Is Jerboa for Lemmy crashing for anyone else?
I’ve been using Jerboa for Lemmy for my Beehaw account since the Migration. At first it worked fine. Then I started getting an error message about the version of Lemmy being used on the instance. But for the last couple of days it has been crashing immediately on opening:
Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone recommend an alternative app?
Thanks!
Switched to liftoff and continue enjoying fediverse.
But I’m not on beehaw.
I’m on Beehaw and can confirm that Liftoff is already miles ahead of Jerboa.
Liftoff is great! Thanks for commenting about it. I was really frustrated with Jerboa for not even allowing me to log in to Beehaw, and Connect’s really bad interface that makes it hard to read anything.
I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa, and am enjoying the Liftoff experience thus far. Works with Beehaw just fine.
@pztrn
Wow… It’s awesome 😎, thank you…
@BobQuasit @technology
Yep, I’m using wefwef.app now, which is also very nice. Still have Jerboa installed for when it’ll be compatible with beehaw again.
Yup Jerboa became very unstable so I switched to Connect for Lemmy. Smooth ride now. :)
Glad you’re enjoying Connect!
I’m enjoying it, too. The only thing that annoys me is how hard/hidden it is to subscribe to communities.
When I’m seeing an interesting community under top of interesting content from a community I might be interested in, it’s such a chore to find a subscribe button.
As @dark_stang@beehaw.org mentioned, the progressive web app works really well. To use it, from any major browser on your phone, open up the options menu and click “install app” or “add to phone.” It’ll add an “app” to your phone which is actually a slimmed down version of your browser with the address bar and menus and whatnot removed.
This is what I just did since last night’s Jerboa update means it can’t even launch anymore. And while I like Jerboa, this slimmed down web app version of Lemmy is perfect and kind of all I need.
Haven’t had any issues with crashing on Jerboa 0.0.34 on Android 13
Jerboa started crashing for me around the time they did an update that required a newer lemmy version. I’ve been using Liftoff and that’s working pretty well so far. I’m trying to stay open to different apps because they’re all pretty new and none that I’ve tried have been exactly what I’m looking for yet.
Deleting storage and cache (both) worked for me.
Yes thanks that worked!
Jerboa: what version? Server: what version?
Latest Jerboa is 0.37-alpha. Latest server: 0.18.1 (?)
Servers running 0.17 (and below) don’t play nicely with Jerboa 0.36 and later.
Jerboa 0.36 had a lot of problems, that 0.37 fixed.
I’m running Jerboa 0.37 and finding it great.
But if you don’t like it, try connect, liftoff to thunder or another. I haven’t kept track of all the new apps.
The web interface works well to.
Worked fine until yesterday evening. This morning (i.e. now) it instantly crashes
Yep. Every update breaks something new, and they never fix the old issues. I’ve now switched over to Liftoff, until Sync becomes available. From that point onward I won’t be needing anything else.
I just switched to thunder, and so far its working much better.
Yep crashes upon opening it today
Yes, Jerboa crashes instantly, feddit.de Front Page is constantly refreshing (web) , Connect won’t show any comments, wefwef cannot block communities from showing in my timeline
Great timing, now that many of us are coming from Reddit…
it’s been crashing ever since that version error message started appearing. I have since uninstalled it and am just accessing beehaw using my mobile browser. It’s actually pretty good. Sure I know there are other apps in development but I would like them to mature a bit more before I try to get into them, especially considering my buggy experience with jerboa.
Yes, same here.
