Why did Voyager break for my server? (lemmy.masto.community)

I have been running a personal lemmy server for a long time and using Voyager (web app). The other day I updated as I have done dozens of times before, and it wouldn’t load any posts. I tried logging out and clearing my cache, but when I try to log in to lemmy.masto.community, it just says there was a problem connecting.

The server is obviously up and working or I wouldn’t be able to post this. And logged out, I seem to be able to browse public servers with Voyager. It has just suddenly become incompatible with… something? This is a managed service on Elestio, so it’s maintained automatically.

I figured if I waited a few days it would sort itself out since I can’t be the only one. But I don’t see any posts about this so now I’m wondering if I’m the only one. Any ideas? Thanks!

Ah, thanks for letting me know. I just checked and it's because you're running lemmy v0.19.3. That's pretty old; I would recommend upgrading.

That being said, Voyager should have more helpful error messages for unsupported versions, and also should still support 0.19.3 until the next major release, so I'll push a fix.

I've been noticing the same, on and off. At first I thought it was my instance, but it's fine on its own and through other UIs.

Aside from your thread, all else I could find was this issue, which is from May, long before I started noticing this, so not sure it's the same problem
