I'm on Beehaw and can confirm that Liftoff is already miles ahead of Jerboa.
Trying connect for lemmy at the moment... but I'll add that to my list until I settle on my preferred mobile experience... thanks!
Liftoff is great! Thanks for commenting about it. I was really frustrated with Jerboa for not even allowing me to log in to Beehaw, and Connect's really bad interface that makes it hard to read anything.
I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa, and am enjoying the Liftoff experience thus far. Works with Beehaw just fine.
Switched to listoff which also didn't work for some reason, then to connect. I also tried thunder, which works as well.
Liftoff is working for me and even let's me seemlessly browse my beehaw and sh.itjust.works acct. If I'm on a beehaw post (like this) is automatically let's me comment under my account here.
Really nice for when you are part of multiple communities.
Yep, I'm using wefwef.app now, which is also very nice. Still have Jerboa installed for when it'll be compatible with beehaw again.
Yup Jerboa became very unstable so I switched to Connect for Lemmy. Smooth ride now. :)
Glad you're enjoying Connect!
I'm enjoying it, too. The only thing that annoys me is how hard/hidden it is to subscribe to communities.
When I'm seeing an interesting community under top of interesting content from a community I might be interested in, it's such a chore to find a subscribe button.
Deleting storage and cache (both) worked for me.
Yes thanks that worked!
Haven't had any issues with crashing on Jerboa 0.0.34 on Android 13
Jerboa started crashing for me around the time they did an update that required a newer lemmy version. I've been using Liftoff and that's working pretty well so far. I'm trying to stay open to different apps because they're all pretty new and none that I've tried have been exactly what I'm looking for yet.
Yep crashes upon opening it today
As @dark_stang@beehaw.org mentioned, the progressive web app works really well. To use it, from any major browser on your phone, open up the options menu and click "install app" or "add to phone." It'll add an "app" to your phone which is actually a slimmed down version of your browser with the address bar and menus and whatnot removed.
Yes, same here.
Yes, Jerboa crashes instantly, feddit.de Front Page is constantly refreshing (web) , Connect won't show any comments, wefwef cannot block communities from showing in my timeline
Great timing, now that many of us are coming from Reddit...
Worked fine until yesterday evening. This morning (i.e. now) it instantly crashes
it's been crashing ever since that version error message started appearing. I have since uninstalled it and am just accessing beehaw using my mobile browser. It's actually pretty good. Sure I know there are other apps in development but I would like them to mature a bit more before I try to get into them, especially considering my buggy experience with jerboa.
The most recent jerboa version doesn't work with lemmy version 17 anymore (which beehaw is on). I had the error and crash happen too. You could download a previous version off their github and it should work with v17 instances (but probably not v18).
But I'd recommend liftoff, it was recently added to the play store and it's actively being worked on! It's the app I use and I've been enjoying it so far.
Did they HAVE to go with that post for the Liftoff screenshots? 😂
OMG, just noticed 🤣🤣🤣.
:(
Yep. Every update breaks something new, and they never fix the old issues. I've now switched over to Liftoff, until Sync becomes available. From that point onward I won't be needing anything else.
0.36 was shit but 0.37 is actually fine now
0.36 worked fine for me, 0.37 doesn't even start. Immediate crash on open.
