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.

Is there any option to add scroll momentum and/or increase speed? Scrolling feels just a little "stuck" compared to other apps.

Mobile dev here: the problem seems to be low and inconsistent framerate, i.e. "jank", which messes up the scroll timings and results in weird scroll speed and momentum.

To my eye it looks like the app is doing too much work while generating each element in the list - posts, comments, etc. This is common during early development phases when you're trying to get thing in first, and then address the performance bottlenecks.
