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.

Does anyone else find Jerboa to be incredibly energy efficient? (lemmy.ml)

I've tried multiple Reddit apps in the past, from the official one to Boost to RiF, yet all of them used way more battery charge for the same amount of browsing I do on Jerboa.

This is great! Well done devs!

In the age of 500 mb apps, a 18 mb one is a breath of fresh air.

I'm also using barely any data.

And the accessibility. More things need screen reader labelsas i am stuck using the web ui and would rather use the app

I do find the light and simple nature of this app to be highly appealing. Just give me some comments sorting options and fix the bugs with images and then I'd say this app is perfect

And let me change the size of the fonts! For some reason the comments aren't changed by the settings.

Also, changing fonts.

Related, having no trackers show up in TrackerControl for it is also very satisfying.

I haven't tried it, I'm OK with using the browser. :)

It's extremely efficient, particularly on iOS
