For the past day or so every time I try to open Jerboa it just crashes immediately without an error message why. Is there any scheduled update/fix for Jerboa? I'd like to be able to browse on mobile again and really enjoyed the app while it was working.

It's not working for me. So I switched to Liftoff.

[-] ki77erb@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Same. Won't let me log in. Liftoff is fantastic though!

I already have Thunder, Connect, Summit, Liftoff and Jerboa. I just thought I would play with all of them for a few weeks until I find the one I like best.

Same here. Liftoff is great.

[-] Fauxaly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Just installed liftoff to try it out and unfortunately have to say that I like the layout even BETTER than Jerboa!

I feel a weird sense of loyalty to Jerboa because it was my first app for Lemmy but I might actually like Liftoff better.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I had to clear all memory (not just the cache) then relogin. That sorted it. But I've since moved to Connect

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Connect is working the wellest for me

[-] scaredsilence208@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I was using Jerboa and I switched to connect and I can confirm. It works much weller.

[-] NuclearArmWrestling@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same here. Jeroba would randomly crash. Connect hasn't yet.

[-] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Connect dev here. Weller is what I strive for! Glad you're enjoying it.

Latest Jerboa requires a specific server version and not every server has updated yet.

There are a lot of other app options! Like Thunder, Connect or Summit

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What's Summit? Never heard of it.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Dev of Summit here. It is a lemmy reader like the other apps mentioned. You can find it on the play store by searching “app for lemmy” or “lemmy reader”. I'm actually releasing a big update today. Here's a preview of the feature: https://youtube.com/shorts/8mIVZflUHhU?feature=share.

The only one I could find on the Play store is Liftoff. I guess the others have to be downloaded from elsewhere.

[-] Lrobie@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

You can download Thunder from IzzyOnDroid (you can add this as a repository to F-Droid).

I just stayed off the fediverse while new users signed up and jerboa is back and working for me on android.

[-] isdfoa@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I am using webweb.app which is a PWA Apollo clone. Its a bit weird cause the UI is iOS based, but it's by far the smoothest and full featured all I tried so far!

Scrolling is like butter, I can customize text size, and from comment reply notifications it actually directly opens the thread to the comment, and also highlights the comment which i love! Is liftoff and thunder similarly full featured?

[-] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I think you meant wefwef.app?

[-] isdfoa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oops, pesky autocorrect. This also has infinite scrolling which I didn't even realize at first and what made the Lemmy feel so clunky on mobile before - that is definitely the biggest thing that makes this my favorite now.

[-] kat@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have the same issue. Deleting app data and cache stopped the crash at the start, but I cannot log into my account. It seems the reason for the crash was that the lemmy instance I'm on (and that I was still logged into) uses version 17.x, when Jerboa requires 18.x.

Its working fine for me.

[-] DigitalPortkey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I think Jerboa was always only going to be a best-effort app that the dev even recommended you fork if you want to see changes.

I strongly suggest you use the more up and coming popular apps, like Liftoff and Thunder.

[-] Humanius@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Personally I'm using it to hold me over till Sync for Lemmy is released

[-] V4uban@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] QubaXR@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I've been periodically installing and uninstalling it on my phone for the past 10 days. Never managed to launch it. Crashes after a second or two every time.

[-] Goauld_are_Pokemon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Im using Connect for Lemmy on android. It seems to working fine so far.

[-] Gamera8ID@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This is being discussed in https://lemmy.world/c/jerboa@lemmy.ml too. You might want to check out that Community.

There's a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.

[-] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yesterday when I tried, it told me that the instance wasn't up to date and didn't work, so I tried a different app. Liftoff is proving to be my favorite so far.

[-] hawkshaw@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This app crashes on boot for me. Could not even get it to open.

It was working for me with some glitches (for example always opening with sorting all/hot instead of what I had set up, subscribed/new).

Then yesterday it auto updated, and the glitches are gone.

[-] ottk3@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Used Jerboa but switched to wefwef on mobile and it's the best mobile app imho at the moment.

With latest updates with app and server-side it's a lot more stable now. It will be weeks to months until the infrastructure can absorb new users.

[-] RxBrad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Seeing the same here for my lemmy.world account. Strong recommend for Connect as an alternative.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect

[-] Daisychan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same here. Wefwef and Liftoff work better for me now.

[-] youslashuser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's very clunky for me

[-] malibu43@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I still can't switch from local to all. Switched to Thunder which has been great!

Edit: Jerboa back to working great and my top app again.

[-] vvv@lemmy.darmstadt.social 3 points 1 year ago

I had this, too, but got a new version done hours ago that solved this problem.

[-] Communist@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I cleared the app data and that fixed it, but signed me out of beehaw and I can't get back into my normal account on my phone until it's updated.

[-] TONKAHANAH@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I had to reset the whole app

[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

Give Thunder a shot. I really like it

[-] TimeMuncher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I had problems with Jerboa too. First it won't login, so i used to just browse without logging in. Then from today it just closes on starting. Got fed up and uninstalled it. Thunder works but keeps showing some blank page with error every minute. Tried wef or something which is a browser app but didn't like it. So ended up using Chrome but it uses too much battery so ditched that for Firefox now. I wonder if there is some rss feed for lemmy.

[-] armrods@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Crashing on start in Android 14 b3

[-] Megaf@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It's working just fine here. Latest Jerboa from F-Droid, just updated, on latest Android.

[-] MrNemobody@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using this fork and it works flawlessly with lemmy.world.

(a few eventual crashes, but it's rare)
