Voyager is dropping support for Lemmy 0.18 on March 18 (lemmy.world)

Hi! Just a quick announcement that I plan to drop support for Lemmy 0.18 in the Voyager app on March 18 2024.

Due to authentication changes in lemmy 0.18->0.19, this means that you will be unable to login to instances running lemmy 0.18.

Most instances have already upgraded to 0.19. I encourage Instances running 0.18 to upgrade as soon as possible. Those instances include:

lemmy.world (✅ ~~upgrade planned~~ upgraded March 3rd)
sh.itjust.works (✅ ~~upgrade planned~~ upgraded Feb 29th)
lemmy.blahaj.zone (✅ ~~upgrade planned~~ upgraded March 9th)
beehaw.org (⚠️ unknown upgrade timeline)

If you are a user on beehaw.org, please let your instance administrator know.

In addition, if you are on a very small instance, please check that it is running lemmy 0.19. You can do so by going to the community list -> header ellipse icon -> instance sidebar -> version listed at end of instance statistics.

This deadline will only be extended if lemmy.world is unable to upgrade by March 18.

If you are self-hosting Voyager, you can continue connecting to a v0.18 instance past this date by staying on Voyager 1.x (I will be dropping lemmy 0.18 support as a major version bump).

Voyager is dropping support for Lemmy...

Almost gave me a heart attack for a brief moment with that title. I use this app so damn much.

[–] Fake4000@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

Drop support of Lemmy 18 on the 18th. Nice 👍

Thanks brother

Great work as always

[–] Link@rentadrunk.org 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Any reason why? Is it just to make maintenance easier or is there another reason?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 32 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Mostly because I don't want to spend my free time supporting outdated lemmy versions.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 5 points 7 months ago

Makes sense, thank you for your work!

[–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just a heads up @aeharding@lemmy.world, today the beehaw.org admins have confirmed they are not planning to upgrade past 0.18.4 and are advising users to find another app.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Thanks! Yeah, I put a popup in app in the latest release so beehaw users have a few days at least to transition to something else.

You really should wait for Lemmy.World to migrate, stabilize, and then make the migration announcement.

Otherwise you’re going to strand a massive user base.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This deadline will only be extended if lemmy.world is unable to upgrade by March 18.

Goooood.
