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.

Hey y'all. Since Lemmy 0.18 has been out and sort of breaks Jerboa a bit, I will show off the versions I've cobbled together to patch it.

I started this repo to allow older versions of Android to run it (5.0 and up). There's two release version that may be of interest.

  • v35 takes the latest release from dessalines and made it compatible for older devices. Can only login to Lemmy 0.18 servers.
  • v34-plus hotfix1 where I patched the crash on startup issue and allow anonymous logins on other servers by leaving the username empty. Can only login to Lemmy 0.17.x servers and below.

I'm hoping these will be helpful for anyone facing issues.

I've no plans to do that, people will complain to the devs if a new feature breaks 5.0-7.0 support, I don't want that. And I'm not sure if they want to continue development on their older versions of the app, but I might get in touch about that.
