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.

Jerboa is not trustable with these bugs, seems like any PR gets merged (sh.itjust.works)

If you downvote any post in jerboa 0.0.35 you actually upvote it. Seems like anything gets merged? If this goes on like this, there could be a lot of trouble

Edit: Thanks to quick reaction seems like a simple an quick fix. I hope that things will be fine in the future

I haven't looked through the Jerboa codebase very closely yet (I downloaded it, but that's about as far as I have got so far), but it sounds like they either need more code coverage for their unit tests or they need to improve the quality of the unit tests. Good unit tests should catch a lot of bugs introduced by PRs. There is no QA team to do regression testing for each release, and the main developers can't be expected to run manual testing for every PR. The developer of the PR should be doing that, but clearly they are not.
