You already have like 3 apps. We have jerboa. Jerboa.
And Jerboa probably won't be updated for a while with the devs so busy working on Lemmy.
Is jerboa first party?
It's made by the main Lemmy developer, but it's his personal project and not the official Lemmy android client. He's been making some controversial commits on Jerboa in the past on the basis that it's his personal project, so he can do as he please (unlike Lemmy which is funded by a foundation).
Can you elaborate on the "controversial commits"? I'm on iOS so haven't been following anything on the Android side
https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa#support--donate support/donate for the repo says it's made by lemmy's developers.
It's a shame because they are now so many contributors, it's really picking up steam.
I'm refreshing GitHub multiple times a day for the new version haha.
Don't mind it honestly. People will probably use Sync or Artemis anyway
Actually, a new Android client called Thunder has entered Alpha. It's SEVERELY lacking in features as of now, though.
There is also summit and connect
could you give a link for connect?

Didn't work great when I tried it on Sunday. It would load my instance, but login was broken. Seems to be a bit better now. Weirdly my OP shows up in it, but your reply doesn't.
thank you.
I like Flutter based apps, so that makes me happy. I saw it a couple of days ago and while it is lacking in features, it does feel nice to use and looks much better than Jerboa IMO.
There is also Lemmur
Abandoned.
Jerb!
Please clap.
The memmy dev is going through the process of getting a test version approved for the playstore
