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 keep trying new Lemmy apps. Some are very good, polished, and will work for most people. No disrespect to any of the third-party apps - I keep rotating between a few to see which I'll end up using most. Not knocking any of them. But I just keep coming back to Jerboa. Usually, the third-party apps will just be missing that little something. And on the rare occasion I feel like Jerboa needs a feature that another app already has implemented, bam, it's in the next update (such as DMing users in this update). Not here to suck on that Jerboa peepee, but just wanted to say thanks. With all the appreciation posts going around for the new hotness apps, there's still some of us that appreciate the classic and all the work put into it by the various contributors.

what i dislike about jerboa is that external links are opened in the browser instead of the app build in browser and my browser history gets spammed bc of that.

Yeah, that is one feature I'd like to see - links opened in-app. I'm sure there's a way to request features.

Settings > look and feel > custom tabs & private custom tabs

Does that help?

omg thats awesome, its such a weird wording Better would be: Open links in App

Well, I'll be. I didn't associate that phrasing with that, but I think it worked. Thanks!
