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!
Nice! Glad you got it figured out.
