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.
-posted from my pc (only because I can’t get the app to work)
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
What’s Summit? Never heard of it.
The only one I could find on the Play store is Liftoff. I guess the others have to be downloaded from elsewhere.
You can download Thunder from IzzyOnDroid (you can add this as a repository to F-Droid).
I still can’t switch from local to all. Switched to Thunder which has been great!
I had this, too, but got a new version done hours ago that solved this problem.
It’s not working for me. So I switched to Liftoff.
Same here. Liftoff is great.
Same. Won’t let me log in. Liftoff is fantastic though!
Try Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
You can install and autoupdate using: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium
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.
How you like them so far? Anything you are partial about?
They’re all pretty early in development so they have their bugs but so far I like Liftoff and Thunder the best. They both have a great UI. Jerboa was the one I started with first but now I am not able to login because of the whole lemmy.world version number thing.
I see. Imma go and try liftoff and thunder then , thanks you very much.
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 changed some settings to make it look better to me. I’m happiest with liftoff right now.
Give Thunder a shot. I really like it
It’s working just fine here. Latest Jerboa from F-Droid, just updated, on latest Android.
Connect is working the wellest for me
I was using Jerboa and I switched to connect and I can confirm. It works much weller.
Connect dev here. Weller is what I strive for! Glad you’re enjoying it.
I find wefwef works the wellest (so far, anyway)
I’m currently using wefwef to reply to you, I use them both interchangeably, but Connect has more formatting options in the markdown editor, whereas Wefwef expects you to just remember how to format anything in markdown. Both experience errors constantly.
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.
I’m using this fork and it works flawlessly with lemmy.world.
(a few eventual crashes, but it’s rare)
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.
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.
Crashing on start in Android 14 b3
