Would be great to get upgraded soon! Lots of UI improvements.

I'm getting this on Jerboa after their latest update today, I'm guessing it's temporary while we're upgrading but just wanted to point it out in case it was helpful in some way.

So v.35 of Jerboa supports only Lemmy 0.18.x

versions v.34 of Lemmy and earlier support Lemmy 0.17.x and lower.

The websocket to HTTP change is kind of breaking. I find if you were already logged in the app before the server updated you can still post and stuff in the server. But you can't log in anymore.

Same issue here. I won't pretend to understand the reasons behind it, only panic because I saw the error 😔 pop-up.

That explains why I can still see Beehaw and post comments through Jerboa, I was already logged in. I'm getting a few little bugs though, but that's to be expected with a new platform so I'm not too worried about it. It's kinda fun watching a new platform get started.

Beehaw has not updated to the newest version of Lemmy yet. Might be an issue with Jerboa, or just a coincidence error.

I'm looking forward to the UI changes also, as well as the switch to the HTTP API, but I'm really even more stoked about 0.18.1 (especially the CAPTCHA being redone) - which I feel like would be a better time to upgrade.

That said, it just came out today (like a half hour ago), so the admins will probably want to wait for stability's sake.

Admins are aware and are planning an upgrade. It's all volunteers juggling things of course, but there's active discussion going on. There are some potential changes to be reviewed. We should get updated soon^TM^

This update looks like it's going to be a huge upgrade with tons of fixes and improvements all around.
