Great to see all this growth and activity in different lemmy instances!
Don’t upgrade to 0.18.0! It has a lot of issues.
What else other than the missing captcha makes it a lot of issues?
Currently there are 15 lemmy-ui bugs open, and 20 lemmy backend bugs open, against 0.18.0.
Upgrading my instance to 0.18.0 has caused a lot of problems. One major issue is the main web UI won't even load (returns a blank page with just text Server error), unless you manually remove the site's image icon via a SQL query in the Postgres database. So, upgrade to 0.18.0 at your own risk.
Also, this is not intended as a criticism to anyone. Just a warning that 0.18.0 is a bit unstable and waiting for 0.18.1+ is a safer option for the larger hosted communities (my opinion).
I've personally been having a better time with 0.18 on lemmy.ml than with 0.17.4.
Why not?
Devs will be addressing the submitted captcha fix after the weekend (they said so on GitHub). So I hope 0.18.1 drops early next week. They wanted 0.18 released before 3rd party apps die, so I presume having the largest instance holding back will give them a reason to push it before the end of the week.
I hope it is released soon as well. I'm hoping some of the other open issues are addressed.
