Installed and cant login to lemmy.world. Says some kind of incompatibility with this instance.
Edit: delete useless part.
It doesn’t work no matter which version I use.
Ok, thanks for the infos, I’ll probably wait as I dont use my smartphone much.
I tried downgrading but ran into the crashing issue listed in this bug report
I posted this on a different thread to downgrade your version.
May be helpful if your instance doesn’t update in a timely manner.
I can’t even downgrade anymore. Just crashes no matter what version I try on google play, fdroid or github.
I think it happens because at startup it opens lemmy.ml by defaults that is on the new version thus incompatible with old versions of jerboa.
EDIT: I think the best thing to do for now is to wait for an update from your instance
As soon as Lemmy v0.18 is released lemmy.world will be updated.
Btw @[email protected] if your downgrade fails, remove the app completely before you reinstall.
Thanks. I’ve tried removing the app data, restarting etc. but nothing seems to help.
It’s ok just now anyway as I remembered I have Jerboa installed on another android device. Can use that temporarily.
Same here. Upgraded to 35, but found out that lemmy.world won’t support v18.0 because of Captcha issues.
Tried to downgrade to 37 & 34 (fresh reinstall) and it automatically crashes.
Cannot use Jerboa anymore
I managed to get 34 going again by very quickly repeatedly tapping the top left corner of the screen (hamburger menu) at startup. Uninstalled and did it again to verify.
Just keep trying if it crashes. I can show a video if you want.
omg you’re a life saver. Replying from 34. Thanks so much!
I could only bypass the crashes by opening lemmy.world in the browser and clicking the Jerboa icon to open it on the app. Maybe that could work for you.
A few users found some ways around the crashes. I could login by repeatedly tapping the hamburger menu when opening the app and someone else said you could do it by turning of wifi/4G and only turn it back on when you’re about to login.
Not sure if this link works to show the jerboa post
Yeah, think you’re right. Will just use the website for a bit instead. Thanks
Your instance is still on 0.17.4
The version 0.33 of Lemmy should still be compatible. You may be able to get it working directly fron the github releases or from a store allowing older versions like f-droid.
However, it would be expected that most instances update to 0.18 soon. It may take some time tho.
Thx for the infos !
lemmy.world will skip 18.0 because of Captcha issues. Admin said he will wait until 18.1
The problem with this is that if you are registered to lemmy.world, no matter which version of Jerboa you use, it won’t work
Ok, cool … Thanks for the info.
Yes today a new backend version will be released. You have to wait that your instance (lemmy.world in this case) updates the backend. Lemmy.ml is already updated
Has there been an official announcement about this?
