I’ve been told that 0.18.5 includes the changes from 0.18.4b8 that caused the last round of issues with some apps needing to be updated (eg Voyager) For example, Liftoff didn’t update so will have issues with 0.18.5
According to development chat they can test against it on a test instance but PRs are failing.

That also needs updating. According to a post on Lemmy.ml all apps will need updating for 0.19 Some changes are also in 0.18.5 so most apps will need an update to work properly. (you might not be able to Login but if you’re already logged in you’ll see your feed but not the list of communities. The app will have needed to test against 0.18.4b8 or higher)

It seems to me that as well as the bullies (apparently it’s all my fault for not choosing instances by running a detailed analysis and not being aware of things that wouldn’t happen for months after I joined!) there’s also users who genuinely haven’t noticed any issues. Although they are on problematic instances and using apps the developer knows needs an update.
So it’s quite possible Lemmy will survive with most users on one or two big instances and some more who don’t know they are on troublesome instances.

Check the liftoff developers chat. They know it isn’t working properly but have had PRs failing.

Have you tried it? It’s unfortunately not reliable.
- Comment on Why shouldn’t I just give up on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
Wait until it’s updated (it’s missed 0.18.4 bug fix, 0.18.5 is rolling out and 0.19 is imminent)
- Comment on Why shouldn’t I just give up on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
I like Lemmy, what I don’t like is the haphazard time consuming way it works.
- Comment on Why shouldn’t I just give up on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
Sync is not compatible (until it’s updated) as more instances roll out newer versions you’ll get authentication errors.
- Comment on Why shouldn’t I just give up on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
None of those apps cope with the changes. Which were introduced about three weeks ago in beta so plenty of time to update.
Liftoff hasn’t had an update in three months and doesn’t work properly with anything above 0.18.3 and get worse as the version number increases.

It’s a faff though isn’t it ? There’s no easy way to migrate subscriptions. And that doesn’t solve the issue of the web interface or apps not updating.

A few people have reported that the downvote button disappears and re-appears.
(Some instances don’t allow downvotes but that’s not what’s happening here)

I’m beginning to think you might be trolling but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Some estimates put literacy in the ancient world as high as 40% excluding people who could read and write their name and basic words The decline in literacy after the Roman Empire is well documented and didn’t increase again until the Middle Ages. Buring and Van Zanden put the year 1451 as the point when it began to rise again.

That’s not what you asked for. I gave an illustration of the Bible being needed in English (which most people read) rather than Latin. So I gave you a source.

It’s actually a bit of an ‘urban myth’ it did apply in eg Victorian Times but at other points in history there was widespread literacy.
What you do find at some times is that an elite wrote and spoke one language but everyone else wrote another. Which was a way of controlling access to information. This is one reason that the Bible was in Latin and there was subterfuge needed to get the first Bible in English. (The pages were smuggled into the country)

I’m not sure how else to say it without repeating it.
I disagree that only the most educated people could read and write
I disagree that not many internet posts will be recorded for posterity

The comment I replied to.

There are merchants records and other civil documents from 1,200 years before Plato. In fact the oldest known letter of complaint dates from 1,750BC.
So I disagree.
