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.

Had to download Connect for Lemmy to post this. Stuck in an endless loop of logging in on Jerboa. I'll log in and it will show my subscriptions and username on the side bar but when I try to comment or vote on anything it tells me to log in first, even though I already logged in, and when I refresh the app I'm suddenly logged out again. This has been happening for several days now but it makes Jerboa completely useless. Is there a fix for this?

Which version of the app are you using? I have 3 Lemmy accounts, and one of them was doing this (or something similar) for me in 0.37. I would log in fine, but if I switched to another account and back, it would say "anonymous" and I kept getting "network error."

But I got version 0.38 from f-droid today and that problem and several other ones I had are gone. (Although, I did have to log out totally and back in on that account to fix it.)

I'm on 0.0.38 already :(

Same issue on Fdroid 0.38 today. Just getting started on Lemmy but it's practically unusable as it keeps telling me to log in first when I try to do anything. And there's no easy access to accounts/config so you have to back right up to the login screen. For a new user it's hard to tell if issues are a Lemmy issue or a Jerboa issue because there are multiple servers involved. This is my third try with this comment so fingers crossed.

Edit: sorry Jerboa, but I have switched to Connect. No complaints with it. I'm sure I'll give Jerboa another try when it's more mature, but not being able to log in is a deal breaker!

Likely not related at all, but I've found that some apps will let me log-in with just my username and password--others require my email addr & password.

Same for me. Jerboa was working fine yesterday, but today (despite showing my subscribed communities) it wouldn't let me up vote or post showing a "login first" message. Even after logging out and back in, and my username/instance showing in the side panel, I don't seemed to be considered logged in! But my account works fine in Connect (where I'm posting this from).
