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.

are there any ways this app can interact with Mastodon users? (feddit.uk)

I heard on mastodon you can apparently interact with lemmy users, although it presents itself horribly. Is it possible with Jerboa to interact with mastodon?

I like how everyone is answering the literal question asked (is it possible? Yes!) and no one is picking up on the extremely obviously implied question of “how?”

(I don’t know how or I’d answer)

Mastodon users can see this thread in their app. It appears as a normal Tweet, and all the comments are replies to the Tweet.

You often see Mastodon Tweets when you change the sort from Local to All, but unless you pay attention you don't notice the difference

But can I follow a specific Mastodon account?

I cannot find a way to follow accounts on Jerboa

Not really. Maybe that's instance dependent but all I see is posts to lemmy communities. I know that mastodon users can post in lemmy communities by tagging the community and it shows up here but how would a tweet with no tags show up?

Those saying yes, please explain how.

That's weird. I can only see 2 comments and they both are asking for 'yes' commenters to explain how.

Your comment is a Tweet in Mastodon, replying to OPs Tweet

Mastodon users can interact with Lemmy, that why some instances have a "chat" community.
But you can interact with any community from Mastodon (Ex @[email protected]), it will show all posts and comments as reply.

So maybe in the future it's possible, the app is still alpha and many issues with Lemmy need to be fixed, don't see interacting with other networks so soon.

PS: There's an app Fedilab which works with multiple fediverse networks, maybe it will have support sooner for Lemmy and interact with other networks
