They made a lot of breaky changes to the API since Lemmy is fairly young. Not that project management for Lemmy has exactly been great, but I’m guessing this will become less and less frequent and/or they’ll start including a handful of previous versions to ease these transitions.
Not all… Sometimes it is needed to improve things forward. But most releases do not break API access points. v0.19 is going to be great. Hopefully apps are fast in updating.
Wait, so apps aren’t inherently compatible with new Lemmy releases and have to be updated accordingly?
Talk about a rocky start for the fediverse 😕
