Title is the post
Yeah. Beehaw isn’t on version 0.18 and Jerboa isn’t compatible with anything below that version, so I figured that’s why I went from no crashes to a bunch of 'em. I switched to Liftoff for now.
Beehaw is probably waiting for the next release to update.
I understood that 0.18 was a release candidate and not production ready. There seem to be a few killer issues awaiting 0.18.1
…now looking into liftoff
Thanks! Also, didn’t know it was a Java app. Now I might get to contribute if I ever get a minute from not working my 9 to 5…6…11…3AM…
It’s written in Kotlin, not Java fyi
Well, there goes my enthusiasm
Kotlin is definitely worth learning as a Java dev. It’s a wonderful language and plays nice with prior Java knowledge.
Yes, a LOT.
I had a couple crashes.
It might have something to do with the update haveing changes that require Lemmy 0.18 and Beehaw is still running 0.17.4.
I assume they’re waiting for the 0.18.1 version that restores support for captchas.
My problem with the app is that it won’t respect my default view (subscribed, new). But neither will Connect.
Growing pains.

My experience is that 0.0.35 crashes a lot, but looks a lot more finished. Also the default view settings seem ignored but I can manually to whatever I want. I have always found posting unreliable on both the old and new apps. I use the PWA (Progressive Web App) for posting or just do it on my workstation. Hoping 0.0.35+ stabilize either by new releases OR Beehaw updates will fix some of the issues. Some say that 0.0.35+ just does not work on Beehaw until they migrate to a new server version (probably next week or so), but I do not have that issue.
It crashed when I first tried to open this post lol.
Overall, it currently crashes annoyingly often, but not enough to make me reluctant to use it.
Oh yeah it crashes and bugs more often than it doesn’t.
What version are you currently using?
I think the app is getting better with every update, and the latest version 0.0.35 is quite good.
Remember that the app is still in an development stage.
I’m on 0.0.35. Just noticed this last night and this morning.
I get that it’s in development and that’s fine. I was just wondering if it was me or them ;)
Hmmm, then I don’t know, it shouldn’t be crashing though. Strange.
I’m currently using GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6
Same, since I updated my instance to 0.18 Jerboa doesn’t work and instantly crashes.
That’s weird. Because when I open the app, Jerboa says that my instance is on version 0.174 (or maybe 0.17.4) and that I need to contact my admin to upgrade to 0.18. I’ve been getting this message very time I log in for the last few days.
Sounds like you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
I can’t find the login on the app, lol. Uninstalled
There were tons of crashing complaints so I stayed on the previous Jerboa version until my instance upgraded to 18.0.
Haven’t had any crashes since updating but the app is starting to feel less polished, doing a lot of reloading and no longer returning to the last position in a thread when pressing back… will likely jump ship when some more 3rd party apps finish baking.
Yeah each time I respond it either crashes or brings me to the top of the thread
Sometimes it closes and has the default view bug, but in general it goes well, we are talking about an alpha, you have to be patient
I installed todays update and it got better. It happens quite regularly though
Nope, not just you. Downloaded it and tried to start it, but kept crashing on me immediately every time. Switched to another app.
