A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

there is also Jerboa on Android for folks who are on Boost, which is also going to inevitably disappear lol
I remember seeing somebody mention a Reddit-like wrapper for the Lemmy API so that existing Reddit clients can be interoperable with Lemmy without changing any code. Does anyone have more information about this project? It would be great if we could use open-source clients like Infinity (what I use for Reddit on Android) with Lemmy without rewriting them.
While I appreciate the effort that can go into building a good app... Jerboa sucks. Going from something like RiF to Jerboa is like having some teeth pulled... and being aware of all the little gaps where your teeth used to be.
I hope this changes in the future, in the meantime, I'm planning to write my own, in the middle of everything else I'm doing.
Ye Jerboa could be better, but like with Mastodon I expect some improvements to arrive quickly and for new apps to appear as well in the near future. Such is open source development lol
Yeah I'm a Boost user and I'm using Jerboa. It's not such a shock going from Reddit to here thanks to Jerboa.
