Jerboa and Lemmy instance incompatible versions after today's update
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..
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
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.
I think part of the problem is the big influx of people. They weren't prepared and now they are trying their best to keep up.
It's alpha software. You should expect it to be half-baked.
Valid
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
It makes sense, appreciate the info.
