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 appreciation (lemmy.ml)

With a lot of talk around new apps in development & coming on stream, something I've been happy to see, & commented on, as choice is always a good thing... I thought I'd just voice my appreciation for the Jerboa team, love this App, such nice Ui & UX, I find it very easy to use, all the view options, post layouts, especially the compact view are really easy on the eyes, & great to scroll through quickly. I know there are some errors from time to time, & the odd glitch here & there, but thats something to be expected, given that Jerboa is still in its Alpha form.. Thanks for all you do, each iteration makes the experience, better & better..๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

So I'm posting here from a browser. I want to use jerboa but I can't get it to do much of anything. It asks me to log in but gives me no option to do so. I can't find a manual for it or any help. I'm pretty sure I just don't know how to use the thing, but I know I'm not alone

In the hamburger menu on the left you should find an "Add account" button. IIRC it says the word "Anonymous" and you have to tap it to show the add account button.

Some things in Jerboa are a bit confusing for now. Once you get to know where things are it's pretty good though.

In the top left there is a button to open a sliding menu which comes from the left of the screen. The first entry in this menu will say "Anonymous". Click it. Now you can log in to a server of your choosing.

Currently you will need to create an account on some instance beforehand. You cannot register from the app. You can only log in.
