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.

Issues after installing ver .35 (lemmy.world)

OK so I am fairly tech illiterate, and would like some guidance.

I had been using ver. .33 up until today, very happily I might add, and I decided to try .35 out. I know there were some issue with the .18 ver of lemmy and compatibility so I just wanted to try.

I Uninstalled .33, installed .35 from github. I immediately got an error message about compatibility and ver .18.

OK whatever. Uninstalled. Went back and got .33 , but now the app just crashes. I much prefer and am used to jerboa over the web browser.

Any thoughts ?

Edit: lemmy is pretty unusable right now on web browser, it was working fine until I no longer have the app, the constant refresh is pretty bad, every second there is 100 new posts regardless of how I sort.

0.35 won't work properly until the instances all upgrade to v18, which is supposed to be released today. Be patient.

Yea I'm fine with waiting. I was more curious why ver .33 is no longer working, unless it was actually just ver .35 and labeled wrong. Like I said, I'm an idiot with stuff lol. Literally the first time I was even on github.

Thanks for answering.

0.0.33 isn't working anymore because Jerboa's default instance (Lemmy.ml) has already been updated to 0.18 for testing purposes and trying to connect to a 0.18 instance causes Jerboa 0.0.34 and older to crash.

We are in a rather silly state where we can't use Jerboa 0.0.35 to log in to instances other than Lemmy.ml and can't use Jerboa 0.0.34 when we haven't been logged in before updating. 😬
