Using Jerboa to access lemmy, which so far (for an alpha) seems okIt’s pretty good hey? I’ve done some Android dev before so spent the weekend making some fixes and improvements for it, and lots of others are doing the same. I figured the better it is to use, the more likely it is that people will hang around after the Reddit implosion. With its current velocity I expect it’ll be damn near amazing in a month or so!
It’s ok! early days though.
Crashed at least once on me, some gui difficulties (“how do you login” for example was extremely difficult, while most buttons initially don’t work saying you must be logged in, and the login form is hidden in an odd place then an odd place within the odd place)
May we live in interesting times!
Edit: that being said, Far better than reddit Web site on mobile which I used to use so I’m happy :)
Ooo good idea.
I’m an android dev too, though only via csharp so all the APIs have very slightly different names or are invoked as properties rather than methods etc (like “cameraManager.getCameraIds()” would be “cameraManager.CameraIds”).
What’s the best way to get involved? Just look for open issues on github?
Yeah just take a look here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa
I’d never used Kotlin or Jetpack Compose before, but I just picked smaller issues to fix that involved copying an existing code pattern or fixing easily repeatable bugs. It was a fun weekend!
Yea been using it on my Samsung tablet in landscape mode which is better then the official Reddit app. I do full stack Dev work so if Reddit continues to double down with their API change then id love to develop my own android app for lemmy.
Me too. Works pretty well so far.
Jerboa did not work for me at all - kept freezing, struggled to stay logged in etc. The first comment I tried to post it just lost into the ether. I ended up giving up on it and am just using my browser.

android, though currently on PC
iOS, why do you ask?
Saw that some lemmings have developed an iOS only app for Lemmy which while I understand is a replacement for Apollo, made me curious of how many people are using android or iPhone.
lemmings? users of this website are called lemmings? OH FUCK YES do you remember “lemmings 2 - the tribes” ?? that game was absolutely the best one in the series. are we all wearing blue snuggies and green mops on our heads too?
To use aussie zone?

Android. On jerboa. It’s fine. Which is nice
Androidian here!
When Apple unlocks the bootloader, I’ll buy one. Until then, a Google Pixel. The iPhone of the Android world, with an unlocked bootloader.
Android. Been a bit tempted to go back to iOS though.

Android for about 12 years now. Started with an iphone 3g, but just after the iphone 4 came out apple rolled out a mandatory ios update that made the 3gs run unbelievably slowly (I’m talking several minute’s delay for almost any action). Thousands of people complained on apple forums, asking for a patch, or simply being able to roll back to the previous ios version. Apple’s response was basically “Instead of us fixing the problem we caused, why don’t you reward us by buying the iphone 4 (while still paying off your 3g under contract)?” Once the contract expired on that 3g about 6 months later I got my first android phone and haven’t gone back.
Android since Nexus One!
Android, LineageOS
