Well, yeah, hello! I'm new here, just created my account, i have experience on the fediverse but lemmy is still pretty new to me. I don't really know if i should be posting this here, sorry if not, but i cant think of somewhere that looks much better, but anyway i wanted to make a little question, like, the classic thing with android apps, i know it's everything on early development but like, after creating this account i was going to login on jeroba on my phone, but it said the instance needed to be at least on lemmy 0.18 in order to login there, i get that, but majority of instances don't seem to have updated yet too soo... what are all you guys doing while the update isn't here yet? i tried another app here (lemmur) but it couldn't even recognize the existence of this instance so whatever. Well, what i wanted to know as i said was what are y'all doing, just using the web version, or maybe there is some other app that still works on 0.17.4?

Thanks for reading! :)

I've been using Jerboa without any issue.

You've been? How?? for me it always says that this instance version it too low...

Wait, maybe it's something with the F-droid version? Let me test the google play one, had forgotten to test that

Oh, just noticed the name is Jerboa not "Jeroba" sorry there haha

[–] Quills 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eh nevermind, playstore version doesn't even launch, it crashes the moment it tries to load the feed so i can't even try to login

Download 0.35 from the GitHub.

[–] Quills 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This one worked, but it's no different from the one i downloaded via F-droid, same error when logging in

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That error pops up for me but after I dismiss it everything works fine

[–] Quills 2 points 2 years ago

Now i noticed that here dismissing this makes it looks like it's logged in, but when i try to do basically anything that would require login it fails, in the case of interacting with posts it just reacts as if i was not logged, and when i restart the app the apparent "login" just disappears

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No use 0.34 because 0.35 only works with Lemmy v0.18 which isn't even officially out yet.

[–] Quills 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

ok, will take a look, thank you!

Oh, but 0.34 has the crash problem... Should i use 0.33 then

Ah nevermind, found how to work around it! Thank you a looot!!

[–] ShadowAether 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Idk but I logged in on an older version and it didn't log me out so maybe downgrade it then upgrade it? (Edit: seems like I'm still on 0.33)

[–] Quills 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ooh, must be the version you're on then

[–] ShadowAether 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ya, I forgot I turned off automatic app updates after something similar with another app

[–] Quills 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hmm, yeah F-droid (Neo store actually but anyway) had auto updated mine here and it stopped working, reinstalled and disabled auto updating for Jerboa now so it probably won't happen again

I never realized how many people use mobile apps. I always assumed everyone was using desktop browsers

[–] cyanarchy 1 points 2 years ago

I used to use reddit almost exclusively on mobile. So far I use lemmy exclusively on my browser and I'm going to try to avoid installing a mobile app entirely, for personal productivity reasons.

Do you notice that your title and the first quarter of your post are rambling about posting, instead of focusing on the content of your post? There was little idea what the post was about until halfway through the main body. Consider the following alterations, naming the post more like "login issues" or " unable to log in", and deleting everything in the body before "I was going to log in". Put a little context in the middle of the post, if necessary; we don't need a prequel to your choice to post as an introduction.

[–] Quills 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

O-oh, so there's a right format to make posts That makes sense, i guess it gets annoying, sorry... I have this habit of rambling a lot when going to ask something and things like that but now I'll do my best in being more direct and use more objective titles (that's what it needs to be right?) Posting was something that i used to almost never do in reddit too so I'm not used to making proper posts, thanks a lot for the instructions!

[–] The_Hideous_Orgalorg 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't have to feel bad, but if you make some adjustments, it becomes easier for people to read and understand your point. As it was, scrolling past your post would be easy for those interested in your topic, simply because the first bit had nothing to do with the actual content.

[–] Quills 1 points 2 years ago

Hmm, yeah i can see that, thank you

[–] cyanarchy 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Rambly posts aren't the end of the world, but titles that don't clearly explain what you're asking about will tend to be overlooked or outright scorned. As someone with a bad habit of structuring sentences in reverse order, I understand your desire to communicate in a way that feels natural.

Glad to have you in the community.

[–] Quills 3 points 2 years ago

Yeaah, true

Thanks a lot!

Why tf do you stutter in text

[–] Quills 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You mean the "O-oh"? Idk, i just, feel like if i don't put it there i won't be expressing myself properly. I've been occasionally doing this kind of thing on my more casual messages as far i can remember

[–] asleepinpairee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Check out https://wefwef.app. It's a web app that runs really smoothly and is very pretty.

[–] Quills 1 points 2 years ago

Oh this one! I tried it some time ago, it is pretty cool, but it doesn't have some features from the default I'd miss so i just saved it here and will wait till when it gets more mature, thanks for the suggestion!
