and give up on the idea of lemmy.
Breaking changes announced more than a month ago. We needed some features of 0.19 and we needed to push. Look at the apps right now. They’re becoming compatible one by one.
Also I checked the changes. Its nothing. Half-hour job to be done. IDK why it took so long on their side.
But you’re right. As a big instance, we shouldn’t do this kind of changes but as I said, we really needed some changes like pict-rs changes.
I'm curious, why are you guys running beta lemmy on production site?
Because somebody has to upgrade to start the adoption.
