Thanks for all the hard work! Jerboa is better in alpha than the official Reddit app ever was (or likely will be).
Jerboa
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.

Its no probs. This one was all volunteer contributions by skilled android developers who just want to make the fediverse better. I'm extremely grateful to all of them.
a few days i use jerboa daily : it's not perfect but i can deal with all the restrictions
But i really miss an option to make all post as 'read' with a single button Just a suggestion for the next release. Thank you for your great work
I'm not even joking when I say that this app, despite being in alpha, is a more pleasant experience than the official Reddit app.
- Jerboa has not begged me to turn on notifications
- Jerboa has not yelled at me for taking a screenshot or begged me to send it as a link to the site instead
- Jerboa has not warned me that I am "low on coins"
- Jerboa has not tried to make me create an NFT avatar
- Jerboa contains more formatting options in comments than the Reddit app (!)
- Jerboa is smart enough to autopopulate the link title when I highlight text to be converted to a link. Reddit app still lacks this feature (!)
It is extremely impressive how much money these large tech companies throw at an app and it turns out to be shitty as fuck. I wonder what bullshit features they pack in to make it like that.
This app is like... a soft fluffy blanket. Love it.
The in-app image viewer is such a welcome feature!
thank you all for your hard work and contributions to making our experience on Lemmy so nice
that first time committer list is fire!
Yeah, the number of skilled android devs contributing now is unreal. We're gonna loop past A LOT of reddit apps in two weeks at this rate.
That decision to lay a solid foundation for an Android app really bearing fruit right now. Thanks for all the hard work and thanks to all the new contributors.
I've been incredibly impressed at how fast the Jerboa team is working to catch up with the influx of new users and issues. Massive thanks for all the work getting done!
Much easier to collapse comments now. Thanks!
I actually hate it, I keep doing it by accident.
Yeah, in Boost, I used a long press to hide comment, it was harder to do accidentally.
Thank you devs, great release.
Might I add some remarks?
- The login feature is not really intuitive. When not logged in and pressing on any of the icons below, instead of displaying a "login first" notification, bring the user to the login screen?
- Possibility to collapse and expand comment threads (as @[email protected] pointed out this already works by touching the comment)
- When I click on a link and it for example opens an image, allow me to press the Android back button to go back to the discussion. Right now the only option is to press the back arrow hovering over the image.
If there's a better place to post these requests let me know and I'll post it there
This!
I started using Jerboa today and the login confused me. Jerboa demands login but I couldn:'t find out how to login first
I remember Slide for Reddit having similar issues with their UX but their error message is more informative IIRC
Thanks to everyone who has opened issues or submitted PRs! 14 new contributors this round!
Great update! Thanks!
Only thing missing for now is the ability to sort comments in posts (as in new/popular/best,etc) like in the browser version, which has been sorely missing for the main community of one of my instances. Any info on when is that going to be implemented?
How long does FDroid usually take to show the update?
F-droid can be like a week, but izzyondroid should take less than a day.
I don't have patience, I just grabbed the apk from the github page...
The user experience is great for me. Terrific app even in alpha.
Thanks for all your and contributors hard work. I've signed up for your Patreon and hope to see this platform flourish.
This is great. Just installed and the image viewer is great along with the fonts being consistent.
Thanks to everyone involved!
Nice update. I'm glad I can now login to any community from any instance regardless of if it's in the list or not.
Oh wow it's looking so much more polished and that annoying white flash is gone.
Yay. Good job guys.
I'm so glad that white flash you used to get when switcing tabs is gone. Thank you for all your hardwork!
Love the app! Thank you for being RiF's spiritual successor.
Will this update show up in PlayStore? Don't seem to have it yet
Play store usually takes about a day for them to approve it.
Nice. Thanks for the response 👍
Congrats to everyone involved on this awesome massive new release! 🤍
So far it is amazing, thank you for the hard work making such cool app. One thing, it tooks me quite some time to find the add account button and change instance, maybe i'm dumb 🤡
The one feature I desperately want that Relay For Reddit has was a "Clear Seen Posts" button. You tapped it and it removed every post that I'd already viewed. There was another option to auto mark posts as "seen" if you just scrolled past them. I'd love for Jerboa to add that.
Great update, thank you guys
Thanks for this! I just got into Lemmy/jerboa recently and was about to file some issues on github. But you fixed my them already :D
A great update!
Wish the image viewer would work in small card and list view. Is this a bug, or intentional?
Thanks to all the contributors!
I'm not sure but is there a bug of buttons not showing under comments in the inbox? I can't manage to open comments in their context
Nvm. I was dumb. Loving the update!
