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…🙌🏼
I wish there was backwards compatibility though, because I can’t use most instances (that are Lemmy 0.17.4) with the new Jerboa v0.0.35-alpha 😔
Which instances are these? After I took the update, I got a message that I need to notify my administrators and logout. But I clicked off of it and everything still works. I am in lemmy.world instance.
I had that, but it crashed a lot. Logged out, and wasn’t able to log back in because of the version message. Downgrading didn’t work either. It would login and crash. Using the web interface until the server updates.
Not good timing on the release of Jerboa and server version. Not doing version 0.18 released yet.
Edit: The Admin God upgraded the server and 0.35 works sweet now!
Have you tried lift off yet? This app is amazing.
Works with my instance on 0.18-rc4/5.
I’ve even posted this from Jerboa and Updated it…
There is also a test release for a Jerboa update which works well.
Sorry, what I meant is that Jerboa version v0.0.35-alpha only supports instances that are 0.18+
Yeah I’m currently waiting for lemm.ee to update to 0.18 so I can use jerboa again to access it instead of having to use a web browser.
Yeah, it’s lame, but it’s also work to maintain compatibility between major versions. Once Jerboa dev slows, perhaps it’ll be easier to make that better. For now, it’s gonna suck a bit until instances upgrade.
