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.

Wikipedia has it as: /dʒɜː(ɹ)ˈbəʊ.ə/

Yours is missung the vowel after the j.

Hopefully just like the name of the character in The Howling 3: The Marsupials, or I’ve been getting it wrong this whole time.
