Just need to sort out the wefwef issue, and we're back in business...
Latest version of Jerboa on Google Play doesn't work with servers below 0.18;
For those who want to use Jerboa to access lemmy.world before the upgrade to 0.18.x happens, you can install a specific release from GitHub instead of Google Play. I found version 0.0.34-alpha to work (using it rn to post this). https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases/tag/0.0.34
Edit: since the update is done, it's probably best to go back to latest version. Glad I helped someone!

Nice work!
Crossing my fingers, excited for the update
What happened? Or is this not yet done? Sorry Iโm kinda lost in the whole CET timings.
What is new with the updated version later today?
The difference between .17 and .18 is pretty substantial. Lemmy.world neglected to update to .18 because captcha support was not working for new account signups, so they waited for v0.18.1

There should be substantial performance improvements because it moves Lemmy from using websocket to HTTP API.
There are lots of other fixes and things, but that is the most substantial change.

A bit concerning perhaps hold this off for a week or so seems like this is very important moment for the users from r**dit to decide if they want to be here or not.
That's why it has to be done today. At the moment, Jerboa instantly crashes when trying to access Lemmy, which will definitely scare away new users. My understanding is that this is because Lemmy.World is on version 17, but Jerboa requires instances to be on version 18 or higher. If successful, I believe this would fix the instant crash issue, so we'll at least have an Android app working again.
Hopefully, these are just growing pains symptomatic of a site trying to deal with rapid growth and rapid improvements.
