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.

Might just be me, or local to me (UK) but although I know 0.0.34 has been out on Fdroid for a while, I'm still not seeing it in the Play Store. Anyone know if it's going to be there soon?

I appreciate that I can sideload, hut I'm thinking more of people who only discover it there and who won't be getting the latest version.

I installed it via Droid-ify after the 2nd update, the play store is a bit too far behind considering the frequency of updates at the moment

TIL Droid-ify exists. How does it compare to F-Droid?

You can also enable a ton of repos that come with the app already such as "Izzy on F-Droid" and "The Guardian Project".

I don't see it as well. Play Store usually takes time to distribute apps across different regions

After a few days, I gave up and just installed from GitHub. I had to delete the old version, because I guess they have different certificates. But all I had to do was sign in again, and everything was back.

Yeah, Google requires that all apps has to be sign by them.

Google always takes several days up to a few weeks to verify new releases. That's nothing the devs can accelerate.

What they could do is open a beta channel on google play and give users the option to opt in there; updates pushed to beta go through unchecked and as such in near real time.
