Lemmy (but not our server (yet)) has released v0.19.0. This is a big release with lots of new features, but it also breaks some things so we aren’t going to update until we see how it goes for other instances.

The main “breaking” change has to do with logging in. Once we update the server, everyone will have to log back in. It also breaks the current 2FA implementation, so everyone interested in that feature (yay 2FA!) will have to set it up again.

The biggest potential “break” is with individual app support. Most Lemmy apps have been updated to support the new version, but just in case any of our users are using a non-updated app, that’s another reason to hold off on the release. We’d hate to lose one of our any dedicated users because they have app trouble.

If you feel strongly that we should update right away, let us know in a comment!

Jerboa has already updated, but I agree it's better to wait for all major apps to have shipped an update before updating the server - unless there's any security reason to hurry.

I think all of the apps have been updated, actually. I wasn't sure about Sync for Lemmy, but it was updated a couple of weeks ago.
