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.

Hi everyone. Phenomenal job with the app, it's really looking like it could replace reddit with no trouble.

I'm getting timeout issues though, every time I upvote something. I'm sure it's nothing but I wanted to give you the heads-up.

One more suggestion is to make it easier to find communities on here! Then it'll be perfect.

Thanks again :)

I wish there were a way to transfer/propagate a single identity across multiple instances. I would love to use a less crowded instance, but I don't want to keep creating new accounts.

Maybe it will come in the future. But I also think we should not try and keep the same identity across servers. Lemmy is made to be pseudo anonymous, and you should not use your real name on any instance.

It may go against habit though, since the Internet today encourages people to log in everywhere using the same identity. Because then all your behavior can be monitored and data can be extracted that is extreamly profitable.

Fair enough.

Although does this create a separate problem where every instance you sign up to has your email address? Or is email option in most instances?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Email is optional on most instance signups i believe. It can be useful if you forget your password however. But if you use a password manager, that will never happen anyway.

It can also be useful if you want to get notified when your account is approved. But most instances will approve your account of course, the message you fill in is just to filter out the bots.

Another option is to use an email that is temporarily set up for that purpose only. In Fastmail, you have Masked Email so you can create emails for specific sites, such as different Lemmy instances or anything else. Im sure other email providers have something similar.
