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.

The perfect social media android experience, using Jerboa for ad free, federated, social media and Newpipe for ad free YouTube with a beautiful userface.

Install newpipe with f-droid.

Remember to go into Apps and click on Newpipe and change default urls so Android opens all the YouTube urls with Newpipe.

After that, it's heaven on mobile.

My pet peeve is when people take time during their video to put in an ad that is part of the video itself, so it's not skippable like traditional Youtube ads. You have to use the seeker to fast forward past the ad.

I have YT premium (we get it with our cell phone plan), so I'm even paying these people for the videos, yet am still being served ads. I wish YouTube would institute a policy against it.

There is a fork of NewPipe which supports sponsorblock. That clips out the segments your talking about. Mainline NewPipe won't support that as an ethical stance so only in the fork.

YT ReVanced has Sponsorblock built in, it can skip those ads for you. It is community-run though, somebody has to have watched it first to flag that segment.

That said, I usually let those run to support the channel. The creators aren't making much from standard ads, but I'll watch the ones they actually get paid for.

Wow, that's an incredible feature.

As an aside, do you know if they actually get paid more if you watch those types of ads? How do they know that you watched it?

There is one channel in particular that I watch, and I just get tired of hearing about Nord VPN on every single video. I've heard the pitch. I don't need a VPN.
