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.

    That’s good to hear. I would be curious to get a Pixel 4a, put LineageOS on it and see how long it would last

      I have a 4a right now, plan to replace the battery sometime and switch to a community ROM when Google’s formal support ends

      FYI: You can’t just install LinreageOS on top. It’ll require a full wipe. Should you do cloud backups anyway, the step is not that bad. If you never dabbled with that, it’s a bit intimidating at first but actually it’s not that hard once you grasped the basics.
