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've been switching back and forth between Lemmy IzzyOnDroid version 0.0.33 and Liftoff for the past few days. I really wanna update to the newest Jerboa version but I'm worried things will go wrong and I'll have to go through the whole process with the IzzyOnDroid version again. Have the issues been fixed yet?

I don't think so. Lemmy.world is still on an older backend and Jerboa hasn't merged a fix that allows older instances to work

Oh boy, same here. I have a Lemmy.world account and the app crashes immediately.

Same here. Downloaded Connect just so I can use it without connecting via web browser

I now use wefwef.app. it's pretty solid

Same. I will switch back to jerboa once .world updates to v18 but for now wefwef is a good alternative.

Accidentally updated, now it crashes after 3 seconds :/

That's because you are probably logged in with an instance that hasn't updated to 18.0 or higher (like lemmy.world for example). This makes Jerboa crashe immediately. If you uninstall and then reinstall the app you are logged out and the app does not crash.

That's true, I am on lemmy world. I'm also on android so I'm giving the other apps a chance while I wait on sync lol
