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.

The f-droid version, or even better, adding the izzyondroid repo to f-droid to get faster updates, is much preferred over the playstore version.

Also very nice keety.

I'm a bit new to FOSS. If I've downloaded the Jerboa app from f-droid after adding the izzyondroid repo, do I still get updates from f-droid or is there more to the process?

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

You're all good. The izzyondroid repo will likely get updates before anything else.

Cool, I'll add that repo! He's a butthead.....

Whats the reason for it being preferred to play store? Is it the actual apk different?

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Probably gets updated sooner/more often
