I usually don't get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I'm on their side.

Great work! Just joined Lemmy today, and downloaded Jerboa from F-Droid (currently replying to you using your app, no less). Checking my profile seems to be broken, but otherwise seems to be working great.

EDIT: Actually, seems to be working now. Maybe the profile breaks if it has no content?

One neat thing is that because Lemmy uses the ActivityPub protocol, it interfaces with other Fediverse things like Mastodon.

Speaking of which - hello from Mastodon!

Thanks, glad you like it!

If it does crash or something's amiss, make an issue on the issue tracker if you would: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues

Just as an FYI I started used Jerboa yesterday and it is working well now but it was very hard to find where to login at first. Most of the UI is disabled without logging in but I couldn't find out where to do that for like 10 minutes of searching the UI. I can see that being a pain point for new users.

My personal experience, I'm so used to Boost that even using the website on mobile is so similar that I don't even find an app necessary. It's so similar in every way; though I don't browse on PC so I can't say how it's different...
