There was a swap in some tooling which prevents hosting it +on some versions of operating systems. For now the alternate frontend will exist +frozen on a version and will in the future either break if a lemmy version +breaks that version of the frontend or if the issues are fixed we will upgrade +it and it will be fully supported again.
