Is there any possibility to have the appearance settings saved per account and not for the whole application? I have 2 accounts, one for general sfw use where I want the nsfw content to look blurry and the other for some communities sharing nsfw content, which I'd like to not look blurry. I'd also like to have different colors for the secondary account, but that's not my main "concern".

Thanks for your great work with Lemmy and the Jerboa app.

It's good to see the rapid development. Lemmy is very quickly developing a thriving ecosystem.

Crashes for me if I'm on anything earlier than 0.18

This is nothing new: Jerboa doesn't support instances < 0.18.

It is new. 0.0.36 worked find on 0.17.4. There was just the update message. Now the app just crashes on start.

This is more than weird. Jerboa dropped support for instances < 0.18 a few releases ago. I think 0.0.34-alpha was the last version that supported 0.17.4.

Can anybody confirm why? The bigger instances are all on 0.17.4 still, aren't they?

Lemmy 0.18 introduced API breaking changes namely because it switched from WebSocket to HTTP as transfer protocol. They also dropped captcha support in 0.18 which is the reason why lemmy.world and other bigger instances are waiting for 0.18.1 to re-introduce captcha support.

ah now it makes sense. Thats whay I had to uninstall jerboa because the logged in instance did not support 0.18

Does anybody know, why the f-droid releases are delayed so much? Still on .35 here. Even play store seems to have .37

I think it's because they build each app from source to ensure what you see on github is what you get. And I think it just takes a while to process with so many apps on fdroid getting updates.

Fdroid takes a few days generally because they build everything themselves.

Ugh, on Android (Samsung s22) can't even log in... Login form spins a bit but does nothing, user name shows on top left, subscribed communities are fetched but nothing else works (subscribed feed empty, inbox says need to login, etc. ..), restarting resets back to anonymous.

Are you trying to log in to an instance that hasn't updated to Lemmy v0.18 yet (like most of them)? Versions of Jerboa greater than 0.0.34 only support the newer Lemmy version.

I ran into that error too, but I have no clue what causes it... I'm working on a tweaked Jerboa myself to try to mitigate the issues that annoy me the most

Would you consider submitting pull requests back to the main project to fix them for everyone?

Strange responses from server really seem to confuse jerboa. If there's high load, for example. Looking like only anonymous account is active seems to be a common result.

Yes, that's a solid option, especially since it works fine with another user I created on a different instance. I'll let it go for now and try tomorrow and see. Thanks!

Strange - I created a new user on a different instance (sh.itjust.works) and that's working just fine, meaning it's something related to this specific user 🤔

Try using connect for lemmy. My experience of lemmy has increased multiple times since switching.

Keeps crashing app failed to open

Uninstall and install back again.

I understand it. Server problems. Im on lemmy.world and it 17.4

Yeah now the app is starting but I can't login. Hopefully the issues get fixed soon so that @Ruud can upgarde the server.

This update unfortunately broke jerboa for my phone. Was at least still able to use it but now it consistently crashes after a couple of seconds.

Give liftoff a try, I tired it after the crashing and I like it

Whoa, thanks. This is the best app for me right now. I'm really happy.

This time it crashes immediatly at startup. I'm on a Fairphone 3 with LineageOS.

Edit: You have to uninstall and reinstall the app to prevent this crash at startup.
