The 0.18 version of Lemmy was announced. This will solve many issues.
But we can’t upgrade yet because the captcha was removed, and captcha relied on Websockets, which are removed in 0.18 so despite the devs agreeing on my request to add captcha back, this will not be until 0.18.1. Without captcha we will be overrun by bots.
Hopefully this 0.18.1 will be released soon, because another issue is that the newest version of the Jerboa app won’t work with servers older than 0.18. So if you’re on Lemmy.world, please (temporarily) use another app or the web version.
What phone do you use? You can try out the custom roms that can upgrade your phone and help you avoid e-waste.
Moto G4 from around 2017, it’s not on the list for Lineage. Custom roms are of interest though I’m a bit hesitant to mess with the roms of the phone that I use all the time. I’m not a fancy phone user but I run a few F-droid apps and make occasional phone calls.
