So every year till 2038. XD

explanation

If we are doing this, shouldn't we go straight to Kelvin? So we no longer have to deal with negative temperatures

As someone younger, I completely agree with you.

I was only talking about captcha's for account creation. To just log in they would indeed be to much of a hassle.

See the comment from Yote.zip and replies to that comment. For me it is fixed by installing v0.0.35 from github.

Thanks that was indeed the issue. v0.0.35 seems not to be available at fdroid yet. But I installed it from github and now the app is working fine again.

Completely agree, captcha's aren't gonna make it impossible to make bots, but it makes it more complicated. It will force bad actors to invest more time in it. Wich will turn some part of them away.

On a positive note, I think the fact that we see so many bot signups shows lemmy (the fediverse in general) is growing and matters, otherwise people wouldn't spend so much time and resources to make these bots. All big platforms have these kind of problems and need to learn how to deal with them.

This is indeed not an ideal situation, but I guess on most instances this isn't possible. I agree instances should require a captcha of some sort for signing up.

I have no idea about minimum requirements to get off the ground, but lemmy.ml mods recently made this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1234235 in wich they state they use a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram.
