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.

Lemmy.world banning piracy made me realize it's something a client can solve (sh.itjust.works)

If I was logged into several instances at once in the client and seeing the composite feed and then could choose instance when replying or posting (with some set default, like from: field in e-mail clients) lemmy.world could ban piracy all it wants and it'd still be in my feed without me having to leave it or change instances.

This is why you don't join the popular instance. Eventually the shitbirds ruin it.

Yup, I joined the smallest of the bigger communities and it has worked out pretty well. I'll probably need to leave eventually once it gets too big, but for now it works well.

What does that even mean

The most mediumest.

When I joined, there were about three major instances, and the rest were quite a bit smaller (I.e. <50 users). So I picked the smallest of the big instances (I think it had 500 or so users).

Basically, I wanted more than 100 or so users to have a better chance of the admin being active enough to respond to issues, but I didn't want to be with one of the top instances to avoid outages and whatnot.

Okay fair enough, I suppose that's not so clear cut nowadays

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looking at the numbers now, I'd probably go with tchncs, lemmy.ca, or programming.dev, based largely on userbase, hosting location, and a quick look at the front page. But for now, sh.itjust.works has been pretty reliable, so I haven't felt the need to switch.

I just chose feddit.nl because it's the only one in my country, has been rock solid though

Awesome. :)

I'm in the US, and I'd prefer to not have one based here due to stupid local laws. sh.itjust.works is based in Canada, so that works well enough for me.

Looking through the top instances, I'm glad to see a lot more diversity in instance locations with lots of users. It used to mostly be US, CA, and Germany (and maybe UK?), but now there's a lot more.

I see a lot of french stuff on all aswell, so probably a lot of french people
