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 made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Your donations directly support full-time development of the project.

The number of commits increased a lot and the project counts 10 times as much contributors as before (5 from start till a couple of weeks ago, now 53).
Thanks to the devs for putting in the hard work!
The power of free and open source software at work. ๐
If at least Reddit had made their official app opensource.
Oh they did, but then they ditch it before launch and brought a 3rd party app
Great work guys. Jerboa is what kept me in the lemmiverse long enough to like it here.
For those that don't have it, the most recent version (hasn't officially been pushed yet) can be downloaded directly from their GitHub page, and fixes a TON of bugs, and just adds a lot of QoL features. Well worth the hassle imo!
Or use fdroid with izzy's repo. Link is in the github page as well.
Do you have a link please? I can only see 0.34 from the below:
That is the latest version. I don't think 0.34 is in the play store yet which is what he's probably referencing
I have 0.34 installed from the Play Store, been up for a while now
.34 is the latest release, so maybe they pushed the update already and I didn't notice!
I hope there will be a new release soon.
Looking forward to every new version!
It may not be a fully fledged app yet, but I think it works really well and I enjoy using it quite a bit.
Same, I love it. It's lightweight, the UI is super basic but it does what it needs to do. I actually prefer it to browsing online, which is unusual for me.
Yup, there was a pretty big change to support an upcoming lemmy release, and that was blocking changes. That has been merged, so now a bunch of pending changes have been merged.
There are still a bunch of pending changes, but I expect a new release to come soon ahead of the lemmy upgrade.
Just a heads up, Jerboa doesn't support old lemmy versions, so get your admins to upgrade ASAP when the new version releases otherwise things will stop working.
Is there an official source that states which versions are supported? I've searched but so far couldn't find anything.
No, since it's still in alpha, it's whatever the latest stable lemmy version is. Some of the devs want to maintain at least the older API, but the maintainer isn't interested (they're also working on lemmy and lemmy UI).
So right now that's lemmy 0.17.4, and the next alpha release (probably 0.0.35) that will change to 0.18. The next release will have an alert that warns you when the server is outdated, so I guess that's about as official as it's going to get.
Props to them. Amazing to see.
