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.

Not sure about the technicalities of it. Are the protocols similar enough for this?

Edit: not sure why this was double posted. I deleted the other one.

No, the whole idea of the federated system is that you log in and use your home instance.

This spreads the load out since user interaction is the bulk of the system load.

If user identity was federated (like an OpenID type situation) then users would just log into whatever the current fastest instance was.

That being said it would be nice to “link” accounts between various instances (and/or other federated services like kbin and Mastodon), if only to give users a way to validate that multiple accounts belonged to the same person/org (if they wanted). Right now you can just post it in your “About” section of your profile but that doesn’t really stop someone from lying about it, etc.

I think the question is about login to the kbin instance through the jerboa app, we're in the jerboa community after all. In this case it's theoretically possible to implement.

Oh, I’m using Memmy and I didn’t notice lol. I guess that’s points off for Memmy 🤪

Does Jerboa support both lemmy and kbin?

One can't login to kbin server but can see posts from kbin in the feed, subscribe to kbin magazines and communicate with kbin users.
