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.

I posted this on a different thread to downgrade your version.

May be helpful if your instance doesn't update in a timely manner.

[–] FlayOtters@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't even downgrade anymore. Just crashes no matter what version I try on google play, fdroid or github.

I think it happens because at startup it opens lemmy.ml by defaults that is on the new version thus incompatible with old versions of jerboa.

EDIT: I think the best thing to do for now is to wait for an update from your instance

[–] FlayOtters@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, think you're right. Will just use the website for a bit instead. Thanks

As soon as Lemmy v0.18 is released lemmy.world will be updated.

Btw @FlayOtters@lemmy.world if your downgrade fails, remove the app completely before you reinstall.

[–] FlayOtters@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks. I've tried removing the app data, restarting etc. but nothing seems to help.

It's ok just now anyway as I remembered I have Jerboa installed on another android device. Can use that temporarily.

Same here. Upgraded to 35, but found out that lemmy.world won't support v18.0 because of Captcha issues.

Tried to downgrade to 37 & 34 (fresh reinstall) and it automatically crashes.

Cannot use Jerboa anymore

[–] FlayOtters@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I managed to get 34 going again by very quickly repeatedly tapping the top left corner of the screen (hamburger menu) at startup. Uninstalled and did it again to verify.

Just keep trying if it crashes. I can show a video if you want.

[–] twistedtxb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

omg you're a life saver. Replying from 34. Thanks so much!

[–] antik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Most Lemmy instances are on v0.17.4 but the latest version of Jerboa expects v0.18 which is the pre-release version. I suggest you downgrade back to Jerboa v0.0.34 from github for now.

[–] twistedtxb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't work no matter which version I use.

[–] runningman@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I tried downgrading but ran into the crashing issue listed in this bug report

[–] Tibert@compuverse.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Your instance is still on 0.17.4

The version 0.33 of Lemmy should still be compatible. You may be able to get it working directly fron the github releases or from a store allowing older versions like f-droid.

However, it would be expected that most instances update to 0.18 soon. It may take some time tho.

[–] gabriele97@lemmy.g97.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes today a new backend version will be released. You have to wait that your instance (lemmy.world in this case) updates the backend. Lemmy.ml is already updated
