Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.

Worth noting that the Jerboa app pushed a major update today and it's massively improved. Definitely suggest giving it another try after today, it feels like an entirely new app.

I'll be honest, don't notice many changes? Feels and looks the same to me.

The entire UI got a refresh. There's an actual search button now too.

Jerboa has been very buggy for me the last few days: account switching doesn't work, jerboa ignores my settings for what feeds to load at default, randomly losing my accounts and crashing.

I tried Connect and didn't like its UI. The PWA isn't very useful as the feed reloads from the top when I back out of a post by swiping from the edge.

Yeah still super buggy for sure. When you swap users, you have to force close the app and reopen for it to actually swap properly.

Jerboa won't even let me log in, says server is too outdated :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There were big api change with lemmy 0.18 which the updated jerboa is compatible with. The instance you were trying to log into is outdated.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's an instance problem not a jerboa problem. Your Lemmy instance needs to update to the new version.

The app is broken for me. Can't change away from local in my home feed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Didn't notice anything different. In fact, I can't change to "All" anymore (coincidence?). That's why I'm exploring Connect right now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

All is definitely still there. Not sure the issue on your side.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Im having the exact same issue. Im keeping bith apps on my phone atm so if one has issues I can hop on the other one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa has been worse for me since the update. It won't follow my feed or sorting selections.
