Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

A web browser, yes, but you should be able to use your sopuli.xyz account just fine. For example, to get to the Jerboa community we're having this discussion in, you would go to the URL https://sopuli.xyz/c/[email protected] in your web browser. What that does is basically tell sopuli.xyz to show you the community named "jerboa" hosted on the domain (instance) named lemmy.ml. Without the @lemmy.ml, it would look for /c/jerboa on sopuli.xyz, and get a 404 because it isn't hosted there.

If you're signed in to sopuli.xyz on that web browser, you can subscribe to the community from there, and then you would be able to get to it from within Jerboa. My account is with beehaw.org, so if I wanted to do the same, I would go to https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected]. It's a bit weird, but not that complicated, and it will quickly seem normal once you get used to it.

All that said, one thing I've noticed is if a community from a different instance than the one you're using has 0 posts, it will 404 if you try to go to it from your own instance, and it also won't show up in a search within Jerboa. For example, [email protected] has 0 posts as of this writing, and will 404 if I try to view it from Beehaw or sopuli; it only shows up if I view it directly at lemmy.ml/c/animanga, which doesn't help much since I don't have an account with lemmy.ml.
