Thanks for all the hard work etc.

Like many other users I am now unable to use my SDF account with my Lemmy apps. As some commenters here have pointed out this seems to be due to SDF upgrading server to version 0.19 which isn’t ready and breaks app support- see

Please could we rollback to the previous working version for general/production use pending a working upgraded version

Thanks!

Edit: For everyone recommending to use Voyager, thanks, but I thought Lemmy was meant to be about federation. Perhaps others will switch but personally I am not interested in jumping through hoops moving my settings across because of an inappropriate version change.

Voyager works after logging out and back in, if you're looking for a short term solution?

[–] ImInPhx@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Ah that worked for me too. Thanks :)

Worked on Memmy For Lemmy on iOS. Thanks!

I thought it was just me! I woke up one day to find that I was logged out, and I couldn’t log in via my apps or even via the Lemmy UI. I thought I had been banned!

Kinda reminds me of the earlier days of Linux drivers

kernel upgrade borking sound card or similar wasn't uncommon.

Of course, breaking changes are expected while development is on 0.X. But does that mean you would or should install updates known to have breaking changes on a system which is used by other people without notifying them (in advance)?

Same for Thunder and Liftoff, for me

[–] richteratmosphere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I'm running Thunder v0.2.6-2 (downloaded from GitHub), and it's working with lemmy.sdf.org.

That being said, I missed using Sync, so I created an account at sh.itjustworks, and manually added all of my communities. Major pain in the neck, but at least I can use Sync.

Memmy isn’t working for me either. I’ve logged out and in again, but requests are failing.

Let’s hope that the clients get updated soon

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I happened to be in the same situation with a smaller instance and mods concluded it's irreversible. I can't use them with a clients that doesn't support these future changes, and it's like a month since that happened. Hope your problem can be resolved, but it's on admins automatically updating servers and Lemmy distribution channel owners making and pushing such updates without a notice.

[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know how 'irreversible' it might be in this particular situation, but I've had to fall back to one of my alt accounts on another instance. I'm not sure how sensible it is to stay on a smaller instance where the admins think it's clever to deploy a pre-release server version to production without notice, testing, or a rollback strategy

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

It was something to do with database reformating into a new state iirc.

Smaller instances aren't targeted by DDOS and trash posting for one. When Lemmyworld was down, I figured out I'd like more accounts so at least one of them works.

It obviously has risks of admins being less numerous, experienced and sometimes having that as their hobby project. But without them there's no fediverse, there should be more interconnected instances so one major one can't become the next Reddit with it's stupid decisions.

Just migrated from gerboa to voyager on f-droid. Voyager seems to work well so far.
