About this app
Jerboa is a app for Lemmy, a federated reddit alternative. Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever.
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.

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 app for Lemmy instances. Only a few QoL quirks that I'd like to see implemented (please add a 'hide read' button so I can hide posts as I scroll). But overall it's good at what it does, nice UI, great theme. I wish clicking on the "home" button didn't take you to the top of the feed again and lose your position. It desperately needs a search function though. Also, would be nice if if supported GIFs in comments (they appear as static images)

Interested to try the app, but I cannot get anything to load. I am met with this error: "Value Error of type Java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject". I have a Galaxy S10+ with the most recent OS.------------Okay, it seems like the server was just overloaded? I like the interface a lot. Similar to Reddit Sync. As far as I can tell, there is no way to create an account through the app, only login. Still, excited to give it a try.
