    @[email protected] Thanks for the information here and all the hard work you have put into this release.

    Gotta say tho, as the maintainer of Lemmy-Swift-Client, breaking API changes like this without an API version bump, make API development within the community incredibly difficult.

    So my question to you would be, what is the purpose of having v3 in the API path, if the true test of API compatibility is the GetServerResponse version field? And breaking changes will occur in GetServerResponse version changes as opposed to the version in the API path? That doesn’t quite make sense to me.

    Would love your perspective so I can figure out how to best design the package API to accommodate client developers who might have to contend with multiple server versions.
