Well, yeah, hello! I’m new here, just created my account, i have experience on the fediverse but lemmy is still pretty new to me. I don’t really know if i should be posting this here, sorry if not, but i cant think of somewhere that looks much better, but anyway i wanted to make a little question, like, the classic thing with android apps, i know it’s everything on early development but like, after creating this account i was going to login on jeroba on my phone, but it said the instance needed to be at least on lemmy 0.18 in order to login there, i get that, but majority of instances don’t seem to have updated yet too soo… what are all you guys doing while the update isn’t here yet? i tried another app here (lemmur) but it couldn’t even recognize the existence of this instance so whatever. Well, what i wanted to know as i said was what are y’all doing, just using the web version, or maybe there is some other app that still works on 0.17.4?

Thanks for reading! :)

          Yeah, it was super fast! Login works in the latest version of jerboa now but using the website still kind of more efficient, app is still pretty buggy, mainly when writing posts, it weirdly keeps deleting characters on the beginning of the word when i try to delete the last one, it’s kinda hard to explain but it’s like: I’m writing: “a example”, then i want to delete the “e” in the end of the word, when i do that it will actually delete the space before the example word too, leaving me with: “aexampl” I think that’s more or less what happens

      You’ve been? How?? for me it always says that this instance version it too low…

      Wait, maybe it’s something with the F-droid version? Let me test the google play one, had forgotten to test that

      Oh, just noticed the name is Jerboa not “Jeroba” sorry there haha

        Idk but I logged in on an older version and it didn’t log me out so maybe downgrade it then upgrade it? (Edit: seems like I’m still on 0.33)

              Hmm, yeah F-droid (Neo store actually but anyway) had auto updated mine here and it stopped working, reinstalled and disabled auto updating for Jerboa now so it probably won’t happen again

                Now i noticed that here dismissing this makes it looks like it’s logged in, but when i try to do basically anything that would require login it fails, in the case of interacting with posts it just reacts as if i was not logged, and when i restart the app the apparent “login” just disappears

      Ok, thank you!

      Voice over quills? I don’t recognize that name, and I’m no one famous so I’m pretty sure I’m not that person, sorry. I’m just a little normal Quill

          It’s fine, after a quick search i found out bout that person, and yup, I’m not her! haha

          Anyway, so that’s why Lemmur seemed so broken! And i tried thunder too, but it also didn’t work. I found an app here that makes using the web version as a client lots more convenient tho so i guess I’ll just stick with it for now, till the apps mature more and all, only disadvantage is no notifications, but it’s fine. Well, thanks for the info and help!

    I never realized how many people use mobile apps. I always assumed everyone was using desktop browsers

      I used to use reddit almost exclusively on mobile. So far I use lemmy exclusively on my browser and I’m going to try to avoid installing a mobile app entirely, for personal productivity reasons.

    Do you notice that your title and the first quarter of your post are rambling about posting, instead of focusing on the content of your post? There was little idea what the post was about until halfway through the main body. Consider the following alterations, naming the post more like “login issues” or " unable to log in", and deleting everything in the body before “I was going to log in”. Put a little context in the middle of the post, if necessary; we don’t need a prequel to your choice to post as an introduction.

      O-oh, so there’s a right format to make posts That makes sense, i guess it gets annoying, sorry… I have this habit of rambling a lot when going to ask something and things like that but now I’ll do my best in being more direct and use more objective titles (that’s what it needs to be right?) Posting was something that i used to almost never do in reddit too so I’m not used to making proper posts, thanks a lot for the instructions!

        You don’t have to feel bad, but if you make some adjustments, it becomes easier for people to read and understand your point. As it was, scrolling past your post would be easy for those interested in your topic, simply because the first bit had nothing to do with the actual content.

        Rambly posts aren’t the end of the world, but titles that don’t clearly explain what you’re asking about will tend to be overlooked or outright scorned. As someone with a bad habit of structuring sentences in reverse order, I understand your desire to communicate in a way that feels natural.

        Glad to have you in the community.

          You mean the “O-oh”? Idk, i just, feel like if i don’t put it there i won’t be expressing myself properly. I’ve been occasionally doing this kind of thing on my more casual messages as far i can remember

      Oh this one! I tried it some time ago, it is pretty cool, but it doesn’t have some features from the default I’d miss so i just saved it here and will wait till when it gets more mature, thanks for the suggestion!
