I am a new user (actually, this is my first post on Lemmy, yay!). I registered through the web, but since my Reddit-use was mainly on my phone, I installed Jerboa (version 0.0.33 from the Play store) and everything seemed nice. I was just scrolling and saw something I wanted to upvote. So I clicked the upvote-button, but I got a message saying I needed to log in for that. Then I tried clicking a reply-button on a comment, but I got the same message.

I double checked, I am definitly logged in.

What’s going on here? Is this a known bug with a workaround I need to know or something?

    I believe that Lemmy was updated and it has broke compatibility. Version 0.0.35 alpha is the latest version of Jerboa, but isn’t published yet on Google Play or F-Droid. When it is it should resolve the issues.

      I’m still on 0.0.33 and it seems to be working for me - at least to make this comment and upvote yours.

        Interesting. The app immediately crashes for me but I’m on a different instance, so maybe lemmy.ml still works on v0.0.33 and it is something else. In that case I’d recommend they clear their app cache/data and re-login.

          I’m on lemmy.world and if i am using this right, it looks like you are too.

          Could be an instance-related issue then?

            I believe it is. Here is a related GitHub issue that I started encountering yesterday:

            https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/843

            It could be something else, but I believe it is probably related and that when the new version is published that it should resolve.

              Okay, I’ll wait a bit for the Play store to catch up then, if possible I like the ease of automatic updates that way.

              Thanks for the fast replies!

          It’s the other way round. Jerboa v0.0.35 only works with v0.18 of Lemmy and only lemmy.ml is the only instance that’s updated so far. Previous versions of Jerboa only work with previous versions of Lemmy.

            Okay, I’m registered on lemmy.world, which runs 0.17.4 if I see it correctly in the footer.

            I’m a bit confused right now, since this would mean that my Play-store version 0.0.33 should be working for me?
