I know, the app problems are super annoying. I wish Lemmy would just release 0.19 rather than sitting on it like this. They’re giving app developers two months to update and only a handful have done it.
I understand that a few apps are waiting on 0.19 imminent release before updating. (Incidentally Voyager should work fine even with the latest RC but because of the way authentication works on 0.19 the native app is best rather than the PWA (a PWA can’t technically support both <0.19 and 0.19))
The other app issue is that several are essentially no longer being developed or at least very slowly developed eg Liftoff! Which hasn’t seen a commit in over three months
Adding in various instance issues with lone or missing admins and servers going offline, it’s a wonder Lemmy is still around.
They should just pull their apps from the store if they are going to abandon them. I know APIs aren't supposed to change like this but it is rediculous to just leave an app up that won't work. It also makes the fediverse seem more shabby.
Hey! Just wanted to say: It works again! Yay!
