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.

Suggestion: Placeholder icon for communities with no icon (lemmy.ml)

Right now, under the "Subscriptions" section in the sidebar, communities with no icon are moved a bit to the left relative of communities with icons. This makes it seem like the other communities are a category of the one with no icon. Eg. In image below, Music Gear seems like it's part of a category "Arduino".

I suggest a placeholder image for the communities with no icons. Either that, or move them in line with the communities with icons while leaving the icon blank.

Edit: love the new update btw

Could use the jerboa app icon in the same way reddit uses it's own icon

Thought of that but that could cause confusion for people trying to find the jerboa community. On reddit, nobody really goes on the reddit subreddit

After I typed that and hit enter it dawned on me that could be an issue, the Lemmy icon might work, or just something generic to keep the UI tidy

Good idea!
