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!

      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.

        Trying connect for lemmy at the moment… but I’ll add that to my list until I settle on my preferred mobile experience… thanks!

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

        Liftoff is working for me and even let’s me seemlessly browse my beehaw and sh.itjust.works acct. If I’m on a beehaw post (like this) is automatically let’s me comment under my account here.

        Really nice for when you are part of multiple communities.

          A major benefit of liftoff to me is that it takes me to linked communities in app, instead of in browser like Jerboa. Makes it easier to subscribe to new communities that people share in comments

        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.

    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.

    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.

      This is what I just did since last night’s Jerboa update means it can’t even launch anymore. And while I like Jerboa, this slimmed down web app version of Lemmy is perfect and kind of all I need.

    Currently using Liftoff, and Jerboa as a backup for reading inbox, hopefully I can go back to Jerboa soon, as the native Android feel is great.

      My stack looks like this, in the order I turn them on as the previous one stops working (Android):

      • Thunder
      • Connect
      • Liftoff
      • Jerboa

      Really hope Thunder gets more stable soon, it’s by far my favorite interface.

    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.

    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…

    it’s been crashing ever since that version error message started appearing. I have since uninstalled it and am just accessing beehaw using my mobile browser. It’s actually pretty good. Sure I know there are other apps in development but I would like them to mature a bit more before I try to get into them, especially considering my buggy experience with jerboa.
