Jerboa for Lemmy

Dessalines

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.

Ratings and reviews

Hello! I tried this today and really like how it looks and thank you for the very customizable font size! Two requests - a serif font (sans is really hard on the eyes of folks with vision issues) and a keyword filter please, to filter out posts, words, titles, and communities we don't want in our feeds. Thanks!👍

Works great and was able to log into my lemmy.world instance. Has a few style options to choose from (I personally prefer the List view, very reminiscent of RIF) SOMETHING TO NOTE!!! when first installing it does not prompt you to login and finding the option is not obvious to the average user. You must press the top left menu button and press the words that say anonymous in order to start the login process. Hopefully this will be changed

Loving it so far! A few notes though, I'd love a link to the comments from the thumbnail preview. Having your default home page set as "subscribed" doesn't affect the app, it always reloads your "local" home page (This seems to be working now). I'd also love better gesture navigation (similar to Relay for reddit) and the ability to view videos/images and stuff as pip within the front page or post, instead of opening the link in its own page. Super excited to see where this app goes!
