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.

It should be noted somewhere on the login screen, maybe with an asterisk, that beehaw.org is not fully federated, restricted, however it needs to be termed.

Since account creation does not happen in the app, but requires visiting the instance's home page, where registration requirements, federation status and other peculiarities are plainly visible, I don't think this belongs in the app.

Yeah. I feel like a lot of instances must have at least one other instance blocked. A tech focused instance for example might not want to federate with a political alt right instance. An asterisk wouldn't mean much

No one is ever "fully federated". Even Lemmy.world most likely blocks some spam/nafarious instances. It would be tough to define what fully federated would mean.

I think the better approach would be a message telling you when you're trying to engage with an instance that isn't federated to you.

Scroll down to the full list. The BI column is how many other instances that instance is blocking. BB is how many instances that instance is blocked by.

Beehaw is currently blocking 387 other instances. Lemmy.world is blocking 1 tiny instance for some reason. Beehaw is blocked by none. Lemmy.world is blocked by 2.

You can see a list of instances that your instance is federated with and blocks at /instances. For example lemmy.world only blocks one instance https://lemmy.world/instances

How is Beehaw not fully federated?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They're defederating with instances left and right. And pushing for mod tools for the communities hosted on the instance but for users from other instances. They seem more interested in sculpting a walled garden with the illusion of agreeableness.

Beehaw defederated with lemmy.ml?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

With lemmy.world and others

~~Yeah, and they seem to no longer be accepting new registrations. For the past two days their count has been at 36,185.~~

POST-CAFFEINATED EDIT: that's lemmy.ml that seems to be locked, beehaw gained about 1,000 (lemmy.world added more than 7,000 during the same time.)

Current counts from: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

In what way is it not fully federated?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Read their modlog & Instance page. They are more about obliteration rather than federation.
