The app works well for the most part, but every now and then, when I tap to get into a comment section, it will go to the comments of an entirely different post. Backing out and trying a second time has worked every time so far. I’m running the app from my Pixel 6 pro if that matters.
This used to happen to me an older version but since upgrading to 0.0.40 I’ve not experienced this anymore
I had yhis issue until recently. Probably fixed in 0.0.40
this has occasionally happened for me on older versions of jerboa. I am currently on the v0.0.39 f-droid build and this issue has completely vanished.
also, my ‘home’ instance is running mainline lemmy v0.18.2, so that may make a difference under certain circumstances when using particular versions of jerboa and your home instance experiences congestion.
edit: your home instance (sh.itjust.works) seems to be on lemmy v0.18.2 - so, barring any weirdness on your lemmy server, its likely just your version of jerboa.
Contrary to the other comments, I think this issue still persists. It happened to me multiple times today, and I am using 0.0.39 from F-Droid. Can’t tell about 0.0.40.
interesting. as mentioned before, this issue completely disappeared for me around about v0.0.37 or 38.
iirc, i do seem to remember that the issue involved stale overlay popup screens when jerboa didnt get a reply from the server in time. but, I cant seem to reproduce the issue at all anymore, so…?
the v0.0.40 f-droid build of jerboa is complete and just waiting to get into the distribution repo. would love to hear if an update improves anything.
I will report back if it solves the issue. Had it happening a lot yesterday, like 1 out of 3 times.
As promised: So far the bug seems fixed with v0.0.40. Here is the related PR: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/1029
As others have noted, this was an issue that was frequently with Jerboa ~v0.34 or so with Lemmy v0.17.x and was attributed to the buggy websockets API. It initially stopped happening to me once
lemmy.world
upgraded to Lemmy v0.18.x and I got on Jerboa v0.37 or so… and most reports of it died down as well.But in the last couple days, I have been seeing it as well. Including today. I’m now running Jerboa v0.40 against
lemmy.world
with a v0.18.2 build… so it’s not websockets anymore it must be a different underlying cause. But I definitely do confirm your report of seeing the wrong post and fixing it via reloading, though I can’t explain why. I also use liftoff and voyager viam.lemmy.world
and I haven’t seen the problem there. I assume it’s a local bug in Jerboa this time, rather than a protocol issue.So anyhoo, you’re not alone in seeing this and although folks are correct to say that a similar issue was already fixed… it’s possible to see this with fully updated Jerboa. In fact, I think it must be a bug that was introduced somewhere between v0.38 and v0.40.because it stopped happening for a while after things upgraded away from Lemmy v0.17.x and the jerboa versions form around that time.
That’s why I stopped using the app and switched to liftoff until the issue is fixed.
I’m patiently waiting for Boost for Lemmy till then Jerboa will do.
