Following this post yesterday, the errors encountered by other admins were sorted and we realized captchas were not enough of a reason to keep people from experince the best version of Lemmy.
We are now on v0.18 with registration applications turned on, this is a temporary requirement until captchas are added back. If you encounter any bugs with the new version please mention them in the comments.
(Clear your cache if the new version doesn’t load for you, should work fine after that.)
For me it says that instance is on 0.18 and ui on 0.17.4 missed the part where they said to clear the cache, will do that now
