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.
Trying connect for lemmy at the moment… but I’ll add that to my list until I settle on my preferred mobile experience… thanks!
Thanks for the recommendation. Have just installed and connected back to Beehaw.
I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa, and am enjoying the Liftoff experience thus far. Works with Beehaw just fine.
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.
Liftoff feels great. If this keeps getting features, I dont see myself switching.
Dev is killing it
@pztrn
Wow… It’s awesome 😎, thank you…
@BobQuasit @technology
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.
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.
Deleting storage and cache (both) worked for me.
Yes thanks that worked!
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.
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.
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…
Yep, the latest update (version 0.0.37) just crashes within seconds of launching.
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.
0.36 was shit but 0.37 is actually fine now
0.36 worked fine for me, 0.37 doesn’t even start. Immediate crash on open.
Yeah, I switched to just using the web app. So far so good.
Currently using Liftoff, and Jerboa as a backup for reading inbox, hopefully I can go back to Jerboa soon, as the native Android feel is great.
My stack looks like this, in the order I turn them on as the previous one stops working (Android):
- Thunder
- Connect
- Liftoff
- Jerboa
Really hope Thunder gets more stable soon, it’s by far my favorite interface.
The most recent jerboa version doesn’t work with lemmy version 17 anymore (which beehaw is on). I had the error and crash happen too. You could download a previous version off their github and it should work with v17 instances (but probably not v18).
But I’d recommend liftoff, it was recently added to the play store and it’s actively being worked on! It’s the app I use and I’ve been enjoying it so far.
Did they HAVE to go with that post for the Liftoff screenshots? 😂
Edit: They even used it inside the app as a preview on the Post Style prefs! It’s very much deliberate! 😂
OMG, just noticed 🤣🤣🤣.
:(
Hello from Liftoff! Seems to work well so far
Yes, same here.
Worked fine until yesterday evening. This morning (i.e. now) it instantly crashes
