I don’t use the Play store (don’t want a Google account) and prefer to stay away Github because Microsoft. Thanks.

Added: Thanks for the links! Unfortunately it looks like the app requires Android 8.0+ and my phone is still on Android 7. Is that inherent to Jetpack or some other part of the app technology? It would be good to not have to keep churning to the latest shiny.

    lemmy.ml is on 0.18 so jerboa 0.34 doesn’t work with it, only 0.35. Shouldn’t crash but well…

    Honestly I’d suggest using the browser, the web interface works perfectly well on mobile. If you use Firefox or any other browser that can install UserScripts, you can add some useful ones like https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-rewrite-links-to-home-instance and https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469196-gm-lemmy-newtab

      Thanks. Unfortunately I’m unable to login to either lemmy.world or lemmy.ml from a mobile browser (Fennic). The spinner thingie just spins forever. The only way I can post from mobile right now is with Jerboa.

      Yeah that makes sense about Jerboa 0.34 vs Lemmy 0.18. I guess I will wait for lemmy.world to update to 0.18, then update my Jerboa installation. Eventually I think I want to write my own client (it will have a web interface that looks like news.ycombinator.com) and maybe run my own Lemmy instance so my reading is not tracked.

      Also, Lemmy on a mobile browser uses a completely ridiculous amount of bandwidth. I haven’t checked how much it uses with Jerboa. But it is way more bloaty than the Reddit app I used to use was.
