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 definitely prefer the app because it has a critical feature for me: tap to collapse

I read a lot of the comments and being able to quickly collapse them is absolutely essential. There's no way I'm able to hit that tiny little box in the webgui on mobile.

I've signed up to support the dev because honestly, for an alpha this is pretty good. It seems to get timeout errors all the time even when the vote goes through, and you're right it's annoying that it can't load Lemmy links internally, but it's a great start and I hope it continues.

Although it's still missing the button to go to the next top level comment

That was one of my favourite boost features. And you could use your volume button to jump.

It was also a thing in the stock app. Actually, the fact that it was so fucking buggy was one of the things that made me go to infinity

I did not know that. Used boost for so long that I forgot what the official app was like

Yeah, except the volume button part, and only to go down
