Jerboa may not be compatible with the current version of lemmy.ml (0.19.0)

You can use Eternity for the time being. Jerboa is broken for 0.19.0. The software has not even passed the 1.0.0 mark, so this behavior is understandable.

I have the same problem with Jerboa, yet if I accesses Lemmy through a web page, my account is fine. I installed Eternity on the phone and my Lemmy account has no problems on that app. Another data point that this is probably a Jerboa issue.
