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.

Hi everyone. Phenomenal job with the app, it's really looking like it could replace reddit with no trouble.

I'm getting timeout issues though, every time I upvote something. I'm sure it's nothing but I wanted to give you the heads-up.

One more suggestion is to make it easier to find communities on here! Then it'll be perfect.

Thanks again :)

Timeouts might be from the server struggling since the reddit blackout is bringing in a lot of users at the same time right now. I'd wait a few days and see if the issue disappears or maybe a second account on a lesser known instance might help.

I’ve noticed (although on the .ml instance) that even whenever GET requests go through fine (albeit a bit slow) POST requests don’t actually return a response. After 60 seconds they will timeout, even if the operation actually does complete successfully. This happens mainly on voting and making comments from what I see.

I think its best to just use the lemmy web instance interface to subscribe to communities on all kinds of instances, and then they just show up in Jerboa. :)

Timeouts may be because you are using an overloaded instance like lemmy.ml when you should spread out on other instances. :)

At least for me, I noticed subs worked but wouldn't show up in the list UNTIL I restarted the app.

I'd imaging it is a massive influx of users periodically overloading it.

It is also happening to me, both on the app and the Web UI

I'm having this same issue, but it's always on the app and never on the browser.
