When the update happened, The version of Jerboa in the app store and fdroid was not compatible with the 0.19 changes as you could not sign in, so I just switched to Eternity (which seemed to handle 0.19 better) instead of looking for a RC version of Jerboa.
Edit: There are no problems with the current version of Jerboa (0.0.55) and Lemmy 0.19.2, just to make things clear.
As I recall there is released enough Anime each year to keep many reviewers busy, especially if they review each episode. Then there's just the "minor" issue about getting paid for all those reviews...
Could it be a watchdog?
