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.

Hey everyone. If I'm spamming my repo too much let me know.

Since v37 came out, development is going at whirlwind pace, and there are still frequent complaints about crashing/no logins for 0.17.x, I decided to post again, but this time bearing good news.

I finally made a Jerboa version where you can log into both 0.17.x and 0.18 accounts.

Unlike the main repo my release is also compatible with phones running Android 5.0.

Check it out and let me know if this is helpful for you. I'm trying to get this merged in as PR#908 but Woodpecker is giving me a hard time.

I'm not seeing any issues using the app with a 0.17.x other than the pop-up at the start, are things not working correctly for me? Breaking backwards compatibility isn't great, but at least we are moving forward it's progress. As a developer myself I'm happy with a few teething issues and to be honest I'm surprised there aren't more than I have seen, it really speaks volumes to those that have committed to the project!

You simply can't login to a 0.17.x server.

Can't login. I've been using the Liftoff app but would like to actually see how Jerboa has been working after all the updates.
