I’m working on a little tool for Lemmy using the rust backend (lemmy_api_common crate 0.17.4).

I’ve tested it against some 0.17.4 instances with no issues, but yesterday I went to test it more thoroughly on the official testing instances and had JSON parsing issues. I realized later that these servers are currently running 0.18.X.

Is this a bug? Or are we expecting that even within the “v3” APIs that you’ll have breaking changes between Lemmy versions?

    Fwiw, the api changed from 0.17.3 to 0.17.4, and then again to 0.18

    I raised it a few times in various places but nobody seemed to care so i gave up complaining. At least hopefully eventually nobody will be running pre-0.18, and the js docs will be updated to be accurate
