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.

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

To answer your question about if they removed websocket support (a couple of days late, so you might already have the answer), it looks like that’s exactly what happened.

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.

I reinstalled 0.34 and there was maybe 5 times where it would crash within a second or two of app launch. Eventually it was stable enough to let me log in to beehaw though and it’s been fine since
