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 immediately updated to v0.0.35 as soon as i saw it on GitHub, to realize i get kicked out of the app for having an account on a Lemmy instance still running 0.17. Reinstalled v0.0.34, except that now crashes on startup, probably since the default instance it uses is on 0.18.

Do I have to use 0.0.35 in anonymous mode until my instance updates to lemmy 0.18, or is there some workaround?

Just note, there are two things I know of that cause crashes with a 0.17 server:

  • mark as read
  • login

As long as you don't do either of those (i.e. you're already logged in on a previous version), things should largely work.

For me, saving a post also crashes the app. But when I open the app again the post is saved. So at least the saving itself works.

Yeah, it's a problem largely with understanding the response. A lot of little things changed, and Jerboa doesn't use all of them, so the breakage can seemingly be random.
