Jerboa app and Lemmy 0.18 (self.lemmyworld)

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.

If you download Jerboa from F-droid instead of play store you can reinstall the previous versions.

It won't work if you're registered on lemmy.world, no matter which version of Jerboa you install

I'm confused, I'm literally on jerboa right now. When is this supposed to break?

[–] twistedtxb 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's a catch 22.

If you're registered on lemmy.world, you need Jerboa 34 or earlier. But since Jerboa first checks on lemmy.ml (which requires v18 support) it automatically crashes.

I can still use Jerboa 35 but I can't login on my instance until 18.1 gets released.

Someone posted a workaround in the Jerboa community that worked for me. I was crashing on launch, but now it's working fine: https://lemmy.world/post/473968

I downloaded v0.0.5 from github and logged in with that, and then upgraded to 35. It seems to work now.

I still don't understand, I'm using Jerboa 34 right now but you're saying it shouldn't work?

[–] twistedtxb 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's because you're already logged in. Don't log out until the next version!

[–] self_comprehensive 1 points 1 year ago

I'm confused too. I dl'd Jerboa from the play store three days ago and it seems to be working fine but I'm a noob maybe I don't know what broken looks like

[–] KazuyaDarklight 1 points 1 year ago

33 works fine
