Rudd said the same things as what I was writing so I’m stealing his post 😉

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.
You can “install” Reddthat via your browser and it gives you a little Lemmy shortcut called a PWA (progressive web app).
It’s super neat. Try it out if Jerboa is failing too often!
Oh no!
Apparently if you clear app data, and go aeroplane mode until you get the pop-up you can get around the initial crash of Jerboa.
The fact that you can’t login though on Firefox is weird. Try resetting your password to less than 20 characters, (there is a UI bug with this).
It seems to be a Firefox bug, I was able to log in fine using Samsung’s browser, though that’s less than ideal since I generally don’t use that. The Jerboa crash thing is weird, both F-Droid and Play have the same version number, but it’s only F-droid’s that crashes. I’ve tried pulling earlier versions, but they either crash or have the same 0.18 issue.
