Jerboa app and Lemmy 0.18 (lemmy.world)

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 for being so on top of this.

So that's why Jerboa crashes as soon as I log in.

Moved to Connect, happy with that.

Thanks ruud I'm having a really good time.

[–] bquinlan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ouch. I understand exactly how things like that happen, but it is unfortunate. Hope it's resolved quickly.

There is a tremendous amount of pressure on everyone in the development/admin chain right now because of the insane influx of new users. (I'm one of them.) It amazes me how well everyone has been handling it. And I am grateful to all of you!

Damn, that sucks. Is manual approving + email not enough for the time being?

EDIT: I see that in the GitHub issue you linked, you answer this question. TLDR: No, it is not enough it seems.

How about temporarily disabling sign ups until 0.18.1? As more apps update to 0.18 it'll be annoying to juggle versions.

And to anyone using Jerboa, be sure not to update past v0.0.34 until you see server v0.18.1+ on lemmy.world.

Dev of Summit here. Summit v0.1.17 was released recently and this version is backwards compatible and should support both 0.18 and older servers if anyone wants to give it a go for the time being. It is still missing a lot of feature though.

I tried that app over a week ago (F-Droid) and it just crashed 5 times just me trying to read the refugee welcome message.
Now that my beehaw account got approved a few days ago, I thought I give it a try again to use it with the app (Play Store), but now it crashes as soon as I start it while it loads its changelog message.
Hopefully one of the other 9 clients is going to have something more stable to offer than this.

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.

Why was captcha even removed in the 1sr place?

[–] u_1f914@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

Captchas depended on websockets which were removed.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3200#issuecomment-1600505757

"Note that captcha uuids and answers were stored in-memory in the websocket server which is removed now, so its necessary to add a new database table for captchas."

Thank you for posting this explanation.

[–] HerrLewakaas@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Omg I was just getting on track developing my own Lemmy app based on websockets and now they are being removed... welp

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

While I understand your frustration, the change was announced beforehand.

[–] HerrLewakaas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Should've paid attention I guess
