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.

Here is a link to the current state of captcha re-implementation: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3289

This request was reopened after it was merged prematurely. You can read the preceding discussion here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3249

Lemmy Devs have agreed to add it back, so I dont thing it will be long.

Thank you for posting this explanation.

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

Fun fact, the reason why login is incompatible between 0.17 and 0.18 is in 0.18, the value of the user's default sort order and "listing order" (eg. all, local or subscribed) was changed from an numeric value to a string (text) value.

beehaw only seems to support 0.17.4 rn

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Should've paid attention I guess

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.

So that's why Jerboa crashes as soon as I log in.

Moved to Connect, happy with that.

Lemmymade seems to work for now. But some features are missing there I think.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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