I'm going to assume it means that the client (installed app) is moving so fast (and breaking compatibility so fast) that some servers are currently unable (or don't want) to keep up. A reason to hold versions is, for example, to have more stability assurances.
The Lemmy ecosystem is going to be a mess for the next months until everything is properly oiled.
Sort of. If I understand correctly something in 18 broke captcha so they can't use it without being swarmed by bots. It will supposedly be repaired with server version 18.1. The Connect app for Lemmy doesn't seem to have an issue with the older server version if people want to give that a try. Jerboa is broken with lemmy.world currently.
I'm on jerboa and lemmy.world is working fine for me, though.
For the iOS folks out there: Mlem is also seemingly unaffected.
