Lemmy.world currently will not update to the new version of the software, which is 18.0, and so we're waiting for the 18.1 to come out. Until then, you'd need to use the browser version
Despite what the warning says, Jerboa still works fine on my 17.4 instance. It just pops up that message every time you open it.
The warning is somewhat confusing. Second paragraph should say something like log into an instance that has updated to the latest version. You can always see the instance version at the bottom of the page when using a desktop browser.
Looks like the recent update is is around half adopted across all the instances based on what I've seen. Some instance admins are holding out for the 0.18.1 version where captchas will be reinstated.
Captchas had to be disabled for the 0.18.0 transition from web sockets to http. The migration away from web sockets improves client performance quite a bit and obviously it's essential for Jeroba.
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.
For the iOS folks out there: Mlem is also seemingly unaffected.
I'm on jerboa and lemmy.world is working fine for me, though.
I believe lemmy.world is not updating until 0.18.1 since it uses CAPTCHAs to try to prevent bot signups. Nothing you can due besides rolling back your mobile app to the previous version if possible.
0.18 is the latest version of Lemmy. It has some issues with SPAM prevention. Most are waiting for 0.18.1 to release, bringing back some SPAM prevention tools. The app is developed by the same developers as Lemmy and they released some features that require 0.18 in the app.
If it's possible you could rollback to an older version of the app until the sites you subscribe to update.
Dunno but i fixed it by switching to an older version of Jerboa
