This is nothing new: Jerboa doesn't support instances < 0.18.
It is new. 0.0.36 worked find on 0.17.4. There was just the update message. Now the app just crashes on start.
This is more than weird. Jerboa dropped support for instances < 0.18 a few releases ago. I think 0.0.34-alpha was the last version that supported 0.17.4.
It worked if you were still logged in.
Yes you're right but this wasn't exactly intended.
Can anybody confirm why? The bigger instances are all on 0.17.4 still, aren't they?
The Lemmy API gives back log in info slightly different so the app couldn't handle it.
Lemmy 0.18 introduced API breaking changes namely because it switched from WebSocket to HTTP as transfer protocol.
They also dropped captcha support in 0.18 which is the reason why lemmy.world and other bigger instances are waiting for 0.18.1 to re-introduce captcha support.
ah now it makes sense. Thats whay I had to uninstall jerboa because the logged in instance did not support 0.18
