The update is under review by Google

That is an amazingly quick turnaround. I love what you have created here.

It got pushed through last night for me and everything works again. Thanks for the quick update!

Out of curiosity what changes occured that caused this issue? It may help others fix/allow Lemmy hosts to communicate better with client developers prior to a release

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's worth noting that Lemmy 0.19 isn't actually released yet, and Lemmynsfw is (currently) running a beta version

[โ€“] dugmeup 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes that does mess things up. I wonder why the instance decided to move to.a beta release. I also wonder if the actual release of 0.19 will fix this bug and make it backwards compatible.

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

No, 0.19 will not be backwards compatible. This has been announced by the Lemmy devs weeks ago on [email protected] and [email protected] which is the channel for app developers to look out for important developing announcements.

Now the devs wanted to put their own instance onto the beta and then release 0.19 . For some unknown reason some other instances updated to the beta versions as well.
