It's awesome to see the growth, but as a small question, why don't all the instances upgrade to version 0.18? Maybe that version isn't stable enough?
0.18 removed checks and balances to limit bot signups. lemmy.world won't upgrade until this is in place.
Thanks!!
Yep, so now I need to put up with Jerboa whining at me every time I log in. Just the latest in what's likely to be a long line of teething problems. It's really unfortunate that the same guy is one of the primary devs of both the Lemmy server and the android client, as it allows him to use one to put pressure on the other. He could E.G. make it so Jerboa refuses to connect to any instance that refuses to update rather than just displaying an annoying dialog like it currently does.
You can use the website for the meantime. It's fairly responsively designed.
Try Liftoff it's a pretty sweet app
Hmm, I can't seem to find that anywhere. I checked the play store and f-droid but it's not in either one, at least not under the name liftoff.
you can install apk from their Github page https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/releases
To clarify the vague "checks and balances" statement that you were given, it was the captcha feature. It will be added back in 0.18.1
