Jerboa appreciation

Jerboa@lemmy.ml – 593 points – 1 years ago

With a lot of talk around new apps in development & coming on stream, something I've been happy to see, & commented on, as choice is always a good thing... I thought I'd just voice my appreciation for the Jerboa team, love this App, such nice Ui & UX, I find it very easy to use, all the view options, post layouts, especially the compact view are really easy on the eyes, & great to scroll through quickly. I know there are some errors from time to time, & the odd glitch here & there, but thats something to be expected, given that Jerboa is still in its Alpha form.. Thanks for all you do, each iteration makes the experience, better & 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.

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".

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.

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:
