Jerboa app doesn't work

Since a few days the app doesn't:

Allow me to post, create posts, vote, reply, block communities or persons.

I am writing this via my web browser.

Anyone else?

Have you tried relogging? Some instances had a security thing and changed tokens
- Multiple times to no avail.
Clear storage and then log in once more.
- How do I clear storage for an app?
  
  I think it may be different in some phones, but on mine I just long-press the icon and get a menu where I choose app info. From there I click 'storage usage' and click 'clear data'.
  
  Long press, app info, storage and data and then clear storage.
Have you tried using another instance? I have that problem with lemmy.world but it is ok with less populated instances.
- I haven't yet, I'll look into it.
  
  Thanks for the advice.
  
  I'm currently on tchncs.de and am very happy with the experience. Haven't encountered any of the problems I had in lemmy.world here.
- I have the same problem and pretty much with the same timing as OP, but I already am on a less populated instance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I gave up today and downloaded another. Regularly taking me back to the top of the page also did me in.
- Yeah, haven't been able to permanently fix the issues I'm having.
  
  Which one did you download?
  
  Connect. No issues so far. There aren't many things showing up on googles store.
Jerboa sucked for me since I downloaded it. Constant logouts, unable to login after entering my creds, not showing my account until I closed and reopened the app, not letting me see my comments or saved posts, and constantly getting a "log in first" error when I tried to save a post. I ditched it and downloaded Connect, and thus far it seems to be the store-brand version of Sync, my absolute favorite Reddit app ever. When the dev releases Sync for Lemmy I will switch to that, but until then Connect is usable and pleasant.
- Connect works great so far! Cheers.
  
  You are welcome and I hope you enjoy it!
  
  IDK why, but this kind of interaction was somewhat rare on Reddit but it's everywhere here. It's like everyone is giving each other the benefit of the doubt or something. I hope it stays like this and doesn't get enshittified.
It's been working great for me.
- It was working great until a day or three ago now.
