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.

I don't use the Play store (don't want a Google account) and prefer to stay away Github because Microsoft. Thanks.

Added: Thanks for the links! Unfortunately it looks like the app requires Android 8.0+ and my phone is still on Android 7. Is that inherent to Jetpack or some other part of the app technology? It would be good to not have to keep churning to the latest shiny.

Numbers reported by Google as of May 30 2023... 92.4% have 8.0 or later. 3% have Android 7, 4% have Android 5 and 6, 0.5% still run less than 5.0.

That is pretty frightening. Lots of perfectly good phones must have gone in the trash. Maybe I will look for a used Pixel 4A.
