I have a fork of Jerboa to help with any login issues for those with accounts still on 0.17.x, until either the servers upgrade or until a newer version allows connecting to both 0.18 and pre 0.18 servers.

Later tomorrow I will include a version with the app name changed so that it can run alongside dessalines’ version.

      Because if you’re not logged in, it will try to load lemmy.ml and crash.

      I still got it to work by spam tapping in the right places to open the log-in page.

        What? Why does it crash? Did they just completely removed websockets so the applications are entirely incompatible between versions of Lemmy?

            I get they did that. I just kinda thought the UI would stop using it, not that it would kill all clients. It’s just a bit off but I guess they wanted to rip the bandaid off quickly as Lemmy popularity soared.

              Yeah, I don’t know if it’s how I would approach the situation if I had more dev resources, but as a (primarily) 2-person outfit, I can see why they took that route. It’s really easy to fall into the trap of “mark it as obsolete and create a tech debt item to remove it completely,” then never have time to go back for it. Next thing you know, you finally address it a year or two later and find out that you broke someone’s workflow
