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.

I just wanted to say I appreciate the work you've down on this app and look forward to future improvements. While there's a flood of suggestions and complaints let's all remember to keep it civil and understand that it's going to take time and work to improve this app. While some of the suggestions may seem nit picky or like whining remember we all just want to improve the experience here!

I find the website to be very usable on mobile, so I'm just using Firefox for now. I liked the feel of Jerboa but ran into too many inconvenient behaviors to continue using it for the time being. But I expect many of those issues will be resolved in a relatively short period of time.

This platform is being built before our eyes, and we as users need to see ourselves less as consumers of a product and more as supporters of a project.

Please mention those problems. Only through feedback this app will improve.

I thought we were at the point where people had already come in with a flood of suggestions and complaints and it's going to take some time to fix them so we should all just chill.

But if you must know, I was most frustrated by the app opening links to other comments/communities in my web browser. That was entirely useless, because it just put me on another server where I wasn't signed up and couldn't comment or vote, and it also took me out of the app.

Yea, I'm in the same place. People link communities but it just shoots me off to my browser. Hopefully it gets fixed up soon.

Nah you should always post feedbacks.
