Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Server issue? (beehaw.org)

I had this notice pop up when I opened Jerboa this morning. Anyone know whether it will cause issues? I'm on Beehaw, if that matters.

Things will break here and there, but it largely works. One thing that definitely doesn't work is logging in, though it you're already logged in, it works fine.

no, it does not.

excuse me but jerboa crashing after each "send" is hardly "fine", not even "largely working".

why has the release not been synchronized? as i understand it this required server upgrade is not even available now?

first everybody said get the upgrade, it will fix this or that problem. now you are told to downgrade again ..

also, quoting/ pasting is messed up, filtering still does not stay as set and so on.

yes, work in progress but this way you will not be able to offer an alternative for those who will soon leave reddit because their app no longer works.

Remember you are not dealing with a massive corporation.

Some random dude made this app. This same dude was just tasked with managing dozens of contributors to the code base. Well organized and establishped companies struggle with increasing a department two fold overnight.

I think the dev is doing great. I understand your concern and it is a valid one, but I think we should try to set the tone around people joining that this is not reddit and due to the way it is structured and developed there will be different kinds of hiccups. Also it wasn't like reddit didn't have issues with updates breaking things.
