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.
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.
@pztrn
Wow… It’s awesome 😎, thank you…

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.
Haven’t had any issues with crashing on Jerboa 0.0.34 on Android 13
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.
Yup Jerboa became very unstable so I switched to Connect for Lemmy. Smooth ride now. :)
Glad you’re enjoying Connect!
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!
Worked fine until yesterday evening. This morning (i.e. now) it instantly crashes
Yep crashes upon opening it today
Yes, same here.
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.
I just switched to thunder, and so far its working much better.
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…
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 🤣🤣🤣.
:(
