confused about the newest update . will we continue to have a web app or do we have to switch to a native app (ex: ios app).? it almost sounds like the web app is going away (lemmy.world)

I think the situation is:

Lemmy V0.19 uses a different authentication method to 0.18 and earlier.

It isn’t possible for a web app to know the Lemmy version initially.

So a web app can be compatible either with 0.18 or 0.19.

When most instances have updated to 0.19 or higher then the web app will switch to 0.19 only

Native apps aren’t affected
