And Jerboa probably won't be updated for a while with the devs so busy working on Lemmy.

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
