Jerboa on Android only letting me view (lemmy.world)

I am a new user (actually, this is my first post on Lemmy, yay!). I registered through the web, but since my Reddit-use was mainly on my phone, I installed Jerboa (version 0.0.33 from the Play store) and everything seemed nice. I was just scrolling and saw something I wanted to upvote. So I clicked the upvote-button, but I got a message saying I needed to log in for that. Then I tried clicking a reply-button on a comment, but I got the same message.

I double checked, I am definitly logged in.

What's going on here? Is this a known bug with a workaround I need to know or something?

I believe that Lemmy was updated and it has broke compatibility. Version 0.0.35 alpha is the latest version of Jerboa, but isn't published yet on Google Play or F-Droid. When it is it should resolve the issues.

I'm still on 0.0.33 and it seems to be working for me - at least to make this comment and upvote yours.

Interesting. The app immediately crashes for me but I'm on a different instance, so maybe lemmy.ml still works on v0.0.33 and it is something else. In that case I'd recommend they clear their app cache/data and re-login.

It's the other way round. Jerboa v0.0.35 only works with v0.18 of Lemmy and only lemmy.ml is the only instance that's updated so far. Previous versions of Jerboa only work with previous versions of Lemmy.

lemmy.zip also updated earlier today.

I'm on lemmy.world and if i am using this right, it looks like you are too.

Could be an instance-related issue then?

I believe it is. Here is a related GitHub issue that I started encountering yesterday:

https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/843

It could be something else, but I believe it is probably related and that when the new version is published that it should resolve.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
