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.

RIF had pride of place on the home screen, too.

Thanks for all the hard work on this app. I'm enjoying it a lot already.

Same. This is actually more similar to RIF than I was expecting and I'm having fun with a smaller community.

Jerboa reminds me of RIF, which I've used for many years. But I think important software should be open source, so this is a good improvement. Even if RIF were to switch to Lemmy, I'd stay with Jerboa for this reason.

Good idea. Just did that with Boost. :)

Same. RIP boost, you will be missed. Hope the reddit app developers switch to the Fediverse, that would be sick. o7

I'll leave mine there for the time being, to remind me of the good times and why I shouldn't go back to reddit.

Thank you for mentioning Jerboa; installed and quite happy with it so far.

There are still a few things here and there to remind you it's an alpha, but it's already surprisingly polished and functional. This Community looks like a really good resource too.

It's so fast. I just love the responsiveness of it.

All good things must come to an end, even if it is sad

rif my most used app by far ever. Jerboa feels very similar so the transition has been easy

Good idea. Just did that with Boost.

[–] gonzo0815 1 points 2 years ago

Did that right now :)

I just did the same with Boost. I've been part time both here and on Reddit, nowi it's time to start really leaning into Lemmy.
