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 is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Your donations directly support full-time development of the project.

I have 2 accounts, one for general sfw use where I want the nsfw content to look blurry and the other for some communities sharing nsfw content, which I'd like to not look blurry. I'd also like to have different colors for the secondary account, but that's not my main "concern".
Thanks for your great work with Lemmy and the Jerboa app.
Maybe you can open an issue on GitHub?
I don't have an account and don't know how to do it.
Sign up for a GitHub account.
Head to the GitHub page for the app: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa
Click issues
Then make a new post about this feature you would like. You will probably be able to tag it as a feature request when you make the post too.
If someone with the capabilities of implementing what you want has the time they might take up the task.
Instant crash for me. Pixel 6
Could you make an issue for the crash with the logs?
If you don't know how to make an issue:

Click issues
Then make a new post describing your issue, include logs if you can.
Same on Xperia 5 II on Android 12.
Same for me with Pixel 7pro
Same with me. Xiaomi M11X
It's good to see the rapid development. Lemmy is very quickly developing a thriving ecosystem.
Let's goooo
Why am I always so early to these releases on accident?? Lol
Crashes for me if I'm on anything earlier than 0.18
This is nothing new: Jerboa doesn't support instances < 0.18.
Can anybody confirm why? The bigger instances are all on 0.17.4 still, aren't they?
The Lemmy API gives back log in info slightly different so the app couldn't handle it.
Lemmy 0.18 introduced API breaking changes namely because it switched from WebSocket to HTTP as transfer protocol. They also dropped captcha support in 0.18 which is the reason why lemmy.world and other bigger instances are waiting for 0.18.1 to re-introduce captcha support.
ah now it makes sense. Thats whay I had to uninstall jerboa because the logged in instance did not support 0.18
It is new. 0.0.36 worked find on 0.17.4. There was just the update message. Now the app just crashes on start.
This is more than weird. Jerboa dropped support for instances < 0.18 a few releases ago. I think 0.0.34-alpha was the last version that supported 0.17.4.
It worked if you were still logged in.
Yes you're right but this wasn't exactly intended.
Same, just tried it.
Sweet! Installing now, ty!
Does anybody know, why the f-droid releases are delayed so much? Still on .35 here. Even play store seems to have .37
I think it's because they build each app from source to ensure what you see on github is what you get. And I think it just takes a while to process with so many apps on fdroid getting updates.
Fdroid takes a few days generally because they build everything themselves.
Thanks ray and hschen for the explanation, makes sense!
It is just awesome!
Ugh, on Android (Samsung s22) can't even log in... Login form spins a bit but does nothing, user name shows on top left, subscribed communities are fetched but nothing else works (subscribed feed empty, inbox says need to login, etc. ..), restarting resets back to anonymous.
Are you trying to log in to an instance that hasn't updated to Lemmy v0.18 yet (like most of them)? Versions of Jerboa greater than 0.0.34 only support the newer Lemmy version.
Nope, Lemmy.ml
I ran into that error too, but I have no clue what causes it... I'm working on a tweaked Jerboa myself to try to mitigate the issues that annoy me the most
Would you consider submitting pull requests back to the main project to fix them for everyone?
Strange responses from server really seem to confuse jerboa. If there's high load, for example. Looking like only anonymous account is active seems to be a common result.
Yes, that's a solid option, especially since it works fine with another user I created on a different instance. I'll let it go for now and try tomorrow and see. Thanks!
I'm on an S22+ with no issues. I did uninstall to install the update though 🤔
Try using connect for lemmy. My experience of lemmy has increased multiple times since switching.
Strange - I created a new user on a different instance (sh.itjust.works) and that's working just fine, meaning it's something related to this specific user 🤔
Keeps crashing app failed to open
Uninstall and install back again.
I understand it. Server problems. Im on lemmy.world and it 17.4
Yeah now the app is starting but I can't login. Hopefully the issues get fixed soon so that @Ruud can upgarde the server.
This update unfortunately broke jerboa for my phone. Was at least still able to use it but now it consistently crashes after a couple of seconds.
Give liftoff a try, I tired it after the crashing and I like it
Whoa, thanks. This is the best app for me right now. I'm really happy.
This time it crashes immediatly at startup. I'm on a Fairphone 3 with LineageOS.
Edit: You have to uninstall and reinstall the app to prevent this crash at startup.
