I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about people being stuck between server (lemmy 0.18) and client (Jerboa 0.0.33—35) versions (not installed from IzzyOnDroid and logged in) with Jerboa crashing. Here’s a way to avoid that issue while still being able to log in and browse both Lemmy 0.18 or older instances.
- Add IzzyOnDroid repo to F-Droid
- Delete app data from Android app info (edit)
- Uninstall current version of Jerboa
- Install 0.0.33 IzzyOnDroid version of Jerboa
- Set phone to Airplane mode
- Open Jerboa and use the hamburger menu to add your account
- Fill in server, username, and password
- Turn off Airplane mode
- Login
You’ll get a old server version notification of your server hasn’t updated but you’ll be able to use Jerboa regardless of server version.
Hope this helps!
Never crashed for me on login, but there are some showstopper bugs:
