Lemmy.world is having some issues, but at the same time, Jeroba has felt like a fine early app to a platform going through extremely rapid growing pains. I think friendly feedback is helpful as the platform itself grows and the apps react to platform changes. If I'm correct, Jeroba is dev'd by the same people as Lemmy itself, so it makes sense that it's not got full focus right now, but in a lot of ways is the primary "blessed" client to test new lemmy features with.

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.

Very fair and reasonable points. That's interesting to know about the dev, I had no idea! It's gotta be a shit load of work. I look forward to seeing where it goes from here
It's 2 devs actually, but still, a lot of workload for just 2 guys... sure, they have help with the sudden influx of users, but that doesn't change the fact that they have to review PRs before they're submitted to main/master.
It's Jerboa.
Perhaps it’s an issue with Lemmy.world It's exactly that. See: https://lemmy-world.statuspage.io/
That might explain it then. Thanks for the resource!
Shitjustworks and Lemmy World had Server issues recently. Apparently bot Attacks (probably reddit lol, cope spez)
Never had this problem
It has been quite unstable for me during the last three days or so.
Also, it does not grey out viewed or voted posts anymore, which is quite annoying.
You're also on lemmy.world, same as OP. As others have pointed out, that server is having issues, it's not Jerboa's fault.
No issues here. Keeps me logged in, no problem.
Try another app if you want, maybe.
Regarding the account 'removal", when Jerboa fails to load your person info it will look like your in Anonymous mode and that your account is removed which is not the case. I have PR that fixes this and JWT session expired problem and some other checks. It might be included in the next release.
I have the same problem, the last version keep login you out.
Try Connect. It's a good idea to run multiple apps while they're currently being built to have more functionality. If one breaks use the other ones. I was using Jerboa today because I had problems with Connect.
Connect has some issues but overall I like it and second the recommendation to add it at least until everything stabilizes.
I've been having issues with the view not refreshing, so I end up double and triple posting a lot. And then it doesn't show that something is deleted, so I try to delete the duplicates several times, give up, edit them to apologize for the dupes, and then it shows as deleted when I save. It's annoying.
Stopped working entirely for me after the admins were pushing that server exploit fix a week or so ago. Could not log back in at all and it wouldn't load any posts. Switched over to Connect and has been smooth sailing so far
Yeah I feel like I've had this for like 1-2 weeks intermittently. I'll try out Connect in the meantime. Thanks!!
Did you try deleting the account entirely? Or clearing cache/data?
Just wanted to update you, Connect feels fantastic and I absolutely love the UI/UX. Thanks again for the recommendation!
I still want to give all the other apps a chance tho, don't think I'm ditching Jeroba quite yet :)
You're very welcome! Glad I could help
I was having some issues with one instance I use, no one else seemed to. I already checked everything was updated and all that. Un-installed, re-installed and now everything seems to run fine. Hopefully that'll help if no other fix is found.
I'll try that and see if it improves. No idea why I didn't consider trying that first lol
Thanks!
It's usually the fault of your insatnce (in this case, lemmy.world). It may be worth exporting your subscriptions and migrating to another instance if this is an annoyance.
Usually, clearing app data/cache fixes this, if the issue with the instance itself has been solved.
