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.

Jerboa is not trustable with these bugs, seems like any PR gets merged (sh.itjust.works)

If you downvote any post in jerboa 0.0.35 you actually upvote it. Seems like anything gets merged? If this goes on like this, there could be a lot of trouble

A developer of an open source application being attacked my an entitled user. A story as old as time, yet very sad to see over and over again.

Dear user, you are getting something for free. Open source even. If you don't like how it works, fork it and develop your own, or do your part in helping out debug and investigate. Or just stop using it.

This is not a big corporation with dozens or hundreds of devs working on an app that you pay for with ads or premium subscriptions. This is a free app, developed by volunteers. Please be nice. You can complain, but be civil about it.

I'm sorry if this seems like an attack, the whole point I'm trying to make is that jerboa might not be as ready as we think for being a lemmy client. Open source projects are extremely hard, an mostly never rewarding, and I totally understand that. I hope that those who have the skill and time will make it better, but right now it can contain flaws that make basic features unusable, and who knows what actually runs in the background
