Since the latest update, the app sometimes crashes when I'm upvoting, opening a post, etc.

I don't know if there are crash logs, but I'm willing to look

Jerboa crashes every time I start the app.

Are you still on v34 or earlier? only v35 seems to be working for now.

I have a fork of the app v34 where I fixed the issue enough so that people can log into a Lemmy v0.17 server or browse anonymously.

I'm on v33 still.

[Edit] I was able to manually update Jerboa to v35.

There are a couple bugs for this already, and it seems to happen when your network is unstable or your instance is under load. If it seems random, it's probably just a crash when the hung network request to your server finally errors out.

If you notice any immediate crashes (i.e. you do X then it crashes immediately), please note those.

Had the same thing happen to me

You're on lemmy.world which is still using v0.17 and the new jerboa version requires v0.18 to fully work.

lemmy.world will be updating when v0.18.1 gets released so for the time being revert back to jerboa 0.0.34/33. It'll crash every time you launch so turn on airplane mode, go to the login menu and only then turn airplane mode off and click log in

0.0.33/34 still crashes for me on launch with airplane mode on.

Hmm, not sure about that then. If you have no Internet access it shouldn't crash as it has no way to get the incompatible data

🤷‍♂️ I'll just wait for the instance update. Using liftoff app in the meantime.

The workaround I found is:

  1. Have Jerboa 0.0.34 installed
  2. Open lemmy.world in the browser
  3. Tap the icon to open it in the app

This way you'll be able to login and use the app normally.

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.
