I'm using Jerboa. I saw it on F-droid and that's actually how I found out about Lemmy

@tombruzzo @Gibsonhasafluffybutt
there are five apps on Google play 'FOR LEMMY'
Not sure I get why?
I thought interoperability was the draw for the fediverse, but MASTODON is unable to see the lemmy daily threads.
Is Jerboa any better or does it also have limitations?

All the apps for Lemmy are like clients to view it instead of having one app dedicated to Lemmy. Similar to how there were a bunch of other clients to view Reddit before the api changes.

Lemmy is also different to other fediverse apps in that you follow communities instead of users. I think that might cause some compatibility issues between the two
