Tomorrow, reddit will be shutting off 3rd party app access. If the twitter migration is anything to go by, that means that the wave of new users coming in the next few weeks will be much bigger than the wave we saw earlier this month.

Our lead techy admin @[email protected] is also recovering from broken bones and surgery, so she will be slower to respond to issues :)

All of that being said, we're as prepared as we can be. We're currently running our instance on hardware with excess capacity to spare, but who knows if it will be enough.

So, good luck to all of us, and see you on the other side :)

On that note, jeroba throws an error every time i open it about how this instance is older than the lowest supported version, but it seems like i can still use most of the sites functinality? Just thought i'd mention that

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 years ago

Yep, that's a screw up by the Jerboa devs. If we upgraded to 0.18 we would lose captcha, and version 0.18.1 with captcha hasn't been released yet. So there is no way for us to safely upgrade to the version Jerboa wants just yet.

Lucky, Jerboa just crashes on launch for me now.

[–] _danny 7 points 2 years ago

Same here. I've switched to liftoff now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mine isn't crashing on launch, but whew, seems like a few regressions in the latest build. Errors out the wazoo, lots of stuff not loading and hanging. I might dump the F-Droid version for now since I think the Play Store one is slightly older.

I'd recommend connect for lemmy, way more stable. Jerboa is unbelievably buggy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks! I'll give it a try. So far I've liked Jerboa over Summit and Liftoff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Same. Playing around with Connect though.

I switched from Jerboa to Thunder today. It's so much nicer, but still missing some features. The web app Wefwef is pretty nice too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I'm using connect for lemmy

[–] Flemmy 4 points 2 years ago

Like what? I'm about to launch an app just in time for the shutdown, my goal is to capture this wave and spread them out. If I haven't covered it already, I'll see if I can take care of it today

I use Memmy and i have no issues. They’re going to be in the App Store very soon according to changelog

Here’s a link to beta if you’re on iOS

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Jerboa kept crashing on me too. Im giving 'Connect' a try. It's ok - thou Im not a fan of the keyboard or the fact I constantly accidentally collapse threads

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hey! I just wanted to let you know for linking something, the [] are supposed for the text and the () are for the weblink address.

instead of being [https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD](link to beta)

it should be link to beta (I put in the address inside [] and the text inside () )

hope that helps!
