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.

That’s impressive

Yes but it's also not that uncommon for Google phones to get many years of updates thanks to community ROMs. Google actually supports old Android versions for a pretty long time, it's just that suites at Google don't want them to formally ship on their own phones and that's how LineageOS and even smaller community ROMs get support those phones with "relatively little" effort (at least compared to phones by random Android OEMs).

That's good to hear. I would be curious to get a Pixel 4a, put LineageOS on it and see how long it would last

FYI: You can't just install LinreageOS on top. It'll require a full wipe. Should you do cloud backups anyway, the step is not that bad. If you never dabbled with that, it's a bit intimidating at first but actually it's not that hard once you grasped the basics.

Thanks, I was well aware ha ha

I have a 4a right now, plan to replace the battery sometime and switch to a community ROM when Google's formal support ends
