The linked post and discussion from the Photon dev re: the lemmy 0.19 release got me thinking about how Alexandrite will handle the migration since the release includes breaking changes.

I’ll probably end up waiting until one of the popular instances migrates to 0.19, then I’ll quickly work on migrating to 0.19 and release a new version. The main alexandrite.app site will use the 0.19 version once lemmy.world updates, because that’s its default instance. Exact specifics might change depending on how the rollout goes and how much free time I have around then, so this might change. If Alexandrite updates before your server updates you might just have to use the default UI until your instance updates.
For self-hosters who want to wait on 0.19, Alexandrite’s releases have version numbers nowdays so instead of using the
latestdocker tag, I’d recommend using the last non-0.19 version until you upgrade Lemmy.Sounds like a good plan, thanks!
Actually it sounds like it might be possible to keep things backwards compatible so I’ll attempt to make it work for both versions. The 0.19 announcement post mentions it should be possible to stay backwards compatible.
Nice!
