Jerboa

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.

Devs themselves said on github that jerboa is more a side project with how focused they are on lemmy itself

Yep, it's going steadily downhill. New bugs introduced, old ones unfixed.

I've moved to Liftoff for now, which is nice. As soon as Sync is available, I'll be there.

After the issues with 0.17 server support last week I've been swapping between Liftoff, Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. But Liftoff is the one I keep coming back too. I've seen people touting wefwef which is a progressive web app, but the fonts are tiny for my old eyes and I can't see anyway to adjust it.

on wefwef there is an icon for configurations where you can change font size (Settings -> appearance)

You're welcome!

I can recommend, for Android:

Connect

Liftoff

Thunder

I'm using all 3, plus Jerboa, as they are all fantastic apps. At some point I'll just stick with one, but it's exciting following the development of these apps. Use Obtainium to keep them up to date (although Connect is Google Play only).

I've had trouble logging in on liftoff, it doesn't recognize any of the instances I have accounts on.

[–] TiresomeOuting@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I had to use my email rather than username, though I'm aware not all instances require one.

[–] mustyOrange 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, liftoff is smooth. I think I sticking with it for awhile

[–] guero 2 points 1 year ago

so far i have tried jerboa, connect, and liftoff. Jerboa is a hot mess of compatibility issues but the interface is nice. Connect is stable but tricky to navigate and know what community you are in... Liftoff is just right so far!

I'm using Jerboa to submit this comment. Hopefully it's working for you now? Could be a phone-specific issue I suppose.

[–] Player2alpha@mastodon.social 6 points 1 year ago

@chloetse @jerboa I'm giving thunder and liftoff a try. Both seem much nicer right away

[–] GiantBasil 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's happening to me to, Jerboa just gave up on me, I tried clearing the cache, uninstalling... nothing. My boy, just crashes on launch.

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

I found that clearing cache and data fixed it for me but ymmv
