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.

Thanks for being so on top of this.

Damn, that sucks. Is manual approving + email not enough for the time being?

EDIT: I see that in the GitHub issue you linked, you answer this question. TLDR: No, it is not enough it seems.

Jerboa just quit when I tried using it on Android - Pixel 5 w/Android 12. Wouldn't open at all, so I quit on it. Trying out Summit now

If you are logged in you can just update Jerboa to v0.0.35 and you'll get a message saying that the app works better with Lemmy v0.18 but it still works.

If you are not logged in, then use Jerboa v0.0.34 to log in and then update to v0.0.35

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

[-] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The release candidates for 0.18 were published at an almost daily basis. I think it's fair to assume .1 won't take forever.

Anything stopping new members from signing up is going to hurt the adoption of the platform as a whole.

[-] andyli@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There are still many other instances that accept signups, so I don't think temporally disabling lemmy.world signup will hurt lemmy.

However, having a popular client incompatible with a popular instance will annoy existing and new users.

This is a classic damned if you do damned if you don't. Right now engagement of the users that are already here and adoption of new users is of equal importance.

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 I was getting that instance outdated popup on jerboa app, thought a logout and re-login would resolve it.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..

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.

Thanks ruud I'm having a really good time.

[-] HerrLewakaas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

Has the websocket api been removed from Lemmy with this update?

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes

[-] bquinlan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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!
