With a lot of talk around new apps in development & coming on stream, something I've been happy to see, & commented on, as choice is always a good thing... I thought I'd just voice my appreciation for the Jerboa team, love this App, such nice Ui & UX, I find it very easy to use, all the view options, post layouts, especially the compact view are really easy on the eyes, & great to scroll through quickly. I know there are some errors from time to time, & the odd glitch here & there, but thats something to be expected, given that Jerboa is still in its Alpha form.. Thanks for all you do, each iteration makes the experience, better & better..๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

I'd love to try Jerboa, but when trying to connect, it says "Server version (0.17.4) too low".

I'm having the same issue since the latest Jerboa update 0.0.35 Looks like i'll have to install a previous version from fDroid.

[-] hellequin67@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

The latest version on the playstore is 0.0.35.
I was able to download the previous version 0.0.34 from github which doesn't have the v 0.18 issue.
As soon as your lemmy instance updates to 0.18 you should be able to update the jerboa app without any issue.

Either wait for the server upgrade on your instance, or downgrade Jerboa, as the latest update added a breaking chance for compatibility with the latest Lemmy update.

So I'm posting here from a browser. I want to use jerboa but I can't get it to do much of anything. It asks me to log in but gives me no option to do so. I can't find a manual for it or any help. I'm pretty sure I just don't know how to use the thing, but I know I'm not alone

I tried to use but when I went to login I got an error that says the server version (0.17.4) is too low. but when I check all the popular instances they are all on the same version. so how is it working for other instances?

[-] PorkTaco@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

My understanding is Jerboa 0.35 requires server version 0.18, which isn't widely adopted yet. I'm using 0.34 from F-Droid and I've been having no issues.

Always be wary of downloading random people's files, but you can try my fork which implements some of the 0.35 features (until June 15) but is before the v18 update:

I have issues logging in now too. It just errors and closes the app entirely, haha.

Any idea what that might be about? I've had to resort to using browser for now.

[-] elephantintheroom@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

Same here. We'll have to wait until our instances update their servers to v0.18.

We'll have to use a browser or a different client until then.

[-] laenurd@lemmy.lemist.de 1 points 2 years ago

Or a previous release (<0.35) of jerboa

[-] elephantintheroom@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yep, that's what I meant by "older version".

[-] le_saucisson_masque@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Memmy is also extremely good (on iOS).

[-] uranushertz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Was my first choice, but the app would not stay open. Installed fresh on Note 10+ and it would not actually start open long enough to acknowledge the first screen of notes before crashing.

I'll keep an eye on it, but makes me sad ๐Ÿ˜ข.

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.
