lemmy.world 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 Inst...

For a moment there I thought a Lemmy app was no longer going to support Lemmy lol.
- My heart dropped for a second. I use this app so much.

I just switched instances away from lemmy.world since it is still running 0.18
- So what you're saying is that everyone using Voyager will effectively be temporarily defederated from .World? 🤔
  
  Read the post. lemmy.world is planning to upgrade weeks before Voyager drops 0.18 support. Even still, Voyager states they will extend the deadline if lemmy.world doesn’t upgrade by March 18th.
  
  No you just won’t be able to login. You can still federate with lemmy.world from other instances.
  
  That is what I gather from this post.
- They actually updated recently.
- What the hell… shouldn’t Voyager wait until the biggest instance upgrades before pulling this? Maybe I’ll end up on another app and not return…
  
  19.X has been released a few months ago now.
  
  18.X and 19.X manage login differently, it makes sense to only support the current version
  
  Also, having a look at !voyagerapp@lemmy.world, LW and SJW will update before 18th of March, so it seems reasonable
