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.

Are you a developer of both Lemmy and Jerboa? I just realized I think I've seen your name in both places. You are a freaking hard worker!!!

Ya, realized people kept making flutter and javascript / react native apps for lemmy, so I decided to teach myself jetpack compose and build a native android app for lemmy... I love the reddit app boost, so jerboa is essentially an open source reverse engineering of it's UI.

I haven't been able to contribute much to it lately tho, because I've been overwhelmed with a lot of other priorities, but its been getting a ton of great contributers.

The boost developer did announce boost for lemmy. Might be a nice opportunity to work together.

They're welcome to contribute, but I'm guessing boost for lemmy will be closed source.
