  • Update on using Jerboa v0.0.35 with a Lemmy.world login:

    Not great. I'm experiencing a lot of errors and random(?) app crashes. I'm going to downgrade to v.0.0.34


    Edit: Nope, downgrading doesn't work either. The app just flat out crashes after a few seconds.


    Edit 2: I'm now using Connect (for Lemmy), lol! Need to get used to the slightly new UI.

    • Yeah the experience on 3rd party apps is better. This is what Reddit fucked up with their API changes. Can't help but to interject "fuck Spez" here yet again. I'm currently using thunder and it fits what I'm looking for in a lemmy client the most.

      • I was thinking of waiting for a while before I go around and give 3rd party apps a good try. But then again, this Lemmy.world vs. Jerboa problem has forced me to accelerate the timeline, sort of.

        I kinda like Jerboa's aesthetic too. It's simple and clean. And though some of the UX feels a bit clunky, it's similar enough to Fedilab that I didn't really mind it much.

        It's basically how interacting with comments via Connect that really had me adjusting, lol! Other than that, there's really not much to get used to.

        I might give Thunder and others a try too. Ang focus ko kasi kagabi is to just have something I can use for mobile, and my fingers are a bit too clumsy to use the mobile site (through a mobile browser).

        This is what Reddit fucked up with their API changes.

        And yeah. Lemmy's app landscape is already surprisingly varied especially given that it's just barely a month since it's got enough users to really warrant a handful of 3rd party apps.


        Edit: Added and clarified some points.

    • Weird, parang no issues naman on my end. Not sure lang kung anong version ang jerboa ko, but I assume it's the latest one

      Edit: I'm apparently in 0.0.36 alpha

      • I presume you're still on v 0.0.34, but you can check that by going to Jerboa settings, then clicking "About".

        Also, don't be like me who updated--even though I am aware of the possible issues--just because di ko napigilan mag-miron. Lol!

        As far as I know, so long as you stay logged in (and stay with your current version, and basically don't do anything like deleting app data), you're safe--at least for the time being.

        • Naka 0.0.36 ako apparently.

          • Thanks for that. That gave me an idea of what might be happening on my end--like a version mismatch, I guess? But then again, as far as I know, Lemmy.world logins are having trouble for Jerboa v0.0.35 and above.

            That said, I'm mostly staying put with Thunder for the time being.
