I'm so new, I'm a baby, I have no idea what I'm doing. I did just create my account, I tried using the app but it wouldn't let me. Saying server version too low. I'm sorry for my ignorance, but is this what that means? And this means we can't use the app yet right?
Also, thank you for all of this. I will be here for it all, I'm staying forever! I already love this so much more than anything else ๐ฅฐ
You are probably on Jerboa. Either downgrade or use the web UI interim.
Or use any of the other apps
What are the other apps? Please & thank you. I just found this on boru in Reddit & am jumping in blind. So excuse my ignorance & thank you for your help ๐ญ
Thank you! I will give it a shot for now. I am def gonna be learning as much as I can to better understand how to use Lemmy.
Have a look here: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
Oh thank you so much!!
As others have mentioned, Liftoff and Thunder are working without issue. Liftoff should be available in the Play Store, not sure about the app store though.
Thank you so much ๐ I'm on Android, so I'll take a look at them.
Connect seems to be working fine for me. You can get it from the google play store if you don't want to have to fiddle with trying to do some fancy install stuff.
I had issues with Jerboa and some others. Connect for Lemmy worked fine and it's being updated daily, it seems. Everytime i open it, it's more polished and has new features.
I'm also just a few days in and learning as i go.
Nice! I will give it a try, thank you so much ๐
Here's an overview outlining some different options. I'm using Connect at the moment
Thank you very much ๐
There's a few of them. Connect, liftoff, summit, jerboa, lemmur, and mlem (iOS) seem to be the front runners so far. Apparently the person who made sync for reddit is working on one for lemmy which seems very promising since a ton of people really liked sync but it's not out yet.
You can also kinda use the website as an app if you want but that's not exactly what you were asking.
Lemmur is actually discontinued and has been forked to become Liftoff
Sorry, I'm so dumb.. is there a place I can learn how to use Lemmy better? I don't know how to downgrade ๐ฅฒ
Thank you for your help.
No problem. Most lemmy instances currently experience some growing pains due to sudden influx of new users. Meanwhile we have to be patient and use e.g. https://lemmy.world instead of the mobile app you are using. Or try a different app, I personally am looking forward to Slide for Lemmy.
Oh nice! Thank you!
I am currently on the website over app atm. And I completely understand the growing pains. I'm here for it all, I will wait patiently ๐
Hello and welcome! This guide will give you a bit of information on the workings of Lemmy https://lemmy.world/post/37906
Ooh, thank you! This is exactly what I needed. ๐ฅฐ
In Jerboa? Yeah. There's other apps for Android though in development.
For example I'm enjoying Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/download/v0.2.1%2B7/thunder-v0.2.1+7.apk
And there's also Liftoff and Connect for Lemmy on the Play store.
Until we can get the instance updated, yeah the jerboa app doesn't really work. You could try another app, I'm using liftoff but that's harder to install, you could Google "thunder Lemmy" and try that one, I haven't tested it much but I've heard good things
Thank you for your help ๐
Connect for something is another okey-ish one I've been using in the mean time. I'll probably change to something else once we're updated but it works for now.
I'm a newbie too and that happened when I tried to sign into Jerboa. Using Thunder app now because I don't know how to fix the other one.
