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.
Not just you. There is something fishy with this instance’s connections to other instances and vice-versa. I’ve been looking into it from the outside. Of all the connections made to my instance, about 80% fail negotiating TLS. I’m not a protocol expert, but it’s ONLY lemmy.world and it’s not a cipher issue, because it does OCCASIONALLY connect and post some updates.
