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.

Since you are asking, here's my primary 2 complaints about the UI so far that so far seem unaddressed:

  • not having placeholders for community icons and user avatars is jarring. This pushes the text around which makes each card slightly missaligned with the last depending on if there are icons/avatars. This gets tiring to read. It doesn't need to be fancy. It could be a black box, or even just padding.
  • in the same vein, it's hard to see what post/comment link is in what instance. This is especially important because different moderation rules apply to different instances. Also, celebrate the diversity of federation!

I was thinking about the placeholder icon thing for a while, it's a big pet peeve of mine too but I'm not sure what to put instead.

We talking about for users or communities? I think a Lemmy mouse or a jerboa would do the trick for now

How about each community having its own theming?
