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 already shaping up to be a great app this early on (it's reminding me a bit of earlier versions of Sync), but one little gripe I have so far with the newest version is forced app localisation.

I'm usually more annoyed than anything else by most apps that are suddenly being translated into my language (German), and I'd much rather keep the standard English version.

Is there any way you could make it so that we are able to choose which language the app is displayed in? I can't even force English in the android app settings.

Anyway, as I said, great app so far. Thanks for the hard work!

Right? I think they introduced it with android 13. However, in order for this to work, the app developer has to specifically enable this for their app, so it doesn't work with all apps, unfortunately. But it's a neat little feature nonetheless.
