Reasons I can think of:
The official Android client for lemmy, Jerboa, only supports 0.18 and later, unless users download older version from github and sideload manually.
Sorting is broken pre 0.18, new posts keeps flowing in.
Performance improvement by removing web socket from lemmy. (which fixes 2, which is why 1. happens)
Jerboa works fine with lemmy world, it just gives a warning and crashes on occasion. Not an issue to use it though.
Yes, if you are already logged in. If you are not logged in, or get logged out you will not be able to log back in until the server version is above 0.18
And jerboa recommended logging out. Hmm.
