Is it a lemmy issue or a jerboa issue?
Serious Answer: This is a Jerboa issue. Lemmy is written in Rust. The error message is a Java error which is what native Android apps use.
I think it's both, actually. Lemmy is often giving html where json is expected, and Jerboa isn't handling the error well.
Well, what should Jerboa do? Pretend it received content?
It should display a human-readable error message instead of the raw one.
Take it as an error, tell the user about it and then retry with exponential back-off.
