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.

Idk if it's just me, but I don't see anything about it being down. It seems quite unstable for me

Just to name a few things:

  • doesn't keep me logged in
  • home page view isn't loading (default set to top week subscribed) but All loads. In general, a lot of content isn't loading, or updated, for example there's some posts I created in reddit archive community but the posts aren't showing up in my posts

I do have the most recent version. I'm on an OP8T using Nameless13 if it matters. I'm also on data but it's same on wifi

I end up just browsing Lemmy via browser instead. Anyone experience stability issues like this or is it just normal as an app is being developed?

Edit:it almost seems like it's not even just this app. Wefwef, thunder, and liftoff are having trouble loading content. Perhaps it's an issue with Lemmy.world? But the web version of Lemmy loads fine so maybe it's whatever api has to load into apps? Either way, I have no idea where to go from here :( Guidance or any info would be so appreciated

Lemmy.world is having some issues, but at the same time, Jeroba has felt like a fine early app to a platform going through extremely rapid growing pains. I think friendly feedback is helpful as the platform itself grows and the apps react to platform changes. If I'm correct, Jeroba is dev'd by the same people as Lemmy itself, so it makes sense that it's not got full focus right now, but in a lot of ways is the primary "blessed" client to test new lemmy features with.

Very fair and reasonable points. That's interesting to know about the dev, I had no idea! It's gotta be a shit load of work. I look forward to seeing where it goes from here

It's 2 devs actually, but still, a lot of workload for just 2 guys... sure, they have help with the sudden influx of users, but that doesn't change the fact that they have to review PRs before they're submitted to main/master.
