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.

I would appreciate a option to unblur all images (its kinda annoying sometimes)

A nsfw switch would be useful (like show/hide nsfw like in Boost for Reddit for example)

Customizable UI would be cool (ad/remove Buttons from the bottom bar and Posts)

Open pictures in app (and a download button)

Ideas for lemmy in general

User and Post Flairs

Custom feeds

Polls maybe?

Anyway, for such a small app its alright working great and looks nice. (ᗒᴗᗕ)

A few more that I've been thinking about:

If you do implement a NSFW toggle, make the NSFW and NSFL toggles separate. One of my big issues with reddit is you can't enable porn without also enabling the kind of stuff that makes you want to quit reddit.

A way to exit from a post, the same as the back button, by swiping right. Like how infinity does it.

A button to suggest features or bugs to either the instance or devs.

More documentation for various things. In particular I'm curious if it's possible to run an instance without opening any ports on your router? Maybe using swag or tailscale-funnel?

NSFW and NSFL are features that Lemmy would have to implement first not Jerboa

That's the smartest thing that anyone has ever said.

I agree with all your points. That's the one that spoke to me the most.

Does lemmy even have a specific NSFL tag? The whole separating out NSFL and NSFW content been talked about on reddit since the beginning of the site. But I don't think any site would do so, because that acknowledges that NSFL stuff is on the site and that could be legally messy.

While I understand how it could cause issues if lemme were on the stock market or were a corporate entity, that's not the case. Even if such things applied, which laws apply? The laws of the country the instance is hosted in? Why would the devs be affected by that? And I'm fairly sure most laws don't regulate nsfl content besides age filters, and they do so way less strictly than NSFW stuff too.

You don't have to be public for issues like that to be a problem. Yeah maybe I was wrong to say "legally" specifically (but yes you probably don't want to host that kind of instance in a country/state were that is illegal). The last thing lemmy needs to do is get bad publicity on the major outlets or even get on the bad side of telecoms and get denied access like liveleak.

The instances themselves would be liable, so the hosters. If they sit in a country with basically no rules it can be here, also lemmy isn't just one Domain so super hard to block, and then the instances can just rename themselves...
