jerboa is kil?
post
The notification doesn't say development is ending, just that the app will stop working on phones ruining Google's rootkit

Where are you getting that jerboa is ending support? There's nothing of the sort on github or on /c/jerboa. I've no doubt they're not gonna register a google developer account, but that"s really got nothing to do with development of the app.
The notification sent to users through the app itself.
I use the app and have received no such notification.
Another user posted an image of it if you're curious to see what you probably just clicked through.
No, I saw that one. It says nothing about jerboa ending support, just that you won't be able to run it on "certified" devices. I.E. I'll have to go through the "allow uncertified apps" nonsense, and install it from somewhere other than Google Play. Presumably it's available on F-Droid.
Sad, jerboa was my first experience with lemmy, but soon after switched to Voyager
Github page of jerboa says nothing about this
Jerboa the app had a pop-up not too long ago basically saying the end was near.
You mean that Google is restricting sideloading?
That has nothing to do with the Development of Jerboa. They can just as much develop an app according to Androids standard as they could before. The only change is that phones running googles rootkit won't be able to install it.
I use it daily and haven't seen a popup
I still use jerboa. Got the pop-up a few times. I will keep using it until the bitter end
I've been using Boost for r*ddit years ago and I'm still using Boost for Lemmy today. Shit's too good.
I have no clue what this is about
Jerboa is a lemmy client. “Browser users” are people who use lemmy trough a browser.
Come on over to boost or Voyager
Damn, I'm still going to use it until it stops working completely, but whats the next best alternative?
After trying a few others, I've stopped at interstellar.. I like it a lot. But I'm also going to try Summit.
I've been using Summit for the past six months or so and have enjoyed it.
I switched to Interstellar and it's pretty good
I like interstellar but it lags too much. I've mostly switched to summit
The inevitable fork that will be created.
I have Connect, and Voyager as a backup. I prefer Connect. It sounds like a few people here dig Summit; is it better than Connect, and if so, how?
Eternity is really nice
There are a few of us!!
Best UI by far imho (and a few smol features that benefit my daily use others don't offer or requires more clicks).
We didn't get the normal installing ("side-loading" & displeasing the oligarchy) pop-up but it still affects us.
For ppl who use the browser and do not like apps, try your instances ui sub domains (if they have any), on Lemmy world do we have multiple, the one I like is https://photon.lemmy.world/
otherwise: I am using the app Voyager if reading on my phone which has been good to me but it is pretty much a wrapped PWA app
What do the apps have that the browser doesn't?
Personally I just think it looks a lot better, and I prefer the infinite scroll. There are some things the browser version does better, like accessing the modlogs and such. I guess, metaphorically, those are your clothes "sorting piles" on the floor.
I like Boost because it seems to work really well in low connectivity areas.
idk what im gonna do without jerboa. fuck google
Nah, the google monopolists can fuck off right into their own dumpster fire shitholes. I won't use any app that requires their privacy infringements. Freedom is the only way.
