These past few days I noticed that Eternity isn’t displaying the right information in some places, despite it not having received any new updates.
As far as I saw, there are issues with:
- Subscriptions: they’re shown as empty and the Subscribed list of posts is just filled with All
- Saved posts: Someone else’s saved posts are shown to me, though I don’t know whose they are
It’s probably about 0.19.0-rc.4 update. https://lemy.lol/post/13961600
I thought 3rd party apps could implement the new version in 3 weeks but looks like they didn’t 🤷♂️ I’m using Mlem on iOS and its not working either. For now, all I can do is suggesting to use another client. For example I’m using Voyager temporarily, since it looks fully compatible right now.
I thought of reverting the version or restoring backup but both could end up with partial data loss between update and now, so these are not ideal solutions.
Lesson learned tho. I’ll not update to a release candicate version again, since Lemmy itself is already an experimental project.
By the way don’t forget to check new features :)
Ohh, so that’s what it was. Had no idea, thanks for telling me, funnily I couldn’t have noticed the mentioned post since I’m using only the app pretty much 👀
Agreed on not reverting, better to wait this one out to avoid any more headaches. I’ll get Voyager again in the meantime.
About keeping up with release candidates, staying on the safe side is fine, I don’t know much about them though, how long do they take to land on stable usually?
Devs said it will land at least in a month. It was 3 weeks ago. So I’m expecting them to release 0.19 stable in 1-2 weeks, hopefully.
The problem is, when 3rd party apps gonna become compatible with it. On web side; Voyager, Photon and mlmym are ok but I haven’t seen a compatible mobile app yet.
I’m really sorry. I didn’t expected it to be this problematic.
I understand, you’re right it could still be an issue either way.
Don’t feel too bad, we’re still in the early days, after all!
