For the past day or so every time I try to open Jerboa it just crashes immediately without an error message why. Is there any scheduled update/fix for Jerboa? I’d like to be able to browse on mobile again and really enjoyed the app while it was working.

It’s not working for me. So I switched to Liftoff.

Same. Won’t let me log in. Liftoff is fantastic though!

I already have Thunder, Connect, Summit, Liftoff and Jerboa. I just thought I would play with all of them for a few weeks until I find the one I like best.

Same here. Liftoff is great.

Just installed liftoff to try it out and unfortunately have to say that I like the layout even BETTER than Jerboa!

I feel a weird sense of loyalty to Jerboa because it was my first app for Lemmy but I might actually like Liftoff better.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I changed some settings to make it look better to me. I’m happiest with liftoff right now.

Latest Jerboa requires a specific server version and not every server has updated yet.

There are a lot of other app options! Like Thunder, Connect or Summit

What’s Summit? Never heard of it.

Dev of Summit here. It is a lemmy reader like the other apps mentioned. You can find it on the play store by searching “app for lemmy” or “lemmy reader”. I’m actually releasing a big update today. Here’s a preview of the feature: https://youtube.com/shorts/8mIVZflUHhU?feature=share.

The only one I could find on the Play store is Liftoff. I guess the others have to be downloaded from elsewhere.

You can download Thunder from IzzyOnDroid (you can add this as a repository to F-Droid).

Summit should be on the playstore. Try searching “app for lemmy” or “lemmy reader”.

I found Summit later on, and it didn’t work well for me.

Give Thunder a shot. I really like it

My issue is not being available from a platform. Downloading an unknown apk is more risk than how evil the Play store is.

Is it available on an Fdroid repo? I didn’t find it on the main one.

It was working for me with some glitches (for example always opening with sorting all/hot instead of what I had set up, subscribed/new).

Then yesterday it auto updated, and the glitches are gone.

This is being discussed in https://lemmy.world/c/jerboa@lemmy.ml too. You might want to check out that Community.

There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.
