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.

The f-droid version, or even better, adding the izzyondroid repo to f-droid to get faster updates, is much preferred over the playstore version.

Also very nice keety.

Cool, I'll add that repo! He's a butthead.....

Why exactly is the izzyondroid repo preferred?

[–] sarsaparilyptus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

F-Droid can sometimes take forever and a day to approve new versions

I'm a bit new to FOSS. If I've downloaded the Jerboa app from f-droid after adding the izzyondroid repo, do I still get updates from f-droid or is there more to the process?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

You're all good. The izzyondroid repo will likely get updates before anything else.

Whats the reason for it being preferred to play store? Is it the actual apk different?

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Probably gets updated sooner/more often
