Recommendation from app developer is to use web interface until your instance uptates to 0.18, and probably to 0.18.1 since than will captcha be back.

They had to do it since they changed from using websockets to http calls in 0.18. Maybe downgrading is of jerboa is possible.

Is there any page where Jerboa devs describes what is the policy for backward compatibility?

Since not all servers updated synchronously with new Lemmy release it's a good practice to support several older versions.

The admin for my instance claims that 0.18 is very buggy, won't update the server until the next version is out and bugs are fixed. The new Jerboa still runs for me, but its a bit wonky... I might just downgrade back to the previous version until its sorted out.

Do not sign out of your account during this time, as you will not be able to sign back in. If this is of interest to you.

Server version (0.17.4) is under the minimum supported version (0.18).

Please inform your administrator and login to another instance, or sign out and use the default instance.

Your admin is someone who controls your instance. This community is for the Jerboa app, and the app is informing you with the message

Yup I thought this would happen. I ended up using Lemmy.ml again until instances update. My phone updated Jerboa and now I can't get into my ordinary instance.

Connect for Lemmy is a pretty stable alternative.

I got the message from Jerboa using 0.0.35 from Fdroid but oddly I can just dismiss it and use it just fine. There is an 0.0.36 from Izzy but I'm not able to upgrade to it to test.

Yeah, I have two Lemmy accounts (one on Lemmy.ml and one on Lemmy.world, since Lemmy.ml won't let me add nsfw instances to my subscriptions list for whatever reason) and I've had to start using Thunder as my app for Lemmy.world and Jerboa for Lemmy.ml til this whole mess gets sorted out.
