I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about people being stuck between server (lemmy 0.18) and client (Jerboa 0.0.33—35) versions (not installed from IzzyOnDroid and logged in) with Jerboa crashing. Here’s a way to avoid that issue while still being able to log in and browse both Lemmy 0.18 or older instances.

  • Add IzzyOnDroid repo to F-Droid
  • Delete app data from Android app info (edit)
  • Uninstall current version of Jerboa
  • Install 0.0.33 IzzyOnDroid version of Jerboa
  • Set phone to Airplane mode
  • Open Jerboa and use the hamburger menu to add your account
  • Fill in server, username, and password
  • Turn off Airplane mode
  • Login

You’ll get a old server version notification of your server hasn’t updated but you’ll be able to use Jerboa regardless of server version.

Hope this helps!

    I upvoted your comment from the comment view and it registered, I verified on the web.

      Comment reply works, and upvoting comments as well.

      It’s replying to DMs that’s bugged, and voting on posts that causes the crash.

      I’ve reported them both with screenshots and video evidence, you can check it here:

        Ah gotcha! Voting on posts and comments are working fine for me but I haven’t ever messaged anyone and missed the DM bit in your comment, my bad.
