They killed captcha support in 0.18, which basically negates one of the methods to stop the bots… so if we upgrade, we will likely need to email verification until 0.18.1 is released OR stay on 0.17.4 until 0.18.1 is released where they’ve promised to bring it back.
This is why I can’t seem to find latte.isnot.coffee Lemmy instance on Jerboa for Lemmy (Android app). Guess I will have to wait - or find another Android client. Captcha is the reason I got on here, so I would say wait… Thanks for providing a platform for the Reddit refugees!
Use connect for Lemmy. Work great.
