Jerboa app and Lemmy 0.18

Ruud@lemmy.worldmod to Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world – 107 points –

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.

Thanks. I installed Jerboa yesterday and it was not working. Glad to know this may be the cause. I can wait for 0.18.1 for mobile access

You can install 0.0.34 off github in the meantime: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases

That version crash on launch for me. Anyway to fix it?

EDIT: I fix it doing like this:

  1. Run the app in offline mode (airplane mode).
  2. Than go to login, and try sign in with your account.
  3. Turn on internet again.
  4. Once logged in, I updated the apps, and I am still logged in.

That's strange, it is like you can be logged in, but the devs just opted to not allow you to.
