Is Jerboa for Lemmy crashing for anyone else?

I've been using Jerboa for Lemmy for my Beehaw account since the Migration. At first it worked fine. Then I started getting an error message about the version of Lemmy being used on the instance. But for the last couple of days it has been crashing immediately on opening:

Jerboa Error Message

Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone recommend an alternative app?

Thanks!

Switched to liftoff and continue enjoying fediverse.

But I'm not on beehaw.

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.

Awesome! I was looking for a good client. Tried it and it's working great. Thanks for the suggestion!

I was able to login using Beehaw, it was Kbin that I was missing lol.

But since the crashing I am trying out Connect. I like Jeroba though so once it's fixed I'll probably switch back, we'll see

Edit: so, from another comment in the thread clearing cache and storage from Jeroba stops the crashing, but since Beehaw isn't on the same server version I can't log into Jeroba.

That said, I'll actually be waiting for the Boost for Lemmy app, the dev is super.

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!

Also consider trying wefwef for an alternative webapp experience.

[–] nickb333 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the recommendation. Have just installed and connected back to Beehaw.

I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa, and am enjoying the Liftoff experience thus far. Works with Beehaw just fine.

Liftoff feels great. If this keeps getting features, I dont see myself switching.

Dev is killing it

[–] kanathan 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, nice! Jerboa and Connect were both OK, but each were missing a few features that I wanted. I'm really liking Liftoff so far.

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] RiddleMeWhy 2 points 1 year ago

A major benefit of liftoff to me is that it takes me to linked communities in app, instead of in browser like Jerboa. Makes it easier to subscribe to new communities that people share in comments

[–] pztrn@bin.pztrn.online 1 points 1 year ago

IDK, it works for me from the very first start.
