Jerboa app and Lemmy 0.18 (self.lemmyworld)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by ruud to c/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.

Good decision.

Jerboa also won't work with Android older than 8.0 though that's less of a problem for server ops. But it still seems like reliance on unnecessary shiny tech. My 5yo Android 7 phone still works perfectly well and I plan to keep using it a while longer, so I can't use the official Lemmy app. I wonder how fundamental Jerboa's dependence on Android 8 is. Anyone know?

Thanks for the update, keep it up!

Frequently getting "404: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site" when trying to visit posts here, maybe due to some backend overload. I guess you know about this but mentioning because I didn't notice other posts about it.

My Jerboa somehow isn't yet updated, so I am safe..

It's just me or comments posted from this instance to instances in 0.18 don't appear to be syncing?, It's that normal?

If your looking for another app to use in the mean time you can use https://wefwef.app if you add it to your homescreen it will work like a native app.

Good decision, thank you!

Doesn't the CI pipeline not produce an installable build with that patch applied somewhere?
