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.

Did you notice that on Lemmy you're not able to use any alternative apps either?

... I'll see myself out now.

There are no alternative apps yet. You are witnessing ground floor construction work. So, pick up a hammer and help out

There are at least two alternatives already: lemmur and jerboa. In addition the federation probably makes it practically impossible to block other apps and web frontends be etc. And you can run and use an old web front to your heart's content.

I think lemur is abandoned, but yeah

[–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmur was last updated 9 months ago

But also, with the fediverse structure, there is no way to lock out alternative apps. Functionally, all apps are third party.

If the official Reddit App was like Jerboa, I would use it.

No clutter, no recommended posts, no ads. That's all I want

You could make a Lemmy app if you want. Jerboa seems to be what most people are using but Lemmur was available in the past and stopped development partially due to a lack of interest.

Lemmy is still small compared to Reddit

[–] Magrid@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

you aren't able to use alternative app because there is no alternative app apart from jarboa on Android

[–] Tywele@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah but that's because it's still very early

I know this is a joke but you also have the option of making a PWA using native alpha
