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.
Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Your donations directly support full-time development of the project.

The "Add link" option is greyed out there. Is there anything I can do within Jerboa to enable more instances to play nice? Or is it something that the instances themselves would need to implement in some way?
Thanks!
I'm currently working on making it so that fediverse links opened in Jerboa will open in Jerboa. After that I think we could see about how to support that "add more links" setting in the UI.
That would be wonderful! I don't really understand how to add new instances to Jerboa right now.
Right now to add an instance you have to log into an account @thatInstance.
That's too bad. I thought the point was that we could have one account and be able to visit other instances. Hopefully there will be another way to add instances through search or links.
You can visit communities in other instances by searching !community@instance.com but, to my knowledge you can't get the "local" experience of other servers yet.
You have to look for it as !"community"@"instance" it works pretty well on desktop, not sure if it's as good in Jerboa. No need to create accounts in other instances. If people from your instance have already interacted with such communities you'll be able to look it up using just some characters in the name. Hope this helps. Try using your instance website if Jerboa doesn't work.
That'd be fantastic. Thanks very much for all your work, it's really made joining Lemmy a much better experience!
