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.

Hello,

First of all thank you so much to the developers of jerboa, the app is simple and responsive (coming from reddit it's a huge plus), and it just works!

One thing I am personally missing is the ability to easily discover communities. You can search by keyword and that works great, but I would rather have an exhaustive list of them all, especially as I am new here and I might be missing on some of them because I did not enter the right keywords.

The alternative i found is to search for each vowel 'a', 'e' etc.. because all communities names have at least a vowel, but it would be more practical to have an actual listing

What do you think?

I think if someone else in your instance has subscribed to a community on that other instance, then you should be able to search up your desired community in the app itself. Otherwise the url needs to be something like myinstance/c/newcommunity@otherinstance, that will let you browse to the community from within your instance and then you can subscribe.
