Jerboa for Lemmy v0.0.84-gplay
DessalinesAbout this app
Developer Description
An app for Lemmy, a federated reddit alternative.
Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.

It had some issues when I first started using it in June '23, but many of those seem pretty ironed out now. This is honestly a fantastic Lemmy app. It even has an AMOLED black mode. The layout is familiar and easy to use. It doesn't do things as fancy as some of the other apps, but what it does, it does well.
"The account is being verified" sometimes lasts for 2 days
Free and open source, always a plus. No ads. Somewhat customizable, but could be better. The killer feature of this app is that you can see both the upvotes and downvotes separately rather than being combined. Edit 2/2024: They partially took away that feature. Runs only okay. But this is enou-- hold up, why was I giving this app 5*? It's quite unreliable. The website works more often, because this app fails when DDG App Tracking protection fails. Plus, it's hard to log into your account.
Good until instances update to .19.. update the app already please! You say it's already fixed why haven't you published it yet?
Changing to one star. After my complaint that the last update made it difficult to see any downvotes there was ANOTHER update that made it virtually impossible. I don't know why Jerboa is trying to be more like Reddit now, since the whole reason most of us use it is because Reddit is terrible now... I'll move this to 5 stars when they bring back the ability to see downvotes again. Otherwise I may be to look elsewhere and switch apps
