I was rocking the Jerboa app and now it’s not letting me login. Are there any other alternatives out there?
This could be a Jerboa question, so see [email protected]. You might be looking for tips on mobile apps - please see our pinned post. Otherwise, I recommend checking the sidebar for suggestions on the best place to ask support questions.
I had to log out of all my accounts and then clear the app storage to be able to log back in to my accounts.
Basically what happened is that the hacked instances rotated their master keys and Jerboa didn’t know how to handle it.
Try these steps:
- Logout via Home -> Hamburger menu -> accounts are at the top, click there and sign out. Try signing in, did you win?
- If not, sign out again then long-press the app icon from your android launcher screen and select App Info, or find another way to get to the android settings screen for Jerboa and Clear Cache and Clear Storage. Try to log in again, did you win?
- If not, sign out again and sign back in. Did you win?
- If not, cry because I’m stumped. You could also try liftoff, which if you weren’t logged in prior to yesterday shouldn’t have a cached broken session. Or install the PWA from lemmy.world via Firefox mobile. Or use the brand new Voyager setup at m.lemmy.world again as a PWA via Firefox mobile. Of those, I like Jerboa and liftoff best.
Check out https://vger.app/ ; it’s a PWA so it’s “installable” to the launcher.
The
lemmy.worldinstance has its own voyager install at m.lemmy.world so you don’t have to enter your creds into a 3rd party proxy.Neat! Nice of them to do that. It seems to be a few releases behind, though.
Yeah, fair. I feel like I recall them mentioning an auto-updater that they hadn’t yet set up but planned to.
Folks that want to get faster updates can certainly use the voyager Dev’s instance… it’s the source after all. For someone like me that doesn’t want to enter their credentials into a 3rd party proxy, I’ve been testing world install of voyager alongside Jerboa and Liftoff and it’s been a solid option.
I hear you. I run my own instance in Docker with watchtower for auto-updates. Voyager gets lots of updates, however, so watchtower doesn’t keep up for the time being. Hopefully with time things will stabilize more and there will be less frequent releases.
Here’s a link to a list of Lemmy apps:
Is it though?
I don’t understand, what do you mean? Does the link not work for you?
I get a “Tesla now accepts Bitcoin” thread with that link.
That’s really strange. Here’s a screenshot of the page that I get when I click the link.
Weird! I’m using Connect for Lemmy, on Android. My client must be bugging. I cleared the app cache and restarted and it still takes me to
Maybe someone else on Connect for Lemmy can confirm?Sorry about the call out. It was supposed to be humorous.
Don’t worry about it, it’s no big deal.
It is strange that the link opens that for you. My first screenshot was from Jerboa, however, I also have Connect for Lemmy installed on my phone. Here’s a screenshot of the page that the link opens in it. It opens the correct post for me. So I don’t know what the problem could be. I just hope this doesn’t continue to be a problem on Lemmy, that wouldn’t be good.
I’m on Lemmy.ca, maybe that has something to do with it. Oh well 🤷
This is the way
I had to reset my password for some reason, then it let me login
There was some malicious code in links a few days ago. So a few instances logged everyone out as a quick fix
