Is Jerboa for Lemmy crashing for anyone else?

I've been using Jerboa for Lemmy for my Beehaw account since the Migration. At first it worked fine. Then I started getting an error message about the version of Lemmy being used on the instance. But for the last couple of days it has been crashing immediately on opening:

Jerboa Error Message

Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone recommend an alternative app?

Thanks!

Switched to liftoff and continue enjoying fediverse.

But I'm not on beehaw.

[–] PurpleReign@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I'm on Beehaw and can confirm that Liftoff is already miles ahead of Jerboa.

I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa, and am enjoying the Liftoff experience thus far. Works with Beehaw just fine.

[–] Autumnal@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Liftoff is great! Thanks for commenting about it. I was really frustrated with Jerboa for not even allowing me to log in to Beehaw, and Connect's really bad interface that makes it hard to read anything.

@pztrn
Wow... It's awesome 😎, thank you..

Yup Jerboa became very unstable so I switched to Connect for Lemmy. Smooth ride now. :)

[–] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Glad you're enjoying Connect!

[–] PurpleTentacle@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I'm enjoying it, too. The only thing that annoys me is how hard/hidden it is to subscribe to communities.

When I'm seeing an interesting community under top of interesting content from a community I might be interested in, it's such a chore to find a subscribe button.

Jerboa started crashing for me around the time they did an update that required a newer lemmy version. I've been using Liftoff and that's working pretty well so far. I'm trying to stay open to different apps because they're all pretty new and none that I've tried have been exactly what I'm looking for yet.

[–] nanometre@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, I'm using wefwef.app now, which is also very nice. Still have Jerboa installed for when it'll be compatible with beehaw again.

[–] Gevian@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, Jerboa crashes instantly, feddit.de Front Page is constantly refreshing (web) , Connect won't show any comments, wefwef cannot block communities from showing in my timeline

Great timing, now that many of us are coming from Reddit...

As @dark_stang@beehaw.org mentioned, the progressive web app works really well. To use it, from any major browser on your phone, open up the options menu and click "install app" or "add to phone." It'll add an "app" to your phone which is actually a slimmed down version of your browser with the address bar and menus and whatnot removed.

Deleting storage and cache (both) worked for me.

[–] leds@feddit.dk 1 points 2 years ago

Yes thanks that worked!

[–] 4th_Times_A_Charm@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I believe Lemmy updated, I was having issues until I got an update for jerboa.

[–] HeyLow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Haven't had any issues with crashing on Jerboa 0.0.34 on Android 13

[–] red@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Worked fine until yesterday evening. This morning (i.e. now) it instantly crashes

[–] _s10e@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, same here.

[–] StringPotatoTheory@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The most recent jerboa version doesn't work with lemmy version 17 anymore (which beehaw is on). I had the error and crash happen too. You could download a previous version off their github and it should work with v17 instances (but probably not v18).

But I'd recommend liftoff, it was recently added to the play store and it's actively being worked on! It's the app I use and I've been enjoying it so far.

Did they HAVE to go with that post for the Liftoff screenshots? 😂
