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.

I don't understand; I can access Kbin magazines from Jerboa. What am I missing?

The discussion is about API access to KBin from an app, which is totally different from federation between instances and services.

Because KBin had more features than just what's available with federation because it's a separate codebase than Lemmy. I'm starting to get it now, thanks for the help!

You can't access the microblogging/Mastodon side of Kbin from Lemmy/Jerboa

Thank you, starting to get it now!

KBin federates with Lemmy nicely. Meaning you can, while logged in to a Lemmy instance, subscribe to a KBin magazine. However, you cannot log in to a KBin instance directly

Hmm. Which could give me access to other Kbin features, like the microblogging the other commenter mentioned to me?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right. As of now there's no app that allows the full KBin experience on android. I'd expect it to come in the future, but first KBin needs some API work

Got it! Thanks for explaining; that was really helpful.
