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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Just downloaded earlier today after seeing the app mentioned in a comment - thanks for your work!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm looking forward to using the app! It's a bit too alpha for me to consistently use atm but I'll keep checking in. Thanks for making such an awesome project!

Is there any way to change instance on Jerboa?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hamburger in the upper left > click the username drop-down (might say anonymous if you're not signed in) > Add Account

Just did that to add Beehaw.

I can't seem to login with Jerboa but I can with Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What exactly happens when you try to login?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't even get the login prompt to show up. It just says "login first"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Gonna copy from a previous comment I posted

It's not obvious where you are supposed to login; I struggled to find it at first too. Open your hamburger menu on the left, and at the top you should see a little arrow pointing down. Click it, and a new button should appear called "Add Account", and click it.

There, you can select what Lemmy instance you want to login with, then put your E-mail and password.

Yep thank you. I replied and then I actually found it. I edited my post and it seems I'm not the only one who thinks it's not really intuitive :) App's great though!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Top left, click anonymous then the add account and login option pops up, you need to make the account on the instance first though it's webpage on a browser

Hi, for some reason after I log in Jerboa seems to forget who I am and asks me to login again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

On my iOS device in Mlem. Can’t find any way to save. Commenting to access on my Android device later lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can just click save comment, it'll show up in jerboa.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I wasn't finding the option to save within Mlem lol. Regardless, I'm back on the Android device and updated to the github release

Anybody else experiencing lag on this app?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It might be the server you're using. For example, lemmy.ml has been completely down for me. Switching to another account on different server made the app work instantly 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh, so if lemmy.ml is slow then that affects the app as well?

However, it's slight stuttering when scrolling that's affect my app, like it's not smooth. I'm not too sure if that has anything to do with lemmy.ml. Apart from the stutters, Jerboa is decent for where it's at.

Ah, I see what you mean! I thought that the content was not being retrieved quickly. Might be something wrong in the app, as phil just mentioned. For me, it works well on EMUI 12.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No that's very likely not the server, I'm experiencing it too. Maybe I'll check out, if I can help optimize it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still haven't figured out how to log in...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I have also been looking for a while. You have to open the sandwich menu in the upper left corner. Then there is a dropdown at the top and when you open that, you can click on "Add account".
