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.

Is there very little content on Lemmy or is the sorting algorithm used by either Lemmy or Jerboa not working super great? (self.jerboa)

When sorting by all instances > all communities > hot, I get as the top post a 20 votes, 1 comment post. Just 5 or so posts below, a 5 votes and 0 comments post.

If I sort by active instead, I see two day old posts.

Should I be sorting differently?

EDIT: Nevermind, I wasn't using my brain. All good on any instance using lemmy 0.18. Just need to wait for Jerboa to update. I was about to delete the post, but maybe other people were thinking the same, so I'll keep it so they can read this. Just wait for Jerboa to update, next version should be much better in this regard.

Somehow f-droid is saying that .33 is the latest version and it doesn't let me update. If I download an apk it also doesn't let me as it conflicts with another install...

F-droid is pretty slow in picking up versions, how f-droid works by default is that you register a source code repository with it and then f-droid goes ahead and checks the source code and builds and checks the application themselves to put in their repository. All this takes about 2-4 days usually.

However, for me at least, 0.34 is currently the latest one on the official f-droid repository, maybe there's some other issue with your fdroid.

But anyway, if you want faster updates, you have to use another app repository within fdroid instead of the official one, IzzyOnDroid's is a trusted one. It doesn't build the apps, but simply goes to the repos and looks for already built APKs and serves those, which is less secure (as it doesn't vet the built apps) and thus faster.
