So I'm posting here from a browser. I want to use jerboa but I can't get it to do much of anything. It asks me to log in but gives me no option to do so. I can't find a manual for it or any help. I'm pretty sure I just don't know how to use the thing, but I know I'm not alone

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 tried to use but when I went to login I got an error that says the server version (0.17.4) is too low. but when I check all the popular instances they are all on the same version. so how is it working for other instances?
My understanding is Jerboa 0.35 requires server version 0.18, which isn't widely adopted yet. I'm using 0.34 from F-Droid and I've been having no issues.
I have issues logging in now too. It just errors and closes the app entirely, haha.
Any idea what that might be about? I've had to resort to using browser for now.
Same here. We'll have to wait until our instances update their servers to v0.18.
We'll have to use a browser or a different client until then.
Or a previous release (<0.35) of jerboa
Yep, that's what I meant by "older version".
Always be wary of downloading random people's files, but you can try my fork which implements some of the 0.35 features (until June 15) but is before the v18 update:
Was my first choice, but the app would not stay open. Installed fresh on Note 10+ and it would not actually start open long enough to acknowledge the first screen of notes before crashing.
I'll keep an eye on it, but makes me sad ๐ข.
Did you open an issue on github ? If not please do with all of the details of your device such as make and model, android version , version of the app and steps to reproduce and logs if you have them.
There are most likely others who have the same issue so the sooner its reported the sooner it can be fixed. It might be a while bit at least there is a place to start with steps to reproduce the issue.
Memmy is also extremely good (on iOS).
