I have a fork of Jerboa to help with any login issues for those with accounts still on 0.17.x, until either the servers upgrade or until a newer version allows connecting to both 0.18 and pre 0.18 servers.

Later tomorrow I will include a version with the app name changed so that it can run alongside dessalines’ version.

    Because if you’re not logged in, it will try to load lemmy.ml and crash.

    I still got it to work by spam tapping in the right places to open the log-in page.
