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.

It’s not working for me. So I switched to Liftoff.
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.
You should also check out wefwef. It’s very full-featured already and is getting updated constantly.
I did it. It just looks very specifically designed in the style of iOS. It’s not bad though.
Same here. Liftoff is great.
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.
Try connect
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.
Same here. Jeroba would randomly crash. Connect hasn’t yet.
I downloaded thunder from izzydroid and can confirm i am welled by the performance.

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.
I had to clear all memory (not just the cache) then relogin. That sorted it. But I’ve since moved to Connect
I just stayed off the fediverse while new users signed up and jerboa is back and working for me on android.
I have the same issue. Deleting app data and cache stopped the crash at the start, but I cannot log into my account. It seems the reason for the crash was that the lemmy instance I’m on (and that I was still logged into) uses version 17.x, when Jerboa requires 18.x.
They fixed it this morning, but it’s still being buggy for me. I think it’s more on Lemmy’s/.world’s side, at this point. That being said, I’m starting to like wefwef a lot.
Its working fine for me.
I am using webweb.app which is a PWA Apollo clone. Its a bit weird cause the UI is iOS based, but it’s by far the smoothest and full featured all I tried so far!
Scrolling is like butter, I can customize text size, and from comment reply notifications it actually directly opens the thread to the comment, and also highlights the comment which i love! Is liftoff and thunder similarly full featured?
I think you meant wefwef.app?
Oops, pesky autocorrect. This also has infinite scrolling which I didn’t even realize at first and what made the Lemmy feel so clunky on mobile before - that is definitely the biggest thing that makes this my favorite now.
I’ve been periodically installing and uninstalling it on my phone for the past 10 days. Never managed to launch it. Crashes after a second or two every time.
Used Jerboa but switched to wefwef on mobile and it’s the best mobile app imho at the moment.
I actually have issues with wefwef now, gives me a lot of errors.
But I think the next days will be a little rough because of many new signups.
Maybe there are still older files in your installation that cause the errors? Have you tried to completely remove it?
Since its a webapp it uses your mobile browser. So maybe another browser would work better.
Im using Connect for Lemmy on android. It seems to working fine so far.
Yesterday when I tried, it told me that the instance wasn’t up to date and didn’t work, so I tried a different app. Liftoff is proving to be my favorite so far.
With latest updates with app and server-side it’s a lot more stable now. It will be weeks to months until the infrastructure can absorb new users.
Personally I’m using it to hold me over till Sync for Lemmy is released
Definitely
This app crashes on boot for me. Could not even get it to open.
Same for me
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.
