I was rocking the Jerboa app and now it's not letting me login. Are there any other alternatives out there?

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:

  1. Logout via Home -> Hamburger menu -> accounts are at the top, click there and sign out. Try signing in, did you win?
  2. 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?
  3. If not, sign out again and sign back in. Did you win?
  4. 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.world instance 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

This is the way

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 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
