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'm pretty sure I've been running the latest version for a few days, so I don't think it was an update to the app that broke it, though it does give me some kind of update screen that I can't read because it immediately crashes.

Just thought I'd post to see what was up, since I don't see any other posts mentioning it.

If I install from somewhere other than the play store, can I still update from the play store later, or will I have to uninstall and reinstall again?

I haven't personally testing switching app stores as I have F-droid installed for other reasons and just intuitively used it from the start for jerboa. My belief though is that anytime you switch sources for an app, you're best off uninstalling/reinstalling... and with Jerboa the worst side effect of that is having to re-login.

... but since I also have other Lemmy apps installed to use in the meantime, I've been figuring I'd just wait it out...

This is a perfectly reasonable choice, just wanted you to know what it took to get Jerboa doing it's thing again. If you have other ways of using Lemmy you're satisfied with, have at it.
